Since opening Art Creations by Vicky, I have sold all sizes of art from my largest piece (that was actually two pieces) to the smallest from my Mini Assemblage Art line. But the most popular size seems to be a rather long skinny canvas that measures 4″ by 12″. I’m actually sold out of this size so it’s past time to bring in another. I’ve named it Spring Day.

Although Spring Day is a rather simple design, that, in and of itself, makes it more difficult for me as the artist. See – simple is hard for me to do. I’m not minimalistic when creating my artwork – I want to fill all my space – I want to keep adding little details or bits of additional texture. I felt compelled to fill the space somehow above and below the bird but I knew it was best to leave it alone. Showing my sister Mary several pieces of finished work recently, she helped confirm that thought. She chose Spring Day as her favorite because it did have that blank space. So thanks to Mary, I now feel assured that Spring Day is just right.

And now for the official description:

With a bird at its center, this Assemblage Art on Canvas actually shows off its assemblage detail at the top and bottom of the piece with dozens of found objects forming arch collages. Measuring 12.0″ by 4.0″ with a depth of 1.25″, the background is textured with stenciled modeling paste and finished off with a number of paints, spritzes, and metallic waxes.

The center bird is showcased in a metal frame surrounded with a beaded garland. The two flowers above and below the framed bird are actually vintage plaster decorative pieces for use in constructing a chandelier. Vintage elements include various jewelry pieces, wooden half round, buttons, beads, and a brass weight. Newer elements include floral cabochons, numerous metal embellishments, and filagreed metal round.

A hanger is attached and, while most of my assemblage art can be framed, this piece has elements that reach slightly beyond the sides of the canvas making it an unlikely candidate for framing. However, I prefer the no-frame look which allows the sides of the canvas to display their color as well.
