Preparing Violet and Tino for the Art Exhibit Next Week

After weeks of preparation - I am finally finishing up the mixed media portrait of Violet and Tino.   The portrait was originally done in pastel on an acrylic painted background.  Here I took the painting and modpodged it to glass.   For the matting I am reversing the collage elements of with various papers depicting pinks, and some floral to tie in the floral on Violet's shirt as well as the blues.

As you can see I am working at the kitchen table - as it is freezing outside - making it too cold to work in my studio in the basement.  Hopefully Violet and Tino will look good enough for me to exhibit in the Galloway Cultural Arts Center next week.
