It’s a beautiful day this Easter Sunday. The sun is shining brightly, and the birds are singing with joy. Mixed Media Monday asked us to go with an Easter theme for this challenge, but the sun has so been on my mind of late that all I could think to do for the challenge was a silk painting of an Aztec sun: joyful, benevolent and promising spring and rebirth. I know it’s a stretch, but I’m going with it.
Silk with Dye Na Flo paints and a water-based gold resist.

Here comes the sun
