Grenouille



This piece was inspired by a novel I was reading entitle Perfume. I used lots and lots of layers of found papers, thread, and encaustic wax. I think this will be one of my concentration pieces. I felt like it was missing something but I was unsure of how to improve it. Any suggestions?



This piece is done on a small canvas with acrylic paint. I wanted to do something abstract that was still 'my style'. I intend to use this piece for breadth in my portfolio. I really like the colors and I'm glad that Mr. Brandt pushed me to create variety by adding found objects. It definitely adds to the piece and gives it more depth. The found objects I used included gauze and strips of paper.
