Fabled in Verse by BJ Wright

Beginning with a 12"x12" paper, layers of paint, stamping, stenciling, etc are applied. During this process, the paper can be turned so the image is viewed from different angles. A theme or object becomes clear and the process continues.

This particular painting began as dress pattern tissue paper. A layer of opaque acrylic paint was applied to the back side of the paper, giving it more body. Great care is needed when handling the wet tissue paper. Then the paper's right side is painted with layering of opaque and transparent paints applied using hand cut rubber stamps. We occasionally use purchased stamps...in this case the script.
