Ringmaster in Etsy treasury!

My 'Ringmaster' piece has made it into its first treasury on Etsy! How cool is that?? :) The treasury is called "A "Maize" of Teal.." by Pandaluv. Click here to see the treasury & here to see Pandaluv's profile. Thanks again!!

Ringmaster Finished!

I put the final touches on my 'Ringmaster' canvas last night & I'm really pumped with how it came out! I ended up carving out a custom stamp of a circus tent & hand stamped it onto the canvas with burnt umber paint. Here's an image with it about 1/2 way done:
Once the stamp was applied I decided to forgo the text and call it complete. Although when I post this on Etsy I'll include the text in the description. See text below:

'Words fall through the air
dropping onto candy coated
ears

Ruddy sheen face's perma-grin
honey glazed eyes
wide open

Iridescent teeth ga-faw

Errant popcorn sails
its carefree ride, resting under benches
whispering to each other-

what a show'

And here are the pics of the finished canvas!

Ring Master Pt1

A few pics of the newest canvas: I started out w/ a canvas board I'd tried a much of diff. techniques on, then took a transparency with a ring master figure on it (I'd made during my thesis work in college), and framed the image w/ a thrift store find! I think I still have some things to play around with before it's finished-but it's a start :)
More pics to come!
