Newest Piece: I Will Shine On & Persevere

Here's my most recent finished piece I've been working on. I started this two years ago with just the Camellia blooms. I used photos from a trip at the Memphis Botanical Garden as reference.

Occasionally, I begin a painting without a clear idea of what I want to create. It continues to develop over time. In this case, two years. I have repainted this specific piece so many times it has multiple layers, which I love.

Materials I used:

Acrylic paint

Spray paint

Decorative paper

Mod Podge

Ink

Magazine clipping of Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles in the movie Cabaret.

Pressed hydrangea blooms (from my garden.)
