Here's my painting for IF this week... poor old Earth wearing her melting polar icecap.
The text & map are from 19th century books, digitally copied & mounted on canvas, then painted over with acrylics. Then a bit more tweaking in Photoshop... 6x6"
I was looking forward to your entry this week, and you didn't disappoint. Fabulous as always, Leah! I like your take on the polar theme. The use of old text in your paintings gives them a rich antique feel. Keep them coming!
