Bunny time..

Now my Soul Food classes are almost over. 

It has been an half year of creation, two classes every week.

New teachers and new assignments.

Some of the classes I have enjoyed more than others.

and then I start creating and can not stop until

 I have made few painting with the same Technic.

That happened when I took Micki Wilde class.

It was all about bunnies :)

First I made this lovely one with the little heart, love this one :)

Then my daughter did need a gift for her friend so I made another :)

After the second one I could not stop, wanted to make more, 

so I did this little one with her little friend the bird :)

And then I had to try one more and made this one with beautiful 

background which I made with my new Gelli Plate, what a fun.

The last two I made are half the size of the others, 

don't like them so much, don't think those two colors holds in hand. 

Have a great week

A painting, a doll and a surprice from my son...

How are you to day?

 I'm fine, going to have a day in my studio.. hoping to create something beautiful.

I have not been very active for some time. But I have done a little doodle here and there, like this little bird that is just a small part of a very big painting I'm working on. Ill post a photo of the whole masterpiece in June.

And I finished one more doll, my last one of this style....  now I'm going to make my own pattern... you have to wait and see how it will turn out... I'm not going to tell..

And in the end, my son did make a logo for a little park here in our home town. Yesterday we had a culture festival for children and then the Logo was shown for the first time.

My son is 17 years old and he did not tell me he was taking a part, only when they contacted him to ask him to come and receive his awards. 

Have a great 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

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.

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 :)

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..

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.
