Barbara Lee & Virginia

This is going backwards-- I need to think about how I enter these posts so you see the first things first.

OK-- This is the second big collage piece I did--- It's a picture of my mother and her big sister (Barbara Lee). It's a darling picture of them and I'm happy with the way the textured background came out-- That's a layer of gesso for texture and I used a stencil to get the flowery pattern-- then layered on several different colors in acrylic to enhance the texture. The photo of the girls what scanned in and colored and sized in Photoshop. The overall size is 16 x 20.
