Dance of the Seven Veils
That was the title this rose suggested to me. It just reminded me of a dancer twirling in gossimer. Building upon my love of the look of translucent watercolor, while being an oil painter, this painting is oil on canvas. (Sold)
I painted it in thin glazes adjusting the colors subtly to get a glow and create the light effects.
While I do many more paintings of animals, because my passion is helping the neediest animals in rescue with donations from my sales of my work, I have found that other subject matter also has been well received.
In the last four years the small group of artists known as ART HELPING ANIMALS has donated over $70,000.00 to assist rescues from coast to coast. This is primarily from donations from our artwork sales. I am a founding member of that fellowship of artists.
Our work can be seen on our site http://www.arthelpinganimals.com and we represent ourselves on The Daily Painters Gallery with work posted daily.
