Cinderella!
 version 2, I made one before and people seemed to like it even if it was, obviously a beginners work. So I tried to do a better one. Learning from what did not work earlier.

I hope everybody had a great Christmas week. This is how I spent mine. My daughter is married to an Englishman and they flew off to England. Christmas eve I had dinner with my sister. I had a nice week with art indoors and a grey one outdoors. No snow anywhere to brighten up the day. 😞

Merry Christmas PPF o Rain´s

 Prismatic!
This was inspired by the Prismatic spring. The colors is quite right but I forgot the yellow 😀
Canvas 12x18 cm

Yesterday morning I accidentally managed to hard boil my egg. That made me leave it for evening meal  and make shrimp/egg sandwich.  Then I thought, it is Aroma challenge over at Rain´s.  And Christmas is coming. Got a fun idea. So I started to make a Christmas plate just for the fun of it. After photographing it I made the sandwiches and ate them.
Now I learned the Aroma challenge was earlier but I post it anyway. It´s Christmas, Right!

Rains Cozy and PPF

 Click image to enlarge!

Spiritual Deer forest

canvas 23x30 cm.    This one took me several days to complete. It was when I placed them unevenly that I liked it. And then I remembered I had some white deer's as well. They are cutouts.  And, there are glitter on it, like a little snowfall. An hour ago I noticed my kitchen floor are glittering too.  😀😇

Santas Cozy vacation

For Rains Cozy and Dreamers challenge. This is painted in photoshop, first time I tried something like this really. But Santa is photographed. I bought them in New Zeeland many years ago and thought I could combine it. Santa is part of my Christmas decoration.

Abstract pour on panel 18x24 cm
I bought the panels earlier this week as they were cheep and wanted to try it. But, as you can see they are bent, curved at the short side. I thought they should stay flat 😞
Both panels are the same colors. I dipped the second one on the standing one. There were too much colors on it. But the final result is very different from each other.

PPF Blue and yellow

 Click image to enlarge!

 Yellow, holiday fantasy.
The base is a canvas 20x30cm that I painted yellow. The ballerina is the one I created earlier by cutting it out. The deers and candles are stickers I bought. I layed it out and took a shot. Fixed the rest in photoshop, removed shadows and such to create true silhouettes.

Blue!  Sketch paper size A5
Just testing the colors. Earlier I had been cooking lingonberry (cowberry) for making jelly. I love the red colors it has. After painting the black and blue I thought the red lingon  would be nice to ad. The lingonberry added some color and texture to the, well, abstract painting.  Anyway, I am not going to eat it. 😀

 The Handle has changed form a bit while working with the plastic folio on the canvas. I also added a few decoration rivets to it to ad a little contrast.

This is the disc with the handle overflow I used in the abstract above.

Meadow bokeh and dipper

 Click image to enlarge!

Meadow!
Yesterday I gave the BOKEH a shot. Worked rather well but I need at least one larger circle. This is the foam brushes I used.  I did enhance the colors in photoshop. A5 watercolor paper. 

 This is the scallop I had earlier. Tried the bubbles and foam but only got a couple of tiny bubbles. I think it has to be done on paper or canvas to work.

Blue lake disc with a "handle"

© NF Photo 191128

I created a pour yesterday. When I looked at the table while it was drying I noticed the overflow of black paint had created a handle. The image with the handle is the image I like best, as a photographer, it also have colored reflections from my window light strand. The overflow is on a thin plastic folio. I am now preparing a mixed media painting using the "handle". But it will take time for that one to dry. 😟 I hope I can share it before AEDM is over.

 My older serie "Catching light"
© NF PhotoArt 160918

Yesterday I wanted to create a "Hand tree". I tried to copy the first of "Catching light"  on CARBon paper so I could paint on that one. But that did not work. The printer don´t seem to print white color.
😢
So, tried to draw in Photoshop but it is hard to draw with the mouse. Then I remember, three years ago I bought the smallest of the WACOM series tablet so see if I could use it. It was hard. But yesterday I connected it and, voila, it worked well enough for the branches.

Have a nice day!

AEDM25 Butterfly

 Click image to enlarge!

This is how I started. The butterfly comes from a stencil

Just wanted to share how this Tempera color glows in certain light.

Yep, I destroyed it! Wanted to see if I could turn it "dark". Guess not 😎  But I learned how to use the tape both for holding the paper and to use it for the paint to flow over the edges.

Butterfly!  Guess I´m done for now. I also learned it it possible to wet the paper A LOT and still get away with it 😇

Butterfly in progress, Sorry, I let you see the same piece 4 times. It is sketch paper size A5. If you did not already guess.

A sidenot might be of interest. The board I use for the paper says "SCANIA" on the top. I was working on the SCANIA heavy trucks design department in many years. I designed this bord for making it easy for drivers to sit behind the wheel and make notes. You put the board in your knee and lean it to the wheel. Then you can write comfortly. 😊

PPF AEDM22 From this week

 Click image to enlarge!

The wave
This one is not yet finished, as I started it at midnight, but I wanted to photograph it before I might spoil it.
The idea is to ad foam bubbles on it. I have seen how to do it with color and dish soap.
So, wish me luck on that.

On stage, my own, homemade, stencils and foam brush on CARBon paper

My Orchids  liquidized in photoshop

And a combination of orchids and ballerina


The orchids and ballerina somehow belongs together. So, I cut out the dancer using a scalpel from a copy on paper. Had some fun with the orchids and combined it all in photoshop.
And, right now I realized I can actually cut out stencils from OverHead sheets that I have a load of since I was working.
