Mixed media canvas

In January, I started working on a canvas.  I collaged it, then smeared some paint on it, then added some gesso to tone it down.  Then I set it aside. 

The canvas sat on top of a bookcase.  For months.  I worked on a quilt for my daughter's doll, some drawing, learned to use Copic markers, and made some small canvases, among other things, before getting back to the canvas.  One day, I got an idea and had to pull out a pad of paper to sketch it out.  This is what it morphed into. 

Your radiance shines in every atom of creation ~ Rumi
