Painting 30 in 30 - Day 16/Redbird

"Redbird Highway"
9" x 12"
collage with acrylic mixed media



Bottom layer was tissue paper adhered with
gel medium, then lots of paint flinging.  I stamped
a small piece of tissue paper
with a rubber stamp I had
made of flowers, and added it on top
of the paint - hoping to
create something more of a theme or focus, 
but then a little redbird showed up
on the right edge and I decided
I saw a branch and mountains and
embellished that direction.
Some palette knife was used, and I am
getting more adept at 
'being the boss of it'.  

Didn't photograph right - but such is life
these past few days.
Redbird doesn't show up very well.

Tomorrow is another day.

Thanks. Hard to do these abstract and semi-abstracts. I like control, and these feel out of control. Have a hard time letting it go, but it's teaching me some things definitely - mainly color balancing and the medium itself.
