IF "Paisley"

on
Wedding Dress
photomontage/mixed media
Well, I guess I am still in anniversary mode. This is Wedding Dress. I have spent several hours/days obsessing on this piece (as I normally do with my work) I am pretty sure it's because I got the crazy idea of recreating my wedding dress. Yes, crazy! I won't share more on this piece being that, I like my work to tell its own story to the viewer, but I do hope you like it. I decided to add "Paisley" in this montage for IF. So where's the "Paisley" you ask? Hmmm... might be difficult to see it's small, sorry but I promise it's there. Look around, can you find it or can you guess? Perhaps I will show a close-up before Friday :)

    Hello Ivy, first of all, it's beautiful your wedding gown.
    Well, I suppose that an artist should not explain his work, so if I were you I would not say where is the Paisley. If you say it is, the viewer must look, and if not found, bad luck.
    It is a beautiful work of art!!
    congratulations (Yo le mando un abrazo al "Gordo")

    hello!

    First of, thx for the comment you left on my blog! then, i had a look at your site, your oils are really great, specially the ones where the shapes are less detailled, like the girl talk, or the one with 2 people on a bench, the light, the colors, the brush work, it's really beautiful. I would love to paint more...you inspired me to start again!

    great atmospheric piece, ethereal is the perfect word to describe it. I think the paisley is the pattern on the chair seat?

    Love the softness of the dress in contrast to the hard etches of the black trees. Very magical

    My, this is so hauntingly innocent, Ivy! I love the bitter sweet sense of the whole thing... It seems that you have a lot going in the head there. (^__^)

    Love the starkness of the trees against the delicate beauty of the dress, very original.
    PS I think it's on the chair seat!?!
