Description
“Sweet 16” is a vibrant 12×9″ mixed media painting that bursts with energy and emotion. Created using a rich combination of collage, acrylic, Stabilo Woodies, and oil pastels. The artwork is protected with Liquitex satin varnish.
It is expressive with dynamic strokes and vivid textures.
Set on premium Canson Oil & Acrylic paper, the piece is mounted to a cradled birch wood panel for a sleek, hang-ready presentation. The custom-painted sides complement the artwork, enhancing its depth and color harmony—no framing required.
Blooming florals in a luminous vase, “Sweet 16” celebrates youthful joy and creative spontaneity. It’s an eye-catching piece perfect for collectors who appreciate bold, contemporary expressionism with a touch of whimsy.
Ideal for modern interiors, eclectic spaces, or art lovers looking for a one-of-a-kind statement piece. Artist signed on the front and back.
I include this in my ongoing series: A Piece Of Cake, which are quick playful paintings on easy to ship substrate at an affordable price.
