New painting..

I did star working on this one when I took a workshop in Norway in May.

The teacher was Jenny Grant.

I had a wonderful time, painting for 3 days with wonderful friends both old and new.

Can't wait for the next workshop we take together.

Jenny the teacher is an angel, I became her friend in some online FB group and then I took her class in LB and then she was the host for Tracys class in Sweden two years ago.

And here is another one, this one is old, always trying to finish with this one but never happy, think Ill collage over her and start all over again.

Have a great day all of you :)

Finally I can write a litle post.

My computer broke down so I have been unable to write and add photos to my blog.

Today I have a computer so Im going to write a little.

Last time I wrote about my Mandala project.

Making one Mandala every day for 100 days.

I was about to give up when I had make 10 but I always made one more and one more and today Im making Mandala nr. 66 I think.. on the 66th day from new years day..

I love making Mandala, I love to draw and I love to paint Mandala. 

Now I have made few on canvas and I think they all look beautiful.

Those two paintings I made for an exhibition started today in Reykjavík. I think we are about 40 having painting there together. All very different.

I did not go for the opening, was busy at home painting. 

Ill go some day. 

I love to paint big. I thought I was finished with this one ready in frame but I saw a have forgotten to paint the nose for animal.... Have to try to make a nose without spoiling the painting :)

I did a little mixed media.....

My Blog Hop, the second week.

A new Blog Hop is here and now the theme is face..

I have been doing a lot of faces, all kind of faces so I thought it would be easy to make one for this blog hop.. but Im totally not happy with my face today, maybe I was in to much hurry as I was traveling this weekend.

But this is what you get this time, will try to make my next face nicer.

I know you love to see the process so I had my Ipad with me and tried to take a photo here and there so you could follow me.

I did start with the help lines.

So far I loved my drawing, the face looked so nice and I loved her long neck..

so easy to make a face if you have the helplines :)

I did start painting with Neocolors and at this step still love my painting, wish I had stopped there but I did continue..

Now I have added some Acryl paint and collage paper and now I think she has started looking bad. I did have to remove the collage paper as I did not let it dry and made a hole in it.. I always find it hard to wait while my paintings are drying.

I wanted to make a Mandala for the background but it was not so easy should have started with the Mandala. Here I have removed the collage paper.

At this point I just wanted to finish my painting so I did add some lines and a little doodle here and there..

Her she is, my face for this Blog Hop. 

I don´t ask for much but I hope that you like to see the process.

As last time there is a list of my fellow Blog Hoppers, please visit their blog and leave a comment for  a change to win a giveaway but don´t forget to leave a comment for me and you might be the lucky winner and get something nice from me :)

Have a great week

Im back to My Lovely Ladies

I have not made a Lovely Lady for a long time.

Yesterday I thought I should  try to make one or two.

I did start with the first layer, paper. Then it was a little paint and stencils.

Now I had to wait till it was dried.

So this morning I did start drawing and painting.

Im very happy with the results, think they are perfect.

Love the colors and love their look.

Hope that you like them.

I might make one more but first I have to finish 4 dolls I'm making, 

they are little different from my other dolls. 

You have to wait to see how they are different. Ill post a photo soon.

Have a beautiful week.

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

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

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.

From my Paper Maché class

 Im taking a paper maché class here at home. I go there once in a week for three hours.

Our first assignment was to make a lady. That was not hard for me, Im used to making or painting ladies.

We did start making shoulders, then we made the head. I had to make mine with a long neck.

The hair was made with silk paper but the body with newspapers. I made her a neckless, that I made with wire and silk paper.

I made a beautiful dress for her with collage paper I have and started working with her face by adding white silk paper.

Before I had to add a wings to all my ladies but now Im not finished with out making a bird.

I love this long legged bird whispering some secret in her ear.

Now it was time to start painting. I took her home, I wanted to be in my studio, having my things around me to get the feeling for her face.

And she is done, what do you think? 

I might add some colored flowers to her hair, but just a little dots here and there.

In the next class I made this one. LOVE him...

Have a beautiful week and a happy PPF (S) Im always so late posting ...
