Chinese Proverb Canvas
Finished this canvas this weekend. I'm 100% in love with the Chinese Proverb that I discovered in the July/August issue of Cloth Paper Scissors. The artist who utilized this proverb in the article "Art at the Speed of Life" is Pam Carriker. Her work is full of layers, textures and gorgeous colors. Her talent is inspirational. I'm not 100% happy with my hand lettering, but that can only improve, right???? Sharpy does not flow well over Golden's Tar Gel medium, note to self! I'm a slut for that shiny surface though!
