"Fabric of Life"
SOLD
This is an original, one-of-a-kind, life sized hanging mannequin. It never has been or will be reproduced. It is signed and dated by the artist. It was created in July, 2006 using a variety of acrylic paint, glaze, crushed pearl mica, gold mica, and a touch of glitter. The delicate, detailed butterflies seem to hover above the frilly pink flowers. There is a mixture of nine butterflies (one Monarch, three cream colored Parnassiuses, and five Common Blues.) A rich metallic background; one side black, copper, bronze, and brown, and the other gray, white, cream and silver, is intersected by an organically shaped stripe of teal paisley, metallic dot patterns, and tiny flower buds. There is crushed mica and tiny shimmering glitter cascading down the stripe. Tiny "stitches" give this piece depth and personality. It appears to be somehow sewn together as one piece.
This painting is bright, shiny and vibrant. Tons of neutral shades in the background mixed with the bold, vivid colors of the flowers, butterflies, and stripe of shimmering paisley allow it to coordinate easily with any color/theme of decor. It is lightweight and varnished, so it will hang safely on any wall (hook included). This piece will add a touch of elegance, and loads of texture to any space.
