Two exhibition opening at the same day :I

One day I did start a painting, a big one 80x80

it was going to an exhibition.

It started like this...

Adding layer b y layer of a bright an  beautiful layers..

Suddenly there were 3 birds there...

With a doodle here and there.... I came as far as this..

And suddenly there was a girl with a bird... yes I did paint over my birds..

She was good looking, with a bird on her shoulder, small wings and a beautiful quote in her hair that says.. Nothing can dim the light that comes from within.. (Maya Angelou)

And this is how my painting ended... with a bronze background... 

A little different from the start

But tats how I paint... 

The other exhibition was an outdoor exhibition for one evening, painting on a thick cloth.. 

Much fun making, loved this event.. 

Have a beautiful weekend

Im learning from Kelly Rae Roberts....

My newest class is the one with Kelly Rae Roberts.

Hello soul, hello mixed media mantras.

Im in love with her art, she is the best in layers, I think.

I love the way she build up her paintings, layer by layer

and her choose of color is so fantastic.

As she says then she loves the white and use it a lot to blend other colors with.

It all starts with paint building up layers of colors, warm colors, cold colors and all the other colors and sprays, stencils and stamps, layer by layer. 

There are so many small details in her paintings and I tried to do my best by 

finding small things that would fit in my painting.

I worked on my first one for a long time, was not happy, 

to crowded and something was wrong.

So I did a little changes here and there and now Im almost done, 

going to work a little more with the lettering in the bottom.

I started working on my second background. Did a good start.

Love this one, reminds me of the summertime. 

Not going to work more on this one.

This one is on my desk now.

Im a little afraid with this one, dont know what to do next. 

Have not glued down the butterfly jet, not sure if I use it. 

Love the colors in this one, they are not my favorite but I like them.

That is my life today....

Trying to learn from the best...

Hoping that one day I find my style using all the tricks 

from all the wonderful teachers I have been learning from the past two years.

Have a beautiful day, all of you

Hello Soul

Soul Food

This week I did find a time to finish two project for my Soul Food class.

The first one was taught by Grace Howes and it was to make a cake with collage.

 I did only paint my cake and Im happy with my cake. 

Beautiful bright colors :)

The other project I did finish was taught by Jeanette House.

It was fun to make. After finishing I found out it should be about sunset... 

Im always making some mistakes by not listening good enough to the teacher :(

But thats ok, Im happy with my upside down sunset, love Kristin Powers feather stamp.

Hoping you all are having a great weekend with a lot of creating time :)

My Owl

Last weeks class at the Life Book was with Juliette Crane, How to paint whimsy animals. I did want to make an Owl and I did this little cute thing. But I did a mistake, I made her with a sleeves but not a wings so this is a Owl with sleeves surrounded with flying flowers, I must have been thinking of girl when I painted her and I was to tired efter my New York days. 

I think she is cute.

Going to practice more on whimsy animals.

Happy PPF to all of you..
