Hearts and Ovals for Christmas
Thankyou for your lovely comments on my previous post, they are very much appreciated and I love to read each one. :) If you've been to visit my shop lately you might have noticed that my artwork has taken a little turn recently towards the festive season! The idea for these designs started with a sketch I made in my sketchbook and I discovered how much I enjoyed making the effect of brightly coloured patterns and colours in contrast to a black background. It really makes the colours pop. Here it is below.. I've been wanting to paint onto wooden shapes for ages so I took the plunge and bought some little hearts and ovals made of plain plywood. The painting began! I loved how the paper sheet on my table became covered in heart shapes as I painted the base coats in black. :) I made up the designs as I went along, working on several at a time to let the layers dry. Each one is different. And here we are with the finished pieces!...
