~12 x 24″, acrylic and pierced paper on wood panel

A few months back I created a pierced paper piece based on a story I heard regarding the relationship between the moon’s cycle and eggs hatching. I liked the piece, but the paper was a dull, brownish-grey and it always seemed a bit drab. I decided I’d add some acrylic paint and turn it into something I was more excited about. This not-at-all drab piece is the result. I haven’t determined if I am going to keep the central pierced paper as-is or add a bit of blue, but overall I’m happy with it.
