To paint is my life....

Today I painted this beauty. 

This is my blue painting. Love painting with one ore two colors.

First the lady was holding a baby in blanket.

The blanket turned out to be a swan and then a bird made him a nest on the ladies head....

 Love this one with a great background made of an old phone book.

Have a wonderful day

Just a few words..

Now it is Christmas time so Im framing some paintings I might give away to someone I love.

Last week I did a little doodling, I love to doodle, find it so relaxing. 

So happy with my Mandala.

Before I made this little lady out of paper clay. And I had to make something out of her so I did paint her a dress and make her legs. To morrow Im going to paint her shoes and hang her to one of my walls to enjoy looking at her :)

Have a beautiful day

Painting my clay

Today I decided to paint My Lovely Lady witch I made of clay two years ago.

Here you can see picture from start to end.

That´s how she looked

I did start with black color, little scary..

Fully covered with black color

Then it was to bring some color to her

She got a brown hair and a turquoise dress, same color as her bird

Then she did get some makeup and a little decoration to her dress..

More decoration both to her dress and her bird with his beautiful crown

I was not happy with a white wing on the bird

In the end I did add some charcoal to get some shades.

Now she is done..

So what do you think..

I would love you to leave me a message

Have a great weekend

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

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.

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

My doll is done and a wonderful girl bought two prints from my Etsy shop :) :)

It does not happen often but it did happen now....

Im sick, having a flue.

I hate being sick and not able to go to work, especial now when we, all the teachers and the staff are having a friend week at work and Im missing everything.... Im sad :(

This week I did sell two prints from my Etsy shop. It made me so happy because I have not been very active there, always forgetting to add new things out there. 

But now Im going to add new items in there as soon as I have made them :)

It would make me very happy if you would take a visit one day, just to see what I have there and maybe share my shop with your friends.

After sewing my doll, filling her up and adding the clay I painted her black, I found it a little strange but after adding other colors I saw how cool it looked. 

Here you can see how se look, kind of like her face but Im going to make a new skirt, think it will look better if I make her wear skirt in bright colors.

If you missed my last post you can see it now because there Im showing the process of making the doll.

My ETSY shop

Have a wonderful weekend where ever you are and a happy PPF

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 ...
