Silhouette Art

Introducing my next project; 'Silhouette Art' by Ruth.
It's a quick look at a series of children and teenage wall art that I'm working on. The series will depict kids hobbies and interests in silhouette form...for your little girl who loves ballet...your sister who always has her head stuck in a book...your son who lives for his footie...your gorgeous niece who loves to ride her favourite pony...your little nephew who loves his dog and that son of yours who's always glued to his computer!
So keep watching!

Keep watching for No.2...all suggestions welcome! Little Ballerina by Ruth Kelly Acrylic on box canvas. Little Ballerina by Ruth Kelly
