WIP

This is what I have been working on this week. It is for a friend that is going through some big changes in her life. She drew the couch and I was inspired by it so I asked her if I could have the drawing to make her something. I painted the couch with watercolors then layered on all the collage pieces. There are 4 buttons because she has 4 children. Do you see the cameo head in the middle of the buttons? That represents my friend, we laugh and call ourselves domestic goodesses (we are kidding of course) The piece is better in "real life" Sometimes the computer screen just cannot translate the texture of a collage very well. Looks like red is playing a big role in my art lately. Hmmm wonder what that means.
