Glitterama!

"Orange Lichen", acrylic on canvas, 10 x 10", 2012

I finished the painting I started yesterday.  Inspired by orange lichen, it has become much more.  It was fun to paint, and refreshing to work on something abstract after years of realism.  It contains several shades of glitter, microbeads, and the tiniest seed beads.  Some might be thinking “Why all the glitter?” and the answer is; I just don’t know.  It’s fun and sparkly.  I needed it.  In fact I need to start another glitter lichen/fungi painting now! 

(The painting looks even better in person.)
