I'm With You In The Stars
Acrylic on oil painting canvas textured paper.
Standard A3
I really didn’t have anything much in mind for this in concept, I just wanted to be unrestricted and let it flow in what ever direction I felt I wanted this to go in.
I did have a reason for painting another self portrait. The group Bubbler Portraits is currently holding a challenge to paint a portrait of me and I am allowed to enter so I really wanted to attempt something new.
I guess I ended up mixing a few different things I sometimes do in my paintings to end up with this result. When I finished it I wanted my beloved to know that I am always watching over him with my great love and prayers…that I believe completely in miracles and in the wonder and awesomeness of God…these were my feelings when I stepped back to view my work.
MUCH love, beauty, joy and God’s miracles to you all!!

Fantastic Tahnja…makes me want to rethink the models entering their own pieces! lol but really, this is wonderful…the colours are amazing. And I love love how you blended the background bits…gave the piece and overall softness. Very magical and inspiring.
Tahnja replied 20 days ago
Yeah, I thought you might think about changing the rules lol lol lol…..but hey, while you haven’t I thought I would at least have a go! lol
You are wonderful! I did layer the background a few times because it wasn’t quite going the way I wanted and I had to blend the colours in a few times to make it work but in the end the softness started happening which is what I wanted….still gotta work on softness
