Description
The Happy FaceUpon finding herself lost she remembered the words of a kind stranger:
When all becomes confusing and everything begins to lose it's sanity - Remember the happy face and you'll feel right in place.
Mixed media: watercolor, colored pencils
Finally have a good camera to take pictures of some of my older works!! I think there is much to be said about the use of a smile - used so often in so many different ways.

My is this bizarre... the palette is so deceiving. It's only when I gave it a closer look did I notice the, well, the Happy Face.
Guess we all have one of those :)
Very soothing and dreamy, makes me think of meadows, flowing streams and cool spring breeze.

I love your signature touches.
They're little things and additions that make your picture really fun to look at (along with the complexity of the message it's sending).
Like one of those "Find this!" in a picture.
The way you can turn unrelated things into each other - water to water ripples to candles.
That's talent, as I said before.
And yes, the mind's a stage and we are all actors coming on and off, frequently changing masks. But the mind - it's awareness of itself and what it percieves, nah, that never goes away.
Reminds me of Masquerade from Phantom of the Opera. Because it's so threatening and unsafe, but at the same time so happy and blatently true.
Your art is comprised of win.

I love the softness of the piece 
The combination of elements really draw me into the image. The fishbones, the candles, and of course, the mask. Smiles are so very difficult to understand. One can never be sure with them. They can be of delight (whereas "delight" can be from a positive thing or an evil plan that's worked just as planned), of pride, or nervousness, or sometimes smirks. Smiles are actors. The chameleon of the face.
Wonderful, beautiful, and yet, sad in a way.

Best part about working on a piece is working on the little things.
Thank you Marzipana!

Lovely colors, I specially like the fish/bones and the "melty" effect on the girl's feet.
Which type of paper do you use?, I mean, you use watercolor paper? or other type of absorbent paper?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Usually the paper used is just absorbent enough (thick) to hold the watercolors.

Fish-bones are fun to incorporate within a piece. Such an odd element ^^

I like the image...and the message. And I love the fact it's not a beat you over the head sort of symbolism.
You sort of, flow into it.
