INSPIRATION

I think we all get into a lack of creative mojo mood now and again, and I really needed some inspiration to get my mojo moving in a different direction.
I have been away on a small retreat with the lovely Gale Price and have always been inspired by her amazing work.  So I have used her work as my inspiration for this next piece.  Gale does amazing stuff with "eyes" and faces, so I tried my hand..
I spoke with Gale and she gave me a few tips, so I got to work!
I used a Mont Marte hard wood canvas as Gale recommended and found the surface lovely and strong for my first attempt.
