Desperately Seeking Green Art

I didn't have far to look. In lieu of posting my own art... this is a very special entry. This clipboard features Obama, in hopeful montage. Obama and his mother, Stanley Ann, inspired Kris Jacobs. The Star of Bethlehem, just above the word 'hope' symbolizes that very word. HOPE! Isn't the image of Obama as Abe Lincoln in a top hat fab? This piece includes S. Ann, for her courage, vision and for giving birth to her son. Her picture is located on the clipboard front at left. Thank you, thank you, S. Anne!

Kris' talent involves a time-honored process - using foundation, beautiful prints and the glue that merges it into a decoupage piece. Assembly of things old and new, is "Green Art", if you will. Though I know how to cut paper and have a keen eye for patterns and design, she outshines with this medium. L'arte del uomo povero, a.k.a. poor man's art, goes as far back as the 16th century. Artists began creating with whatever was on hand to give the illusion of luxury. Achievable grandeur without breaking the bank. And today it also helps keep things out of landfills. Bravo! See http://www.johnderian.com/index_decoupage.html for more inspiration. No expensive tools are required, just creativity and expression. The possibilities are endless. Bella, bella, Kris - or should I say, "magnifique"?
