"Cracked Ice" 16 x 20 acrylic on canvas Abstract



16 x 20
175.00
Something a little different from me today!
When we were up at the cabin at Murphy Lake, last month, there was hardly any snow on the lake.
I took some cool pictures of the ice and what it looks like when it cracks.
The real life version is not nearly as colorful,
but this is how it looks inside my head!

I love how these little wings came together.
I painted a pink heart shape then added the purple and blues,

Leslie's Wings of Love - A Commission

These are Leslie Graham's Wings of Love
So great to work with her.
She brought me her Grandparents' love letters, her parents love letters, baby footprints and copies of their hospital braclets, letters from her family and music books from over the years.
Leslie is a Reiki Master, so I included some Reiki symbols, and orbs.
I felt honored to be a witness to all the love from the generations of her family.
