Paint Party Friday - Zen

I didn't quite know what to call this piece, it was inspired by a Chanel ad I saw in a magazine, advertising makeup. I loved that the image was upside down. It's acrylic on cardstock (4.5" x 6.5") I thought it looked very 'zen', so there you have it!

Linking to Paint Party Friday, thanks to Kristin and Eva for hosting!

It looks very calm and serene. Is that what you mean by Zen? Good job, Christine!

I love Chanel and in fact that's how I feel when I apply it to my ear lobes and wrists. The scent takes you bye bye. Nice job. Thanks.

Rita said...

It's an interesting perspective...is she really updside down or are you looking at her lying down? I agree that she looks like she is sleeping in a garden...that seems pretty zen to me! Nice work, Christine.

Christine said...

yes Gigi!

Christine said...

Rita I think you are right, lying down is more accurate. I guess I see it as 'upside down'.

Luv the way you painted the image and it does give a dreamy surreal feel to the entire composition.
