I´m taking a class from Community Thrive.

 The class is Festive Soul Food.

I´m one of the teachers but this paintings I made after Pia Roms lesson.

These are small, I did cut size A4 in to 4 pieces.

The background was covered with paper with pattern and then I tried to find angels in my background.

This time it was easy, they were there.

Have a great weekend

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.. 

Have a beautiful weekend

New paintings for Soul Food class hosted by Community Thrive

Lesson 7 in my Soul Food class was thought by Michelle Sylvia.

I really enjoyed her class where we worked a lot with the background.

I love working with backgrounds.

I used a lot of ink and my new Golden High Flow, I just love them.

First I made this girl, love how she turned out.

In her is written Follow your heart..

Then I made this one, she is different but I love her as well and the little bird sitting on her head.

In her hair is written She believed in kindness..

Have a great day

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.
