WW: Almost Finished {Linky}

My first painting in January is pretty much done. I put a raven in the sky last night, but forgot to re-shoot it.

It's a tepee with a cityscape taking it over. Did you know that tepee can be spelled teepee and tipi as well?

Medias: Acrylic paint on canvas mostly painted with a plastic bag, thread stitching, Isaak's old pants were dipped in Gesso and used for the tepee, toothpicks, vinyl triangles, and pencil shavings out of the pencil sharpener. Very much mixed media.





Update: Here's the finished version I hope. I added lavender triangles, and the raven in the sky to stand for destruction.

  6. Ai-

    When I looked it up in the dictionary it said, "tepee |ˈtēˌpē| (also teepee or tipi)".

  16. I love it, Alissa...it's super beautiful indeed. We just finished working on a project of Native American as well but we had a wigwam instead of teepee :)
