Ode to La Fee Verte

Ode to La Fee Verte

Altered Art Painting
by Chris Plastic



The Green Fairy is a subtle temptress.
She’ll lure you in with her mystique and charm
and, before you know it, you’re under her spell.

This paint chip has not been altered, other than by my painting,
in other words it has not been cut and the hole at the
bottom left was there originally.





Due to the nature of the piece, there could be no corrections,
so this was all very carefully sketched on here
and then delicately painted.
The piece is 3 x 5 3/8" and is initialed and dated
at the bottom left hand corner.
It will have a clear coating applied so that painting doesn’t rub off.

Gateau Tour de Summer


Gateau Tour de Summer

Altered Art Painting

by Chris Plastic







This fantastical cake is painted in acrylics

on a piece of moderately distressed paper.

(If you think that’s heavily distressed,

you haven’t seen some of my other work.)



This prelude to summer is loaded with strawberries

and orange and
lemon

slices.

The lowest tiers are layered with lady fingers,

the bottom row of which are dipped in chocolate.

To complete the effect, this magnificent culinary delight

sits proudly atop a vintage blue milk glass pedestal with a scalloped rim.



The overall size of this piece is 6 x 12",

so it will definitely command attention wherever you put it.

The colours have been meticulously blended

to create vibrant tones that jump off the paper.

Keep in mind this has several sharp creases,

as well as other rough spots, including a tear on the left side.

All this has been done to add to the character of the piece.

As you can also see from the above image,

the painting is initialed and dated at the lower left corner.
