This started off as an old watercolour painting of mine that I'd given up on a while ago. For some reason I didn't want to throw it away. Today I added a few lines of dark sepia ink and gave it a new lease of life.
Don't you think some things just need to wait for the right time?
Gorgeous work..and yes..when totally divine we are called back to a piece to create a new energy with it! I love the striations of her hair..they almost make me think of the bark of a tree..and how she is closely connected to nature or attuning to it's healing nature...she feels like she wants to be set free in some way! Beautiful piece..stunning! Victoria
Thanks Renilde, you are right and very observant. :)
Thanks Bee, yes I agree, when you're in the middle of it all, it's difficult to see the woods for the tres!
Thanks Micki :)
Thanks Victoria, again you are very in tune with my painting!
Thanks Monica. :)
Thanks Bella, It's so difficult to keep things that you don't like though isn't it? Comparing them to the new work is a good boost though, that is, if the new work is better! ;o)
What a wonderful blog. Just going to make a cuppa and look through it. Thank you for that lovely comment - tip on the face book thing, my sister has let me use her profile to have a look through Jasper's on the promise that I wont read of comment on anything on hers!!
I definitely do think there is a right time for everything. The trick is knowing when it is. I love your painting and all of its details. I found myself looking at all of them in wonder. Your work is beautiful.
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
I thought this was quite an appropriate word for some of us this week with all this snow! It was very exciting at first to have everyone home on a school day but today they're back and I must say it's nice to have the space again to get on with my own things! I've given my Etsy shop a new lease of life and will be adding these 2 ACEO's later on this morning. I do like drawing birds!
I've finished the painting that I showed you in my last post. Above is a crop of it. Can you see the other bird on the right hand side? It looks as though that's the other bird's reflection doesn't it? As though he's looking in the mirror! Here's another close up crop of the same painting. I made lots of layers of lovely bright pinks, blues and golds and made some scratching zig-zag patterns while the paint was still wet. Here's the whole painting. It measures 40 x 40cm, (that's 16inches square). It's hanging on my kitchen wall at the moment but it will eventually be exhibited in the summer. I'll tell you all about that another day. :) I've put a gallery on my new website, CLICK HERE to see. If you'd like to leave a comment on the guestbook page that would be lovely! :) Bye for now, have a lovely weekend. :) The sun appears to have arrived at last! xx
