Please Do This

The title is taken from a piece of love letter from my grandaddy to my grandmother while he was stationed over seas. So many of their missives are filled with the magic of the mundane. In this letter he is instructing her about a number of things, including what shirts to send him. They were so young.

This mixed media floral abstract is on a 30 x 40 x 1.5 inch canvas. Made with magazine clippings, painted papers, ink, pastel, acrylics, and watercolor. Sides are collaged. The entire piece has a satin varnish giving it a lovely light sheen.

I wanted it to feel like flowers dancing in the breeze.
