Strength


This probably has little to do with strength. I had trouble coming up with something for this topic, so I delayed until Thursday night.
Strong clothes pin? Strong clothes line? Strong proud giraffe perhaps?

This is a composite of two of my acrylic paintings, made into a collage. The girl is my daughter at about the age of eight. I had scanned or photographed the paintings, then printed them out on matte heavyweight paper, cut them up, and slathered glue and varnish on everything.
It's a bit messy but I wanted to submit something before the deadline.

Night


I'm not sure what this is. I wanted to paint with acrylics (since I hadn't for a few years) and also use an artboard, which I had never done.
So it started out with the chair, window and background, in acrylic paint. Then I decided on a figure seated on the chair, but I wanted it to be transparent, so I made that with tracing paper, colored pencil and watercolor.
I have no idea what that thing is that she is holding. It just happened that way.
