Grecian Urns

It has been some time since I could just spend time creating art. Life speeds up on us when we seem to need it to slow down a bit and we least expect it. Last month, I started to work on these 2 Grecian urns. I enjoyed working on them and now look forward to finding the right color of mat to use around them and a frame to compliment the shades of green used. They are done in pastel but I tried something new. A friend told me she mixes tempera paint with some acrylic and lays down the foundation of the painting/drawing. When she finishes with pastel it has a bit more of a grit to it to hold the color.
