blithe spirit

Mixed media piece; paper, watercolor, acrylic on canvas. Niece Piper was the inspiration — was thinking of her since she’s coming to visit this weekend. Wanted to do something soft, sweet, simple.

Then, because I’m a cheeky bugger, I scanned it again and inverted the colors in iPhoto.

  1. Wow. They’re both beautiful – I can’t decide which one I like better (not that I really have to, it’s probably not required of me, huh?) – I just keep going from one…to the other…to the other. Pretty cool, Tracey.

  2. I’m just looking at them again – I really like the sort of tug at the corner of her mouth. Almost heading into a smile, but who knows. At least, that’s how it looks to me. I really like her face.

  3. Tracey – these are incredible. I love her necklace and her belt. And also the way she seems to be floating through watercolor-y polka dots … I love these. The second one looks like she could be a mermaid, or some type of Lorelei … with those deep ocean-ish colors. Really beautiful – thank you for sharing.

  4. With the colors inverted, she does look like a mermaid. She’s a blithe Lorelei mermaid.

    NF — /”Yellow Submarine” without all the acid./ Hahahahaha! But … how can you be sure …. 😉

    Thank you, everyone. It’s kinda naked feeling to put this stuff out there. So, thanks.
