Game and glitter

 Click image to enlarge!
Three in a row! 
This is a game I have that is made of marble. I photographed it and the created the the flying marble balls and the support in Photoshop
For Rains TAD, Games, this week!


From foto to art. Well, like photo was not art. 😇
A photo of grass in snow. We actually had snow for a few days. 
Today it is turned into mud.

Grass painted with acrylic on A5 photopaper


Glittery landscape
Acrylic paint on watercolor A4 paper. 
I created the snowy ground with the layer upon layer technique I learned lately. I think it is 4 layers of whites and blues. The grass/twiges I painted with the color Raw Umber as black was way to black. 
😁


 Just playing around with a Triptych color palette.
Acrylics painted with fingers. And framed with a lace I have.

I guess many of you are happy today. There are now a new President in the US. 
I hope President Biden and vicepresident Kamala Harris will be able to implement much of what they want to do. 

Take care everyone, there are still a pandemic going on. 

Linking up with the following memes. My thanks to the hosts:

  3. Monica,

    Tic Tac Toe was a favorite childhood game by most all. I like your acrylic blades of grass in the snow. Thanks for sharing, my friend. When you get a chance, I hope you come by to visit me at Curious as a Cathy! ;)

  8. I love coming over here. You always come up with wonderous ideas and paintings. Your photo of the grass in the snow is perfect and your painting of it as well( I will tell you now that I see faces and figures in every painting you did ... do you do that on purpose?) Your grass in the snow painting has a pair of eyes looking out from it. Your twigs have a subtle face in the layers of snow. Your blue Triptych color has a man falling into an abyss. Your green has a woman on her knees and the brown has an owl in the upper corner. All in all you do beautiful work, Monica ...

    1. I am amazed about how many faces and shapes you see in my art Andrea. It is not my aim to create, so, I think it is your mind letting you find them. But I actually found the eys in the grass. :)
