Original Mixed Media Medusa Painting 12" x 16"

I've always loved the stories of The Medusa...those tales of beauty and ugliness, curiosity and consequences. I've drawn her a few times, but decided to take a more classical approach for this stencil.

I put down a cream and grey background of acrylic washes over distressed text on a 12" x 16" canvas. Medusa was sprayed in black and red over a section of grey-brown gold. The final step was adding deep red and pink embroidery thread to her neck area. 12" x 16" canvas with the hanging hardware attached.

*Please understand that while I do my absolute best to match the colors in the photo to the actual painting, no two monitors are the same and there may be a very slight color variation. If you have any questions or would like to see additional photos please let me know.
