This started out as a pencil drawing which lead to a few attempts at enhancing it. The body is done the same as the others. She’s pieced together as if she were a quilt or patchwork people as I like to call them. She’s sewn together and even missing in some places but she does not fret. She still stops to smell the flowers. Note: The piece on her arm that was missing has been corrected, that’s the version that’s on Redbubble right now, the fixed version.
I do believe this is the version I’m happy with. Sometimes a painting just doesn’t feel finished so I keep messing around with it until I get that “ah, there it is” feeling. I felt it so here she is, “Raindrops.”
You can also view Raindrops at my Redbubble shop. She’s available in several print styles. At this time she is available only through Redbubble. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment or use the sidebar for contact info.
Thanks for looking,
F. Magdalene

Change a few colours, add texture, define the body as female and you’ve got a totally different feel to this image.

You Are Expressionism
|
Moody, emotional, and even a bit angsty… you certainly know how to express your emotions.At times, you tend to lack perspective on your life, probably as a result of looking inward too much.This introspection does give you a flair for the dramatic. And it’s even maybe made you cultivate some artistic talents!You have a true artist’s temperament… which is a blessing and a curse.

What Art Movement Are You?
Oh, like you know me? LOL Dang it. I hate it when blogthings is right. Yes, I have a tendency to manipulate real life images and reality to express a certain emotion. I guess that makes me an expressionist. That’s kinda cool. Read more of what wiki has to say about expressionists here.

Doing this was just for fun…very fun…my very first digital collage. Three images in one. The very top is Sacrifices, the bottom is Waiting for The Wind To Change and the middle, well, that’s me presenting these two pieces to you with a scarf I never wear.

I use to feel rather self conscious about using my face in my own artwork as if it somehow meant I thought too much of myself. I’ve learned recently that the self portrait is one of the oldest forms of portrait making. That’s a sigh of relief for me. No, I’m not all into myself, I’m just available when I need a model and I don’t charge myself for a sitting. Dare I say I’m cheap and available? 
Now that I’ve had some fun I can go to sleep. Ah, what a long day.
