Friday face

Click image to enlarge!

Faces in a wooden fence.

I can see two faces and a heart.

Faces in the moss on a rock.

I can see three faces.

I told you what I can see. What do you see?

I bet Andrea can see many more then me.

Opposites attracts

Click image to enlarge!

Opposites attracts!

It is created from three diffferent painted A4 papers. One black and two white papers.

Then I photographed them and fused them digitally in Photoshop and added the text and frame.

Lately I have acquired some stamps. And now I had some fun with them,

This is the red side of the page above. I thought it was worth beeing shared.

What I used for this one.

And one black A4 paper and a white one.

Friday faces

A painted face!

This is a quick sketch I did with a flat pencil and thin acrylic color.

Much to see how it would work. A4 paper

Two faces created from photos of my granddaughter.

She did have that wig and we had fun shooting it.

Bread and workshop

Click image to enlarge!

Some of the people painting on the long canvas.

Done! We filled it all.

😁

Now is time to take the frames and look for what part you want to bring home.

This is what I took home with me.

The frame in the corner was actually a mistake. I put it on the canvas without thinking it was still wet. So, the frame somehow painted itself. And I like it.

💝

This place is the art workshop for the ArtHall. This room and the Art hall is used for lots of different activities. Apart from the Art Exhitirions there are lots of activities in there. Among the artpieces.

I had seen many workshops for babies. Babies "paitning" with eatable paiting like blueberries and lingon. It is also used for schoolclasses and groups like that.

But there was never any activities for us a bit mature people. So, when ever I could I complained. I know the people in charge since I had exhibitions in the next room called "The Corner".

Now there are much activities for all ages. The one I attended this time will run on wednedays every fortnight until the end of May. So, there will be more times to have fun.

And it is free as it is part of the municipality's cultural activities

The tree

acrylics painted on A4 glitter paper.

And now I am hungry, so some bread for TADD is welcome.

The ham looks like a heart. Well, it was Valetine this week.

And now it is time for a lunch break.

Hm, well, it was FUN too.

Lovely Red

Click image to enlarge!

This is a face I draw with ink a couple of days ago.

The eagle flies on one of my sweatshirts.

A fansiful hairbrush, and a heart from our roundabout that glows in the dark

😊

This is my favorite plant. A Hoya Valentine KERRII.

A rare one. The drops are beautiful and sweet but sooo sticky. Much like honey.

I have to put paper below the flowers so the drops can drop onto the paper.

TIOT needs Love this week and AJJ wants to See red.

Starry night

Painted with acrylics on glitter paper.

Copper forest.

Painted with acrylics on A3 brown paper.

That´s all for today guys. 😀 Have fun!

Wilderness faces!

Green peas

for Rain who wants to see veggies this week. My shot digitally altered.

Wilderness faces!

Had some fun with an old tree and a deer.

I have seen this tree in several years but now, without the green leaves it showed is true face.

I created this from a photo of the tree that I duplicated and flipped and then added a digital

sticker of the deer head.

Another Art Journal in red :)
