"Barbie Girl" Original Abstract Collage Painting By Ohio Contemporary Artist Donna Holdsworth

I am still working on my composition studies.  This one was called overlapping frames.  This composition took patience.  I did a simple work on paper, then painted this abstract collage painting on canvas.  This is where I ended up.  The colors just sort of evolved.  I like the combination.  Alizarin crimson, buff, gold, black and white over a warm under painting.  Just a pinch of glitter paint and gold leaf flakes gave it that "Barbie Girl" look.  Acrylic, painted papers and lace on canvas.  16x20.  Available for purchase on my website.
