Im painting and painting...

Im enjoying the summer, having all the day just for me and my paint.

Three more weeks and then Ill start working again.

I took a little class last week, Birds on Birds taught by Alison O´Donoghue.

I love the new method I learned there and have been mixing it with my art in my new paintings which I cant show you yet as they are going to be on an exhibition. Ill tell you all about later. 

But I can show you the one I did practising..

This one is the first one I made, finished and signed :)

That one is my second one and already in frame :)

The third and last one is painted on Camembert cheese wooden box. I love this one round and funny. 

I love this method and soon i can show you how I have used in my art with my beautiful lovely ladies :)

Have a great day

Painting over one more time :)

I had an old and ugly painting, very dark colors and just not to look at..

So I got my gesso and painted over with my gesso..

Now I had a white canvas

Now it was time to start painting, first with yellow and orange,

 then red, turning the canvas all the time..

then it was the blue and green.

And when dry I started drawing

I did draw a girl, a girl with a bird..

Not new for me, it is always a girl and a bird..

Now it was time to bring some color to the face and to the bird..

Here she was almost done..

And here she is, beautiful and bright.

The size is 40x100

Acryl on canvas

Love this painting

Have a beautiful day

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..

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.

Soul Food

I did start in a new class Desember 30th. 

The class is Soul Food, hosted by Mystele one of my favorit girl.

Together with her in the team are Heather Santos and Janette House.

The class is for 6 months and there are tvo or three lessons every week.

I did make my first lesson, but I did not follow the rules... 

I did forget my self playing with my paint.

First I did turn my paper landskape and then I did two girla instead of one 

and the little boy was there and did not want to leave.

I tryed to paint over him but he was still there.

So I had to allow him to stay.

Im going to make another one trying to follow rhe rules. 

Ill post a photo as soon as it is ready.

Have a great day.

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.
