Birds

I love to paint birds.

I did one bird painting in November 2017.

It was a very colorful painting 

with a lot of birds.

I really liked that painting.

It was sold in an exhibition in September 2017.

What do you think, I love them.

Have a wonderful day

Exibition

My painting on a church exhibition. 

The theme was the Easter and I painted my visions of the resurrection.

That one is a big one. 100x150 cm.

I love to paint big.

Tell me what you think.

Have a nice day.

Now, this is my first blog for a long, long time.

I hope I can add in here everything arty I have been doing since I wrote the last blog post.

In September 2017 I painted a few fish paintings.

I started to paint a black background and then used white chalk to draw.

After painting, I washed the paintings a few times and then it was time to doddle.

I was very happy with the results.

So what do you think?

Thank you for visiting my blog and don't feel shy to leave a comment.

Have a nice day

This summer I have been painting and painting... :)

I don't know where to start..

In May I went to Norway to take a class from Jenny Grant.

There I was over a weekend painting with my friends from Tracye Verdugo class two years in Sweden and of course some new friends. 

We had a wonderful weekend in beautiful weather, painting, eating, drinking and painting more.

The local in Fredriksberg was great

Jenny Grant is a fabulous teacher.

Beautiful Fredrikstad

Background

Start drawing

With my dear friends Mette from Norway and Valerie from France

We had such a great time, I love taking workshops.

I'll write a new post very soon, the summer is almost finished.

Hope you had a great one

New painting..

This weekend was a painting weekend.

I had started this one few days ago but then lost the interest and kept it standing in my studio.

On Friday I did start again and didn't quit until finished..

And Im so happy with it.

Think this little dog is amazing, he is so much looking at me asking me to come and play just like my dog does all the time :)

Have a great week

After taking my second class from Alison O'Donoghue

I have taken two classes from Alison O'Donoghue

I love the way she paint and wanted to learn from her

The first class was Birds on birds and I really loved that one. 

If you scroll down you can see more of the painting I did paint in and after her class..

The second was Bottles, bananas and beyond... Interesting name and interesting class.

I cant wait for her to come with her third class, I hope she will do so that I can learn more from her.

Here are the paintings I made in and after her class..

Different from my paintings with a lot of colours but I love them.

What do you think?

Have a week filled with joy.

I did paint a painting that I was happy with :)

I had to give last Life Book class another try, not happy with the first one I made.

So I started making background with my ink.

Then it was to draw a Mandala, that was easy as I love Mandala making.

After the Mandala was ready painted I did start with the girl holding the Mandala.

Then it was to paint and use some pens for the outline. Some ink here and there.

Litle paint here and there, some more lines and little paint on the Mandala.

Dont you think she is ok? I think so, happy with the colours and happy with the Mandala. The face is ok but the hands are still to small.. Have to practice on hands :)

Have a great Sunday

Having fun painting/journaling :)

I really enjoyed Roxanne Coble lesson. 

The 3 item I worked with wa..

* Art ending in the colour wheel.

*India, I love India, the colour of India, 

the textile and all the wonderful Pattern. 

*The last one is Travelling. I love to travel,

 I love travelling to countries where I can enjoy the Sun. 

Maybe that is because I live in Ice cold Iceland....

I borrowed a computer so now I can make a new post :)

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 :)
