OIL MOSAIC COLLAGE
Oil mosaic collage
I realize that the title could make you think there should be a comma in-between each medium listed in my title of this post but it really is a description of a new method I have invented.
Close-up of face
Method:
I painted a face onto a wooden board I happened to have in my studio. I used the Renaissance oil method. Next, I collaged mosaic tiles onto the surface, giving the piece a rustic, yet rich look.

I just love the way she looks as part of this chair
She is not for sale at this time but I’m working on one I call “The Crone” that I will be posting soon.

Another masterpiece my beautiful friend, she is stunning...watching pennies at the moment as we are moving house...x
ReplyDeleteI love your distinct style-that's a Healing Woman gal! :0) I agree, love her as part of the chair. Wouldn't that be perfect as the back? lovely.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Trish
ReplyDeleteIt's a very interesting technique. Her face is so beautiful, I love how you captured the light so well. The composition with the tiles is really compelling. Me likey!
ReplyDeleteVery cool Cheryl I love your inovation! Will you give my new mosaic blog a visit. Here is an article on my mosaic teacher.
ReplyDeleteoh - I'm having such a time trying to leave comments lately - don't know what blogger is up to!
ReplyDeleteBut had to persist to tell you how inspired I am to see your newest work - and YES I agree it works beautifully with the chair!
I love the mixed textures, how creative! But then that's who you are...a glowing bubble of creativity and inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to dive into next July's class on faces!
She is a beauty Cher. I so love all of your art pieces...so inspiring!! Inspiring as in wanting to do something creative and in realizing that to do so will help soothe the soul. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteExcited to see "The Croon".
Hugs,

THose chair is GORGEOUS. I was not here for days, maybe weeks, I am so sorry. Sometimes I am so busy that I forget (not really forget but....) my blogfriends.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of looking at your beautifully painted faces Cheryl, stunning! I love the added mosaic elements too.
ReplyDeleteMasterpiece! I love the addition of the tiles Cheryl. It makes the art look so natural and artistic at the same time. Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteCheryl you work is so amazing! I can see why this one is not for sale at the moment. I couldn't part with it either. She is so beautiful and with the mosaic it is priceless :)
ReplyDeleteYour women are so ooo-la-la...so mysterious and knowing...just like you I imagine.
ReplyDeleteI think you could be my sister (not qite old enough to be my mother) You seem to be more interested in the same things (and me) than my own.
I am sometimes a terrible blogger friend, but please know you are never far...in my thoughts anyway. ♥♥♥
I love it when you share new techniques- she is gorgeous; I love the way you've combined the richness of your oils with the texture of your mosaics- brilliant!! Can't wait to see the Crone when she's complete!
ReplyDeleteUnique and very beautiful, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteYou have an amazing blog! Enjoying all the posts, pictures and creations!
ReplyDeleteBravo, My Friend! What a stunning collection this will make. Your techniques yield stunning results, and the mosaics add fabulous texture! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteHey girl, all of your art is beautiful but this piece has something a little different. She has an extra depth to her. I think she's holding secrets. Beautiful secrets that make her soul smile. You can see that in her eyes. Bravo, Lynne, bravo!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous painting, I love that pieceful face!
ReplyDeleteI love this lovely lady with her soft and wispy beauty and charm. In fact, I like her more than the Crone, who I think looks a bit evil.
