Joanie R rocks it!

My painting represents my family; my mother, sister and I. Above us is a cloud with an angel above it. The angel represents my grandmother, she recently passed away. We believe that she is now our guardian angel and she is looking over us.

To make my paint I found some dirt, the closest to red mud that I could find and mixed it with oil and a little water. Originally I made the paintbrush on the left. I made bristles out of grass and tied it together with a piece of grass. That paint brush did not work too well for me so I ended up using the brush on the right hand side of the painting.
