still life with wallpaper 24 x 24 mixed media




Meme gallery here in Tulsa is having a show called 2 x 2. I saw something about it a few weeks ago and thought I would paint up something quick. So I chose to use acrylics. I have had the idea of putting wallpaper in a painting for many years. I like the way it turned out. I use a limited palette of only a light and dark red, a light and dark yellow and a light and dark blue plus white. I mix all my colors and acrylics just do not cut it! I was fighting it the whole time. I am excited to do this again with oils.
