Spanish Señorita

 

It's a Friday and I've got a painting in progress on my desk so I decided to join Paint Party Friday!  "Spanish Señorita" is a mixed media piece inspired by my recent trip to Spain.  She's got a map of Madrid background, some lace, pieces of a broken wooden fan, colored pencil, Promarkers, Copic markers, watercolors, poster color and gesso on watercolor paper!  I hope you like her!

Also linking up with Inspiration Avenue and Studio Sneak Peek!

    She's very nice! I like her. The fan coming out of the frame is a nice touch. Well done.

    Wow, your art work is beautiful. That is such a mild statement compared to what I want to say. I wish I could paint like that. Your señorita has the elegant look that someone with a fancy fan and lace mantilla would have. Faye

    Gosh she reminds me so much of a movie star from the early 40's but it must be too early in the morning for me to figure it out....it'll bug me all day, lol.
    either way she is beautiful.. I love the eyes and how you can tell just how she was born.

    Peggy,

    I came from IA. This is the first time I've seen you join in and this theme is right up our alley. I like how you got the hand to work in perfectly. Love the completed (or nearly completed) piece. It is fantastic.

    Oh wow Peggy, your picture looks amazing. I love the way the lace on her veil is added and the pieces of broken fan, they really add that extra bit of texture that makes all the difference.

    Really beautiful.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog this week.

    Happy Crafting!
