Why I paint what I paint...

Like I told you in my last post then I have been unable to paint for few weeks... had to have my leg strait and did not fit in to my studio like that, sitting in a wheel chair.

But yesterday I was able to sit for a while with my leg down so I did a little painting.
As you might know Im taking Mystele´s class Gut Art. At first I was completely lost did not know what to do but after a little help from a friend I begun to understand.

I did make a background, using Acryl, stamps, graphite, stencils, ink spray, ink, and water. I did make lines, round shapes, zikzak lines and just anything I could think of.

When dried I did turn my paper around many times trying to find out what was hiding in my background. And after a moment I had found some interesting things.

I did make the lines darker and you can see what I saw.


After I had found out what would be in my painting I did start with a white paint and then a black paint. Adding a little paint here and there.


Now I did also find a little bird in the ladies dress..


I was not to happy with  my painting, It needed a litttle more colors and I had to fix the lettering in her face.


So I did a little more painting and I start using my oil pastels that I have never used before.


So now Im done, like it a lot better like this. What do you think?

Please leave me a comment, It would make me happy :)

Have a beautiful day

Namaste

Inspired by India, inspired by Pinterest


The class for last week in the Soul Food class was to find a board on Pinterest and make a painting inspired by the photo you pinned from Pinterest. 
As Im in love with India and have been for 25 years I did choose to use photos I have already in one of my boards in Pinterest, My India.


I had to add the OM symbol to my painting so I did choose to add it to the mans bag. 
I love this symbol.
 Om Aum (or OM) is a mantra, or vibration, that is traditionally chanted at the beginning and end of yoga sessions. It is made up of three Sanskrit letters, aa, au and ma which, when combined together, make the sound Aum or Om. It is believed to be the basic sound of the world and to contain all other sounds.  It is said to be the sound of the universe. 


I love the colors of India, love this photo and wanted to use blue color to the door in my painting.


This photo is amazing, good job from the photographer. Look at all this colors, almost like the color wheel.


And finally I had to add this lady, carrying her water on her head, maybe a long way. 
Made me think how good my life is, so many things to be grateful for.

Have a beautiful weekend

Namaste
