Amyma's New Work

adameve

frolo

This is my new insanity. The first is Adam and Eve ( larger size.) The second is Frolo the Reluctant Angel (larger size.) Both are 16"x20" on gallery wrapped canvas. Both are being toted to a gallery in Raleigh next week for my first stab at entering a juried exhibition. The basics of this technique were learned at Artfest last year.
These just came pouring out of me as I worked on them. I love the layering and embellishment. It is hard to see all of it over the net.
The struggle I had was in pricing. I finally settled on $240 through a variety of pricing theories.

  • OK, I made them bigger for you Nicci, and added links to even bigger ones on Flickr. It is still hard to see the detail. Both hve torn paper backgrounds which add a ton of texture. They are also both heavily glittered. Frolo's Halo (yes Frolo is a cross between halo and afro. It looks like a golden afro!) is gold leaf, and he has little rhinestones on his wings. All of them have jeweled pupils.
