    The Yoga Series


    2015 - 01.10

    The time has FINALLY come!!

    I am so very excited to release my newest series: The Yoga Series!

    I have been working on these since early September 2014, and I love how they turned out!

    Using only palette knives, the yoga painting series contains 3 inverted yoga poses: 1) Eka Pada Viparita Dandasana  or One-Legged Inverted Staff Pose 2) Sayanasa with scorpion variation and 3)  Handstand or Adho Mukha Vrksasana with Stag Legs variation

    The 3 yoga paintings are all done in acrylic paint, mixed with a flexible modeling paste to give the thick rich texture, and they are all 30″ x 40″ on a 1.5″ thick gallery wrapped canvas.

    I hope you all enjoy!!Yoga Painting Series
