Im painting and painting and painting......

After being inspired by Mystele in her Gut Art class I have been painting and painting.

I always get so inspired by her, love the way she paints.

I loved to make these three, so Im making three more :)

They are small or 12x18 cm and Im going to get them framed.

Im going to make some more and then find a small place to have a little exhibition..

I love to see small paintings on a small wall in a cosy coffee house...

Let me know if you know about some place :)

Have a beautiful sunday

Namaste..

Two new paintings from the Soul Food class :)

Trying to catch up with my Soul Food class..

Soul Food. Week 34. Teacher Patti Ballard.

I did like this lesson a lot but Im not happy with my girl... She was supposed to have her eyes closed and a small mouth but I did not like her that way so I opened her eyes and made her mouth bigger but I still think the mouth is to little..... 

But I love the flowers, her dress and the background.

Soul Food week 32. Teacher Mitsi..

I allways love to see Mitsi´s classes. Love the way she creates with out rules and does not make any mistakes... 

I think this one is going to one of my favorite... there is something about this one...

On my desk is one Im working on and the teacher is my favorite girl Mystele.

Have a great weekend

Namaste

I love to paint..

I absolutely love this one.

Love the colors, orange and blue together are great.

I did start this one at work, my students were painting and I try to paint with them when I can, hoping they will be inspired by me.

Last week I bought these little bird stencils, think they look cute.

Hoping you all are having a great day.

Namaste

Merry Christmas to all of you and a happy new year.

First of all I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

After blogging only for two year and having over 25.000 visitors is unbelievable for me. Im so happy for every visit I get, so thank you all.

I have been doing just a little painting lately. 

I painted a serie of angels.

They are small paintings, 10x10 and I love them.

This time they all have butterfly wings and a pink dress.

My blue angel is from a painting with two angels but I had only finished one of them so next week I can show you the whole painting.

Have a wonderful week all of you and a happy PPF.

My painting makes me a little sad..

I was asked to paint a painting. 

A girl, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a teacher, a beautiful person died, she was young, to young to die.

From the moment I was asked I knew how I wanted my painting to look like but was not sure that the people who asked me would like a painting like that.

 The day before I had made sketches of few paintings and the first one was the one I wanted to paint.

I don´t paint for people, I paint for myself, hoping someone else is going to like my painting and if they buy, I´m very happy.

I did start.

And I did paint.

I did not stand up for 5 hours, I wanted to finish my work, so I would have time to make another one, very different, If they did not like my painting.

I worked two more hours in the evening and then the painting was ready.

I was very happy with my work and I so hoped they would like my painting.

They did, they loved my painting.

They gave it away to the girls coworkers.

They loved my painting to.

Hope you like my painting too.

Happy PPF and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

Namaste.

It is friday again..

Last weeks I have made these 3, love each and everyone of them.

they are painted with acryl on canvas.

As you know then Im taking classes all the time and in these paintings I can see the technic I have learned from few of my classes and I love to see how I mix all of them together to make my own style.

I love little birds so I had to have birds in my painting. It is always the same type of bird but with a different decorations.

I have one more canvas like these so Im going to make one more, have already made the sketch for it.

My paper maché lady is not ready yet. I have brought her home so I have her on my desk and se is ready to get her face done.

Now I have diary for year 2014 ready for sale as well as I have sketchbooks and notebooks.

when Im not painting Im knitting or crocheting. This time Im making some squares for 

´Lily´ - love in the language of yarn. 

A beautiful project for the children in Syria. 

  

I bought me a new book, it just arrived but it is a beautiful book from Mindy Murphy Lacefield, I highly recommend it if you love to look at others art, she also shows us the way she creates her girls. 

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend and happy PPF to you :)

A new painting from the Life Book, week 33.

This week we had Mindy Lacefield as a teacher at the Life Book.

I love her style and it looked so easy when she was painting but I had to struggle for hours until I was happy with mine. 

It was as always layers by layers and it was meant to be childish painting.

It looks like she is lost in the big city, trying to find someone to carry her heart with her :)

Have a wonderful weekend all of you and a happy PPF to all of you.

I did take a class with Mystele my favorite girl..

As I was looking through my groups I found a wonderful class with Mystele and it was a free one.. not bad..

The class was about how to use Chalk Pastel ... with Gesso.

First I tried to make one but it was not working so I did try again.

After talking to Mystele I started slowly, using a good brush trying to avoid 

making a mess.

And it worked...

Im happy with the one I made and I have started on another painting using the same method.

This one is almost done..... I have to work a little more on the colors..

For me it is difficult to make a lady with small or tiny hands or a big head, 

Im always trying to play with my paintings.... 

Tell me what you think...

Have a beautiful day all of you and a happy PPF to all of you :)

29 faces in September

My face nr. 1 in 29 faces.

Im taking a part in a new project, called 29 faces. In September we have to paint and post 29 faces. How much fun is that going to be. I did start making my first one today and I have 3 more to make so I wont be behind.... Love project like this.. 
This is my first face, almost done, want to add a little more color to her clothing..

Postcard swap... New York and more....

Last week I was on a trip to New York with my family. We stayed in Long Island for two nights with a family and then in Manhattan for two nights. 

We did have a very nice time both with the family and then in the city.

Just before we vent I made these postcards for a postcard swap I was taking part in.

Im always late posting here but someone has to be the last one...

I went to Michaels in Staten Island and bought a little art stuff, they did not have Golden gel so I have to get it later but I bought so cheep stamps, one dollar each some of them, here in Iceland I have to pay dollars 20 or more for each. 

I did not find it easy to find magazine from Stampington but I found two Somerset Studio and one Cloth, Paper, Scissors. I was going to buy Journaling but I have to order it as I did not find one.

Happy last PPF friday...

Hope that Ill be on time next time..

When I wake up I think of you...

I think this one is going to be my last Lovely Lady, I dont know how many I have made but I think they are about 30.. It is about time to start doing something else..

This one is the quiet one, dosent say much but does think more. She is young and she is in love. I think she is beautiful...

But maybe I cant stop and start a new one tomorrow and make them 40.. who knows..

Today is a beautiful day, the sun is shining and the weather is great.. think Im going to go for an Ice cream.... 

Happy PPF to all of you and have a nice weekend.
