Paint Paint Everywhere!

-

I realised this morning that while I'm painting, the paint splatters have covered, yes covered the keyboard of my computer. I should have taken a photo of my laptop to show you the disgrace!
With lots of spraying of cleaning fluid and scraping, I managed to get it off. All I have to do now is to remember to move it away from me while I'm throwing paint around!

The very top picture is a little bit misleading because I've actually been working on my table rather than with the easel.

This is where it usually is...
The laptop lives just to the left of where I have the painting, (just out of camera shot.)

Right in the line of fire!





I'm still in the process of painting that one and this one above. This one is almost finished but I need to decide whether to do more to the tree in the foreground. Whaddayathink?

Here are two finished ones...






Scraping, splattering and runny paint.

My laptop is now shiny and clean,

now the floor and walls...that's another thing!

He, he, he, I get paint everywhere when I paint too. In fact last night I looked in the mirror as I was getting ready for bed only to find black paint all over my face. 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...
