"When one jumps over the edge, one is bound to land somewhere."
- D. H. Lawrence
This week's topic at Illustration Friday is EDGE.
I haven't quite decided if she is waving happily as she prepares for her leap off the edge or if she is giving the "talk to the hand" gesture to those behind her who are trying to talk her back from the edge. What do you think?
Used some new Mister Huey's spray with a stencil on the background. The usual suspects of Washi tape, acrylic paint, Sharpie paint pen made their appearance but the oil pastels are a new addition to the art journal.
Colors used are courtesy of the current Play Date Cafe Challenge.
Linking to Sunday Sketches.

Love that quote! Fab work as always. X
Beautiful color contrast and subtle patterns added with spray paint. Yes, I can totally see her waiving goodbye OR giving the talk-to-the-hand gesture! :) That's delightful that it can be read either way. And either way you read it, there is no denying that her posture is very confident--she approaches that edge with great self-awareness (so it seems to me). Beautiful illustration. :)
Cheers
I think it's 'talk to the hand'... it's not a big drop. She's cool, she knows what she's doing. She's a girl that likes to take risks because it's often the only way to move forward.
:)
love your picture and the quote!

Welcome to SS, Michelle! I just love your painting. Love the colors and your style. :)
i think she is listening to madonna's "Vogue". she is striking a pose, there's nothing to it!
i tried to join. never heard from them..... anyhoo great art!
She seems to be pushing the past behind her and moving toward the unknown and exciting future! Well, to me she seems that way. LOVE LOVE the quote and the bright beautiful colors. :)
too funny... my first thought was how your girl was giving us the "talk to the hand, baby! i'm JUMPING this sucker!!" It's the cocked head. :-) And then i read your words & literally LOL'd. We are SO friggin' alike!! LOL. Your artwork is so much fun. i love how you add textures to it. Beautiful. xox
Looks like "talk to the hand" to me! She is wonderfully expressive. I hope the landing is soft!
I really like this and the quote too. Great job!!!
