Gloria J Zucaro's "Going Up"

Good Morning!  It has been forever since I have posted.  I got overwhelmed by family changes, construction, illness and death.  In other words..."LIFE!"  All is more sane now, so I have posted to the site called Paint My Photo where you can find all sorts of free photographs to use in your artwork.
I used one of the photographers photos for my abstract acrylic collage piece called "Going Up?"  I was thinking of old time elevators where an attendant was the one in control of the workings of the elevator in fancy hotels and residences.
I will be posting to Paint Party Friday, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest.   I took Joan Fullerton workshop last weekend and assembled my piece during her class.  What fun! Have a wonderful week,
                                                                 Gloria

    Gloria I love your painting. All the pretty patterns behind against the geometric starkness works well.
    Happy PPF ♥♥

    great work with beautiful colours Gloria,
    I'm glad to see you back and having time to be creative once again.
    We've had a tough October with 'life' issues, but I too hope that we can settle down now.
    Happy PPF to you and I hope you have a wonderful weekend :D

    Gloria, how beautiful your "going up" is! I love the colors and the sense of height in this. I remember the elevator boys, who were usually middle aged men. Not many who read your post will even know what that means!

      I know! LOL! Showing my age, but it was always fun to be taken care of by the elevator man! Have a wonderful week. Happy PPF.

      hello, so good to get in touch again with all my PPF friends. Yes, you are right, dividing this up into cards, or shrinking it down would be great. I also think I will straighten some of the lines.

    So nice to see you back Gloria. I am sorry for the sorrow, as you said, it is life. I have to say that your art piece is powerful. It is deep with emotion and the bold black shows strength. That is what see anyway. Have great weekend.

      Thank you, Nicole. Abstract is so foreign to me, as I am always thinking, "what is this about?" So letting go for a time was very freeing.
