As you can see, Xinmo Li's this series of painting is a kind of mix media art works. She added different colors and patterns of laces on the top of the original painting to make a strong visual contrast.
Considering she is a Chinese artist, in her paintings, we could see, she used the western oil paint skills to represent Asian lady's face, I have to say, she did an amazing job.
As an audience of her painting, I deeply feel the ladies in her painting all have a kind of Melancholy eyes. I wonder what they think about at the moment? Or they confused about life? Or they in a complicated relationship? Or they miss home?
For this point, I think her arts are successful, because they make me thinking. Especially the laces, it gives all the ladies a sense of mystery.
I got the inspiration from Li and create this two images. However, when I added the laces on the top of my stitching piece, I didn't physically added it on. I try to use shadow and also use the lace to cover the camera. So, you can see, the image still has the lace's pattern on it, but it's blurry. Then the image's main project which is the stitching won't be effected by lace.
However, it just a little experiment and unfinished yet, we will see how it goes by the end.
