It´s all about abstracts

Coffee scape! This one is painted on watercolor paper A4 using coffee and watercolor.

I think Blogger/GOOGLE has a lot of "fixing" to do. Lots of stupid things going on with the program. Makes me wonder if they don´t use people to find the errors BEFORE they go online with it.

Take care everyone, It is still needed. I am currently waiting for news from my granddaughter. She is on a flight from Queensland to Sweden. Her Masterclass in Marine biology is finished and she can´t stay "downunder" in these C-times. She was happy she was able to fly at all.

Falling feathers

Tempera on watercolor paper A4. Feather stamps!

This is the Blue forest from last week. Just wanted to share what I made of it

😃

Abstract forest

Here I took two layers of the same image and positioned and blended them differently. I also used the "empty space" to keep it off center.

For this mosaic I turned the Blue forest into greyscale.

The leaf, just because I like it!

First time today I worked with the new interface. I found it to be both good and annoying. But that might be because blogger is not the only thing updated this week

😒

I hope you are all at good spirit. Guess we need it right now,

Face

Click image to enlarge!

Face in a piece of Birch bark.

For Rains theme Face in object, this week. This is my favorite and I even have had it on one of my exhibitions. I still have it! Photographed on my balcony floor.

An upside down face and reflection on one of my saucepans.

Happy face

Just for the fun of it. Strangely this face disappeared rather quickly.

😏

The shape in the blue forest.
This was supposed to be a beautiful blue birch forest. I had watched a tutorial on Youtube.
It did not work as I expected. Probably as I used glossy photo paper A4 to paint on with Tempera color. The color did not work as fluid as I had expected it to do so it, kind of, got stuck instead of moving. And the yarn with white color that should create the tree trunks was not heavy enough to lay down on the paper. It buckles and became uneven. So, to save the day, I photographed the "blue forest", took it to Photoshop and added the pink shape, slightly manipulated too.

I still have the Blue forest without the pink shape. Any suggestions of what to paint on it?

Well, today I hope, at least, you get a bit amused. 😂

Two colors

Click image to enlarge!

Rains theme for today is Two colors. Suited me fine as there was something I had thought of doing.

Wind

A4 watercolor paper painted with coffee and Burnt Sienna watercolor. At first I planned to use Burnt umber to finish off. But I changed my mind when I saw it as it was. Sometimes less is more.

Yellow Waterfall
Watercolor on A5 CarbOn paper. No water added.

Pink coral!
This was a failure I had "collecting dust". Waiting for ideas. It was painted with the blue tempera but scraped of in the center.
I put dots of glue here and there to create corals and filled them with pink glitter. When it dried I decided to paint some fish as well to give it "life".

Hm, strange, no photoart today. 😀

The little Mermaid and other things

Click image to enlarge!

The little Mermaid

A few months ago I played around with dropping color in water and photograph it. I had the sticker of the mermaid and a photo of the little dolphin. Combined the underwaterworld in Photoshop

The little Mermaid

A shot of one of my pours, 40x40. I added some mermaids and fish to create a digital underwaterworld.

This is "memory lane". We call them "Book marks" but I think the English might be "Printed scrapes" Most of them was my mothers so they are about 100 years old. You can recognize "Cinderella", "Snow White", "The Frog prince". "The wild swans". The last one might be "Nils Holgersson" a Swedish tale by Selma Lagerlöf.

The scrapes are 6x8 cm each placed on A4 paper.

If this was Dinosaur´s instead of deer´s this might be a forest from the Triassic period.
I photographed ferns from below and the deer is actually a winter shot with a large tree.
Combined the two images and Voila, a fantasy forest.

Hope everyone is safe. Sun is shining today but it is chilly. We have desert, winter and rain periods all in the same week.

Bits and pieces on a plate

Click image to enlarge!

Life is Beautiful!
Rains theme for today is to Try a different medium. Well, this is pieces of wood from canvases I did not use. They have "collected" dust for a while. I have some plastic plates and placed them out on one. They became a barn and a fence. Then I painted the plate with black, green and silver Tempera color. Finding the deer and the message stickers completed the plate.

The Swan and Meadow is as you can see digital art from my photos. Both are made from 2 images each using Photoshop and Topaz

We had a very hot week but yesterday the rain finally cooled us down a bit. And saved us a little from fire hazards. Hope everyone is safe and sound!
