Outside the Box

8x8 acrylic mixed media
I can finally reveal my Outside the Box piece which was great fun to do. I can't do better than this photo because of the glare on the iridescent paint. The color is much more vibrant than it shows. I drew the dragonflies and then decoupaged them on and painted them with a shimmery acrylic paint. I'll have to think of something different for next year because I want to keep everyone guessing.
By the way the closing party is tonight at North River Arts in Marshfield Hills. Be there or be square.
Don and I and the 'girls' are heading to Parrsboro, Nova Scotia tomorrow for a week. A little slice of heaven.

In a million years I would never have guessed this was yours, but it is beautiful! Enjoy your vacation, and say hello to Parrsboro for me....

Parrsboro, had you gone there before going out of the box, might have seduced you into decoupaging sand dollars, or lupins.

Mary!
Love the shine,the movement, and so much more!
Very nice.
Hard to believe it is only 8" x 8"!
I am happy you are visiting Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. My wife and I spent a summer there many years ago. You are right, it is a little slice of heaven. Especially the clams!
Enjoy!
Michael
