She's Finished! 12x18 paper painting
This is total fantasy gardening. I do realize that these plants don't all bloom at the same time and gowns are not very practical when pruning, but this was so much fun to imagine and paint!
She Baked the Loaves and Dried the Fishes
24 x 24 inch mixed media collage on birch panel Copyright Robin Birrell 2015 - Do Not copy without permission This is my latest large work for entry into the 10th International Art Competition for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The theme is "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus". John 6: 9-14 tells of a lad who selflessly contributed his five barley loaves and two fishes to be used by the Savior, who miraculously fed the five thousand gathered to hear the Gospel message. This painting depicts the lad's older sister who, in my imagination, climbed into the foothills near Galilee to find her brother amongst the crowd and deliver the food she had lovingly prepared for him. For this piece, I used whatever I felt like using at the time. It is a combination of acrylic, ink, colored pencil and, of course, Paper!
Who cares? She is beautiful! The gown and the gardens are lovely, the ending product exquisite. You are so talented, I know in the future I will be able to say, "Yes, I actually DO KNOW her. I am not joking. I own one of her pieces. Yes, I AM serious!"
