Pacata corda (Latin) Peaceful Hearts
Took some time, but she is finished... It all started with my sketch.. This relief measures 12"x18"... Faux stone was created with mixed media, Angel, bird and cloth were hand sculpted with paper clay... I love the feel of this clay, it is very soothing for the hands and the mind.. I used several light washes of fine acrylics in Terra Cotta and burnt umber... It really can only be appreciated in person, as I seem to be unable to capture the true colors...
While working on this particular piece, my emotions went up and down with the horrific world events of the day, but ending with faith... A calm knowing that one day all the dear souls left behind will come together with their loved ones, and those with troubled hearts for many reasons will also find their path, and we shall all know peace. This is my wish for all in the New Year.. Pacata corda --- A Peaceful Heart...
