Finishing this door hanger challenged me. The background worked and I did not want to cover too much and yet 'keep-it-simple' is not my usual motto. The background is layers and washes of Golden's Pthalo Blue, Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold and Black. I also dry brushed JoSonja Titan Buff over the layers and swiped the background with a Brilliance Galaxy Gold ink pad.I have set my (long suffering) Dad off to look under shearing sheds for more rusty combs, along with the washers, valves, copper pipe and other treasures he regularly collects and donates to my art stash.

Magnificent Julie --as usual
Hey Julie, your work is amazing! I've haven't been keeping up with all that you've been doing, but I've just had a quick look now and I'm blown away! Just wanted to let you know that I've presented you with an 'You Make My Day' award on my blog.
Julie this is mouth wateringly gorgeous!!
Ahhh, is that what those rusty, spikey things are! I have a few of those and I had no idea what they were. Just love the door hangers you have been doing, all that rust *sigh*. great stuff!

Love this background!!! Have to get myself some of these wonderful Golden fluid acrylics.
Beautiful piece...think you finished it off just perfectly.
Great work Julie! Just gotta love those washes! And as for the rust.... xo
This is just too wonderful Julie!!! Love the colour combo and that rusty comb is perfect! Makes me wanna run it through my hair.....NOT! LOL
Doreen said it best....magnificent! The colors in this piece are so gorgeous and they just make the rusted items stand out more. I hope your dad comes back with tons of things for you to use!!
And I loved reading about Harvey jumping on the bed. He's definitely coming around....he's just being cautious and taking it slow and easy. He's so cute!!
This is delicious Julie! Hope your dad finds more combs for you...he is a treasure.
I love your new piece! It's so great that your dad finds things for you.
