Ninth Wave Designs' photostream

I found a little bit of time last weekend for artwork and created this very little painted card. The card itself measures 2.375″ high by 1.625″ wide. Framed it measures 3.5″ wide by 4.5″ high and is 1.25″ deep. The card is made from 4 ply Strathmore 500 bristol board and it is painted with acrylic inks, watercolor pencils and metallic acrylics. I floated the card against a background of antique marbled paper.

This original small framed painting is available for sale in my Etsy store HERE.

This detail shows one of the waves created to represent the Mother’s Day flood of 2006. The Episcopal shield appears at the base as part of the Sesquicentennial logo.

In the center of this plaque is St. Paul himself, with the elements of the School shield separated around him. The upper left corner has the open book, commemorating the beginning of Mr. Matthews’ tenure as Rector. The spiral form in the upper right represents Hurricane Katrina. The Sesquicentennial dates are shown in pencil on the ribbon behind St. Paul and will be painted in as part of the finish.

The finished carving for the 2006 Form Plaque.

In this photo you can see the finished football center left, and the map of Japan top right. The book with Mr. Matthews’ initials is almost complete at this stage.

More details need to be added and the lower section needs to take shape, so there is still quite a bit to be done before this carving is complete.
