All different

Wildlife at night!
Another piece on CARB-on A4 black paper. I used stencil for the deer. The rest is a circular foam brush.

Flower field!
This piece was a happening. It was a photo poster from the start that I scraped away the image. Then I used it as black and white art. A week ago I painted it with gold and blue Tempera color. And was lost. :( After using the foam brush on the CARB-on paper I decided to make a Flower field. I was inspired by a real one in a farm outside my town. Lots and lots of flowers, Poppy and many others. So, this is an interpretation of that colorful field.

Autumn avenue
This is an avenue outside my town leading to a Mansion. I photographed it a couple of days ago. This time I did not use photohop for the edit. I have another one called Topaz. The filter used was oil paint.

This Eye challenge made me think of an old piece I created. The eyes are the eyes of my granddaughter and the smoke came from candles. The two images fit nicely togther.

On my wall in the hall

On my wall in the hall

I finally got to the point when I start to hang my art on the walls. I chose the wall between kitchen and bedroom for the circular ones. And added the rectangular one that was created with the circular one above it.

Made a quick test of some "patterns" on my shelf. CARBON A4 paper and white tempera.

BOKEH LAKE
This is digital and quite impossible to describe the process. Many images and techniques used. For short it is a blurred branch in front of a blurred lake

Messed up fluid

Click image to enlarge!

This week I created a Barbie goes by Train image for a Train challenge
Photoshop

This was really a messed up one taht turned out OK. It is a canvas 21x30 cm and not compleately dry.

I also created two circular fluids dia30cm and was playing around a bit with patterns.

I borrowed a book at the Library, COLOUR. a workshop for artists and designers. Seems very interesting and made me whish I was younger. At my age everything seem to be "to late" but I think I can use some of the knowledge in the book. Mainly about blending and light. 😎🤔

Sun is shining today and it seem to be a fine, slightly chilly and fresh autumn day. So, I will take a long walk. 😃
