Screaming Flowers

-

Pages from my sketchbook with a little background tidying done in Photoshop.

Looking at the top one with fresh eyes today, it reminds me of the Scream painting by Munch.
That wasn't my intention! There's quite a contrast in mood between my two paintings though isn't there?!

The Scream by Edvard Munch



I'm starting some canvases today. Its been a really long time since I've worked with acrylic on canvas so there will inevitably be a few mistakes until I get back into it again.
Here I go!

Yes, I can see the similarity with Munch, but definiteley coming from a different place. As you know I have a print of one of your canvases so I'm dead glad you're starting that strand of your talents again.♥

I've always had a strong connection to 'The Scream'. Your work is a lot cheerier though and not as dark.

Yes, there is a different feeling in both your pieces. It is fun to see your scream next to Munch's scream.
I look forward to seeing you work in acrylics.

I can see the similarity, but your lady doesn't look no where near as distressed as Munch's poor figure.
I love your new header! I'm feeling a little like that today. ;)
Looking forward to seeing the canvases. I have an urge to work big too at the moment.
Have a great weekend x

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
