This week

Click image to enlarge!

Much Jumping at Rains TAD today. :)

Jumping at the skatepark!

Created from two of my images.

The map!

I bought some new green and orange acrylic colors this week and thought I´ll test them. I dotted a watercolor paper, first with the green one. And then it took a while until I added orange and other colors. I like the way I can see what colors was added first. The paper soak it up nicely and "kept it" visible when I added the other colors and then took the roller over it all.

I think it looks like a map from abowe. Maybe I´ll see if I can ad some "level curves" to it.

Seems I have been busy this week so I create a Mosaic for Mosaic Monday.

The two on top is created usin three sizes of bubble wraps. and a balloon.

Bottom row is somethong like Gelli plate work on A5 sketch paper. I´m sure Andrea can find faces in at least one of them. I see two faces with one common eye in the left one. 😂

The yellow is a door tag like the one they have in Hotels. Painted a simple flower on it.

This week I recieved a letter with a survay they want me to answer. It was a "book" with 44 pages and full of questions to answer. Small letters and no empty spaces. So, now my eyes turned XXX:s

But I am done with it so I can now hope you guys have a great week.

The eyes is an old waterdolor piece that I took and digitally added the X and the page.

I will visit my daughter this Saturday. We celebrate Midsummer. Should really be Summer solstice but they moved it to the closest weekend.

Invented color

Click image to enlarge!

Todays theme at Rains is Inventions, below is my take on that 😇

First I created my own visor for protecting me from the Corona virus. It worked

😁

Second, I "invented" a new color to paint with. It is created from the settling when making my own red wine. I always liked the color from that and used to photograph it in my bathtub when cleaning the the container. And made some digital work on that. This time I added some vinegar to it to avoid mold.

Old time shutters!

In old times they did not have that much glas windows so for protection they used wooden shutters.

This one is created on A3 watercolorpaper using the red wine settlings and acrylic colors.

It was a lot of paint on that paper and it buckled heavily. I thought it was ruined. Also when it dried it cracked. It is impossible to flatten it so it can never go into a frame. But I like it!

Close up abstract of the above.

This is the lower right part of the painting to show the cracks. It is, kind of, a landscape of it´s own.

Wine flower!

As I had a lot of leftover color I started to paint the flower. But the soft background happend in Photo shop.

Wheat field abstract!

Hand in hand

Click image to enlarge!

Today I was using some older pieces and altered them a bit to fit todays Hand challenge.

Hand in hand brings light!

My hand hodlding the hand you have seen before. A useful piece for artwork.

Dressage in my hand!

Holding the Blue Crystal World in my hand!

Maori cave art!

This piece is painted on watercolor paper A4. Orange background is watercolor. The caveart is painted with acrylic color. This caveart I have on a T-shirt from New Zeeland that bought on a visit many years ago. I love it and was thinking of painting it for a while now. Now I figured out how to get the pattern from the T-shirt to the paper. Still, I made a mistake. I forgot that I have thinner brushes. The "hands" would look better painted with a thin brush. But next time I will. There is a lot of rock art in the world so, maybe, I will do more of them. 😍
