a portrait named sage

Just for fun, I decided to enter an art contest in June. It was the June art dare from artprof.org; a website ran by an art professor at RISD. The prompt was too crazy not to attempt. It was to create a piece incorporating mushrooms, pineapples, a sabertooth tiger, and piranhas.

To my surprise, I received honorable mention.
My painting is featured on the website, https://artprof.org/art-dares/2018-june/. I'm super proud of this piece, and I'm happy with how it came out. 

my explanation of the piece:
“When I read the prompt for the June Art Dare, I immediately thought of doing a portrait and incorporating the objects as jewelry. I am very into fashion and jewelry design, which led to the piranha earrings, and the saber tooth tiger and mushroom rings. 
The pineapple background was influenced by motel wallpaper, which I find tastefully kitsch. The mustard head wrap was added for a pop of contrasting color, which I believed tied the piece together. The piece is named Sage for no particular reason other than I feel her name would be Sage.”

    Wow! That is so amazing and I think it's unbelievable that you added all of those details as rings. I only noticed the pineapples! I guess I'm not much of an artist! :)
