Since my artist friend Paula Mould keeps asking me to post photos of my process, here it is…These are 4 plywood panels 8″ x 10″ x 1″ each. I’ve used green painters tape to block off certain areas and started with some dark acrylic paint.

I cut out some bird shapes using coloured paper, then used a fineÂ
archival ink marker, Pigma Micron 01 to draw some designs.

The birds and other cut out paper shapes are glued to the panels using an acrylic gel medium.
Â
More paint is added.
More layers of paint are added, letting coats dry in between.
Some words are painted on…bloom, shine, dream and blossom.
Finished details.
