Mixed Media - Acrylic, Wax Pastels, & Ink On Freezer Paper & Watercolor Paper
Description
This mixed media collage was made using painted freezer paper, Canson 140# CP watercolor paper, acrylic, wax pastels, and ink.
It was inspired by a poem my partner wrote called *Out of the Cosmic Rain*:
Rain...
it is coming...
it is almost here.
We can see it in the distance,
rapidly approaching:
relentlessly,
irresistably,
nurturing and purifying
everything that it touches.
Here it comes... the rain...
The Cosmic Rain.
We await its arrival
and let the advancing droplets
bounce off our bodies,
delighting in its touch.
And then
before we are drenched
I lead you
hurriedly,
protectively,
to a haven,
a safe place
from where we can watch
this single act in God's Grand Design...
A place where I can shield you,
protect you,
envelope you,
bathe you with my love,
and keep you safe;
out of the downpour...
out of the Cosmic Rain.

Miracles happen today one after another. Marsha prayed for me to sell a print today and I sold a print of my ''Winter impression''. I'm so happy....... :)

It is amazing what's happening in this moment, Angela. Saw your gorgeous work, come here to comment on it, saw the great title, read the poem and exactly in that minute started to rain here. It was very warm in Bucharest these days and now it's raining a litlle. Miraculous work you've created. F,v. ___ Ana

WOW! Now Ana, that is truly deep! Here's why: I was uploading work and caught a glimpse of your new avatar and said, "As soon as I finish, I need to write Ana and tell her how much I like her picture..." And then I see this comment from you! Wow! Thank you so much, my friend, for telling me how timely this piece is for you too! So glad your like it! :-)
