Colors and circle

Colors of life

Acrylic on 30x40 canvas
As I have acrylic paint I wanted to play around with it. I had seen something on Youtube I wanted to try. But of course, my work took it´s own path. It´s not even close to what I started with :) 

 My Circled Universe

One sketch and  painting on carbon paper, and 2 pours, one on canvas the other on an LP record,  combined in Photoshop

Deer under the Tree
White tempera on black canvas 20x20cm

 Emotional meltdown - Känslomässig härdsmälta
Grained paper A5
One morning at breakfast my brain presented me with "Emotional meltdown" Two days later I tried to paint it. I used only three colors, Black,red,yellow which I think represent a quick destruction. Which was proved in Paris this week. :(

The Seesaw - Gungbrädan
Canvas 20x20cm
This happend as I had the decoration gravel and the white Seesaw. I had some troubble with the thick paint but finally I got it too work.


Happy Easter! - Glad Påsk!

Earlier in life I always painted my Easter eggs with tiny chickens. Thought I´ll do it this year too even if I had no guests   :)

Testing shopping and having fun

 Click image to enlarge!
 The wave!
I tested some homemade think pasta. Sadly it is cracking so I used the blue paint "water" to glue it. Seem to work but it is rather fragile. Was thinking of adding a white tree but changed my mine. I like it as it is.  A very small canvas 12x18 cm


The beach!
Teh otehr day I was shopping! They have set up a DOLLARSTORE in my town and this was my first visit. I found the little black canvas above and the DECORglas, in the shell, and bought them. Also used remains of the pasta in the beach. And, giggling, the sand was once collected by my mother in Teneriffa :) 


The red beam!  20x20 canvas
This was mainly a failiure. I tested to work with stencils and straith lines with helo of tape. My mistake was I covered the canvas with tooo much black paint. The surface is slippery. That is why the paint looks dotted. Like oil it was drawn to puddles insted of an even surface.
Well, I got the idea and learned from it :)

For the rainbow challenge I remembered an image from the beginning of blogging. Luckily I had named it rainbow so I could find it. I combined it with a UV-lit curtain image I took 2 weeks ago.
I don´t remember what happened to the pot as I don´t have it anymore :(

Trees, I think

 Click image to enlarge!
A tree on a CD. Using yarn and sprinkles, Just....don´t try to eat it!
This was fun but a bit tricky not to get black solor on the yarn. The sprinkles that ended up in a spot with thick, wet, paint lost some of the colors. 

Easter birch

This happened as I saw some thin, white bark on a birch. Collected some. I also had the Easter bunny so I combined them for Easter. I left the egg without words. If somebody wants to buy it they can write whatever they want later on. The canvas is small 20x20 cm
