"Girls With WORDS" is an original acrylic painting from my WORDS series. Two children are captured mid-motion, hula hooping against a vibrant, abstract background layered with expressive brushstrokes and subtle textures. The words “girls” and “words” emerge from the surface, hinting at deeper meaning. Bright colors and playful figures create a sense of joy, movement, and quiet mystery, inviting the viewer to look—and feel—a little closer.
This piece explores how the words we speak, especially to ourselves, shape our reality. I often think about how we talk to one another—and what that says about how we talk to ourselves. If the words leaving our mouths aren't kind, the ones echoing in our heads are likely even harsher. Girls With WORDS is a reflection of that internal conversation, and how much it matters—especially for young girls learning how to take up space in the world.

About Original Artwork
Paint Media
Denise paints with archival quality acrylic paints including Golden Acrylic Paints and mediums as well as Nova Paints. There can be mixed media here and there such as charcoal, colored pencil and waxed crayon.
Substrate
Denise paints on cradled hardboard and gessoed canvas. Pieces that are 24x36 inches or smaller, are painted on cradled hardboard 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches deep with paint finished edges matching the overall color scheme of the painting.
Larger pieces on canvas are painted while tacked to a large hardboard frame. This way I can still sand away as much as I want with a hard surface backing the painting.
The painting is then removed and reframed on stretcher bars for a more lightweight finished artwork which is easier to ship and easier to hang.
Finish
All artwork have been finished with a clear gloss or semi gloss water-based acrylic polymer varnish with Ultra Violet Light Stabilizers [UVLS] that protects interior acrylic paintings from dust and ultraviolet light.
In the event that you hang your painting in the dining room and it get splattered with spaghetti sauce (believe me this can happen), the painting can be wiped clean to bring it back to it's intended design.
