The Blessing Girl Numbers 6

Alcohol Inks By Merri Lewis

Meet The Blessing Girl. She is a sweet girl, Gratitude fills her as the very face of God shines down on her. Imagine that! Initially, I made her as a gift for a special friend on her 70th birthday! The new one is painting is a remake since I had an error in the reference verse of the original (That makes it even more valuable, right?) This original was done before I knew much about alcohol ink. I made it on Yupo Paper and painted the girl on delipaper and collaged it on top of the background. Now I know you can prime a regular canvas with acrylic paint, and drop the alcohol ink right on top of that, since it is non-porous! I used matte medium over the top of the alcohol inks and painted normally over the background with acrylic To add the girl And a few flowers. And now the version 2 of The Blessing Girl has been born! I love how vibrant the colors turned out. Numbers 6: 24-26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. ”’ Beautiful, right?
