Fly Like Eagles, Fly with Eagles

My latest acrylic with gel medium so it is then classified as mixed media.

I really enjoyed painting this using gel medium and exploring with water using a mist bottle and dripping the acrylic on the panel and spraying water on it.  Since starting an art journal I have really enjoyed the friend of creating new techniques.

I actually gave this one to a friend who looked just like this lady.

Behind the Mask

Painting of a Peacock and a Lady in a Mask

This painting was inspired when I was working with Indian ink, giving a 3D feel to it.  I have always loved peacocks and their colours.  I could hear their “johaan” call as I progressed with this painting and remembered when going with my son when he was 3 to the MacDonald Farm, chatting to the male peacock there.  All the kids just loved it when I shouted “johaan” and he proceeded to answer me back and fanning his tail feathers to its fullest bloom.  Perhaps “Proud as a Peacock” should have been the name of this painting, but I could not make the girl look “proud”.
