Mix it Monthly - July Theme

Beach - inspired colors and themes:

blue - violet - sand

birds

wood

and a favorite song- "You can go your own way..."

Here is my entry so far (work in progress???)

I painted this bird on a piece of left over wood (2x4,5x30 cm) with my dry pastels and some water. I quite like the effect, but am not sure if it is finished... :-)
The photos are not the best, sorry for that, but the size and form makes it a bit difficult to take good photos.







Thank you Conny for the Mix it Monthly challenge! I think you really have some great and inspirational ideas for us to play with!
I'm looking forward to new challenges!

    2. You don't to need hear anybody else, You know it Yourself inside You that You are artist. And You are artist I can see it. Sometimes all people in artexipition don't understand all artworks, but works still are art and You don't need to think their idea, only art inside You is important.
      I am very glad I found Your blog :-)

  4. Das ist wunderrschön, liebe Ilona ♥ Deine Idee auf ein Holz diesen kleinen Vogel zu malen. Es ist, glaube ich, das Format, das mich so fasziniert. Liebe Grüße zu Dir und schöne Somertage !

  6. Wow-- Ilona das ist super gelungen.. ich hab vor längerem so ein ähnliches Format auf Holz probiert und hab es mit Papieren beklebt und ehrlich ---es wurde einfach nicht fertig und steht seit Monaten als Ufo herum...

    Respekt- das ist eine besonders schöne Umsetzung des Moantsthemas!
    Klasse!

    1. Thank you Jo! I'm not quite sure what I will do with it. Maybe I will make a series of it, as I have some more wood pieces of this size.

  8. It's an amazing work. I love the subtle way the pastel works with the wood grain. I also enjoyed looking at the wide range of work in your last post about your exhibit. I have no doubt that you are an artist, but I think self-doubt is not necessarily a bad thing. It keeps us humble and our work fresh. There is so much freshness and insight in your work. Keep sharing and showing and enjoy your new phase!

  9. This is so amazing. You are very inventive. I am really pleased to tell you that you are one of winners from last week's draw for 2 postcards. So if you would like to chose two from my postcard page and leave a comment on which two you would like, I will get them into the post for you.(I have your address still) If you look tomorrow you will have a wider choice as later today I will be adding some new ones!
