Welcome to
Monica Johansson and NatureFootstep.com
I am interested in nature photography and photo art and travels
as much as I can to find new areas to document.
I have many blogs and below you find links to them.

Mixed media I guess

 The Egg Nebula
This is digital! I took a shot of an empty egg I had for breakfast. Lit with UV-light it looked like a nebula so it became one :)

 The Glob
Canvas 20x20cm and Tempera silvery colors. Colors changes from dull to very glossy, depending on the direction you look at it. And the light of course.


Lichen Fantasy!
I found the lichen in the forest and liked it. I had this canvas made of leftover colors using a balloon and added the lichen to it. So, this is some kind of mixed media I guess.
Canvas 20x20cm and Tempera

And, a scallop with my image on it. :)
I will share it on the upcoming exhibition. Maybe somebody want to order one with their loved ones on it :) If so I have a few more to use up!

More scallops

The mask!

Sister and brother

When my grandson saw the scallop of him and his sister I gave my daughter, he wanted one as well.
After a discussion he said he also wanted one with the Mask images I took a few years back. It is him behind the mask :)

This week I have been sick, I got some kind of foodborne illness and almost could not eat for a week. But I manage to create the scallops my grandson wanted. He has seen The Mask, but not the other one.

It is hard to paint circles on the scallop so the green frame is very uneven. So, I have to ask him if he wants a broader frame? But I think that will be too much green. The frame on his mothers version is broader and golden. Was easier to create :) The oval on The Mask is created in Photoshop and is on the photo. That is why it looks nice


Wishing everyone a great PPP

Trial and error

 Click image to enlarge!
This is two photos merged and manipulated. It is a rosebush and a part of a walkway with flat stones. I like when the purple and blue colors pops up. :)

Sunset
This is another tile. Worked with acrylic colors and mostly, my fingers as pencil.

Northern light or whatever. At least that is what I aimed for.
 I turned out to use both tempera and acrylic. I´m not sure I like it, but I find it interesting in a weird way. And I like the acrylic colors when you don´t blend them too much. I probably give it another try when days are getting darker.

Just plying around with Cinderella, family and waterfall

Cinderella, first try  canvas 40x50cm
This has been in my mind for a few months now. I bought the carriage two months ago and tried to figure out what and how to use them. I came up with this plan but did not know if it would work.
Well, I learned what happens with the color. Turned out I had tooo much black color on the canvas. I wanted it to look like the right side all the way down over the carriage. But I too much black color coming down. I have ordered 4 new carriages, I have shown this one for a few people and they seem to like it. :) My daughter want this one if I create another :)

These are now in my daughters possession. The horseshoes are from a trip to Iceland. So, from small horses. Photographed on her silvery placemat.

 I was given a black tile from a friend. It was quite fun to through some color on it. Sadly it is not working as art. It is too heavy to hang on the wall and you canpt use it to place things on it.


Waterfall,  A4 paper for acrylic or watercolor work, first time I used it.

Waterfall, A4 carbon paper

Half way throgh the colored waterfall I had way to much white acrylic paint on the fanbrush so I started to paint the second waterfall. :) They did not take long to create and was fun :)
