Stone the Crows

My new painting which is now for sale in my etsy store

This was created on a canvas at first I glued old pages of a novel onto the canvas and then I painted my image over the top,using acrylic paints,permanent marker.I also gave the sides of the painting a checkerboard look by using red and white stripes.



Stone the crows is a slang term used here in australia I don't think it literallly means to stone crows its more like a softer way of using expleatives Like S....! and F....! when something or someone totally does something to suprise you and you yell out "Stone the Crows"!



The girl in the painting isn't anyone in particular she is just purely from my imagination but the wooly coat she is wearing is like one I used to have back in the 70's it was a full length lambswool coat with a big fluffy trim all the way round the neck and down the front,I wonder what ever happened to that coat?
