Painting on wood

I bought a few wooden decorations this week. They have natural colours and I wanted to paint on them and maybe abandon them. One of them went into my daughter's possession :-)

They are works in progress and here are some process photos of them:

I started this heart with doodling with my Indian ink pen.

Here is the other side:

After doodling I covered all of it with a layer of satin silver acrylic.

And finally I started colouring it with water colour.

The second piece is a butterfly, which I painted with acrylic first and then started painting the face of a young woman. 

Below a detail-shot of the face.

The last three pictures are showing slight changes in shading and colouring of the skin.

The other side of the butterfly shows a rabbit painted only with Payne's grey. The surrounding is painted green and the other half will end up half a butterfly again.

This was it for this week. Thank you for good wishes for the exam! It was an ok day. 

Hope you enjoyed the week-end!

Art for abandonment and exquisite corpse tryout

Dear you all! :-)

I had a very busy week and these coming days will be busy too, so it will take some time to get around to visiting the growing community at Paint Party Friday. Which just expands the joy and beauty in store for all of us.

Now to my art work. I have finished a few WIP's:

They are going to be abandoned, and two of them will be sent to the US, where Lauri Crowe has agreed to abandon some art for me. Hope it will make some people happy!

Now I come to my test of the Exquisite Corpse, I needed to find out, what the paper I intended to use, could take. So here is:

It looks a bit scary, but actually the faces express my mood at the moment. Shifting between panic, frustration and calmness and bliss. The rest was just playing around and getting inspired by my doodles and pictures and so on.

Hope you enjoyed my little (horror) picture show!

Please visit Paint Party Friday and the artists contributing to a fantastic on-line art show!

Tomorrow I am going to visit Manon Popjes Paper Saturday again and blog about my toilet roll art.

Have a wonderful week-end, enjoy your life. Focus on the people around you who really love you and if it is hard at the moment, find the beauty of life in nature, it will always be able to soothe your pain.

Sing a song

Thank you for visiting! And to those of you, who leave a comment know that you make my life more beautiful :-)
