'Rupert Recites Shakespeare' Mixed Media Contemporary Male Figurative Painting by Melody Cleary, Oregon Artist

© Melody Cleary 2012

Appx 13 x 9.5 inches on 140# Arches watercolor paper.

$150 + shipping.

My figurative mixed media paintings just evolve from an abstract collage.  Once the shapes introduce an idea to me, I do some sketching to develop a character, and proceed with acrylic paint and more papers.  Sometimes a struggle, but oh so much fun to see the result.

"Fumiko's Fan Dance" Asian Inspired Contemporary Abstract Figurative Collage Painting by Melody Cleary, Oregon Artist

© Melody Cleary.  9 x 12 image, mixed papers and acrylic on 140# watercolor paper.

"Fumiko's Fan Dance"

These figuratives evolve from a rough grid of layered papers.  Some are transparent acrylic stained that I make myself and then some are store bought handmade and printed papers.  I had no preconceived idea that this would be an asian figure, in fact, I had a totally different idea in my head.  The shapes just suggested this. 

There are tiny dots of shimmery gold on the fans and in a few other pieces of paper giving it some elegance.
