I know that a lot of you thought that this painting was pretty cool but it just was not doing anything for me the creator. So one sunny day while in a zen state and all my paints outdoors, I proceeded to change it up first off by adding texture with some tissue paper to cover the under painting which I was no longer able to add gesso on top of the varnish medium that I had used. I applied that with modeling paste and let it set for 24 hours. The next day I decided to use up the rest of my paints with pouring medium so that I could clean out the containers and make a new batch and proceeded to drip like a 5 year old randomly on the canvas. I did have the idea of doing a humming bird for my sister in law but in the end when it dried it looked more like a hawk to me. She was visiting from Ottawa and walked past the room it was drying in and fell in love with it before knowing it was for her. She said it reminded her of a fairy butterfly. So having that in mind, I then added some whimsy to it with gold edging. And of course I was unable to pull myself away from it and added some gloss medium really thick with some glitter. It is drying now and will probably take 3 to 4 days to do so.
