Fun With Acrylics

This afternoon I created an abstract painting of the goddess Brigit. I began by squeezing several colors onto the canvas and then used various tools to spread the paint over layers of acrylic medium and scraps of torn magazines. As I Moved the paint around with the palette knives, this face started to emerge and then everything else fell into place.

The tools I used were palette knives, old plastic membership cards, plastic forks and a putty knife.

Brigit – Abstract – Mixed Medium – 22 X 28 inches on canvas

Fiery Arrow

“Brigit, excellent woman,

Flame golden, sparkling,

May she bear us to the eternal kingdom,

She the sun, fiery, radiant!”

Seventh-century Hymn to Saint Brigit
