"Stowaway" revamped

-


   I've been loving the work of some great Art Nouveau pattern makers, William Morris, Eugene Grasset, Anton Seder and of course, Alphonse Mucha. I haven't been comfortable with the empty space in my little "Stowaway" painting so here it is revamped with a little Art Nouveau style (and a lot of recycled paper) added. Now it's as busy as all the rest of my work, 

haha!

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!
