When a bad habit caught me in its vicious circle of hopelessness, the only way out was surrender and prayer, one day at a time.

yeah i was wondering about that lavitating aspect in the right hand corner, and besides those symbols i simply adore the 'whitewash' over it all, rendering the tale {which it to me is} a weathered, lived effect.
ReplyDeletethis is quality composition too!

I love your mixed technique and, just like Nadine, the white layer. I also thought of bad habits, maybe this will be a day to strengthen the good ones...
ReplyDeleteHope to see you again next dc, getting to hear more about you.
Hi Sus, this is really intriguing/good! I love a white layer too. Thanks for your kind comments xoxo Deb
ReplyDeleteDear Sus,
ReplyDeletevery strong! Love that white layer and scratches and of cours that ladder... it shows your best intention for your 'bad' habits :)
Love
x Ariane.
Well, Sus, I don't think all the bad habits that appear in your drawing are (still .... ;-) !) yours
ReplyDeleteLove the texture of all the layers
LOVE those houses with the two moons above Sus. I'd love to see lots more of this type of collage...I mean with houses...I've been dreaming of house shapes. Maybe I'll dig out some papers and scissors and see what I come up with. I love this piece. Those ladders. Oh those ladders. There's tons more here in this piece so I'll be coming back with my magnifying glass to have a look see. Lovely work as always. Hugs, Norma, x

ReplyDeleteGreat detail in this artwork Sus
ReplyDeleteI am loving the composition and the washed effect the layering of imagery is just so interesting. They do say some good always comes from bad I think this may be it.
