Mona Lisa

I painted wildlife pictures for several years. Oil was my medium of choice. I enjoyed this for approximately five years and then I began to notice every time I painted my throat was raspy and my eyes watered and then the sneezing and coughing started. So, I packed away my brushes, oil paints and canvases. I must admit when I saw this cute image from THE PAPER SHELTER I really thought about digging them out again. But, I think I can challenge myself with Copics. I love this pretty paper and it made me think of something this artist might paint! I added liquid glass and some dots of Stickles for a bit of sparkle. A pretty little sheer ribbon and bow finished off my card (this is my stash item as it came from my moms craft room 15 years ago. 

I am entering this card at the following challenges:

My Song: (Nat King Cole)

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

Men have named you

You're so like the lady with the mystic smile

Is it only cause you're lonely

They have blamed you

For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa

Or is this your way to hide a broken heart

Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep

They just lie there, and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa

Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art
