Mysterious, Dark, Flower and dots

Ice queen

This is a photomontage I started several years ago. I finished it now to Rains promt Mysterious and dark. The model is me. I never finished it as I could not decide if I liked it or not. Yesterday I changed the form of the dress and added some markings in the face. I think it suits the promts as, in my opinion, there is always light in darkness. Without light there is no darkness. And.... we finally got a little ice and snow around where I live.

Stormy

As many of you like the dark and scary stuff I thought I´d ad this to my post today. It is a raven blown away in the storm.  A storm strong and dark enough to destroy our City hall. Created a few years ago. 

Dots

I worked a bit more on the acrylics. I wanted to see what colors covers the blue color beneath it.

Dots 2

The above was quite fun so I continued on a photopaper  A4

Albizia silk tree Flower

This is a painting I made from a photo I took in Queensland some years ago.  One of my favorite flower shots. It is a result from what I learned working with the dots above. The flower is painted with a tiny fanbrush I found at the makeup part of  DOLLARSTORE.

I was hoping for sunshine today but instead I have a frosty world outside. Both sun and frost would have been perfect. But I take the frost and will go out and fill my camera. 

Take care everyone!

Oslo!

This is created from an image when I was on a train in Oslo, Norway, going north. 

I took a quick shot through the window and played with it later. It is created by two images of the same shot. One rotated 180 deg to create this architecture for Rains TAD. (to be honest I created it a few years back)

This is the same as above but my lamp was on. I liked the effect so I share that as well. I think if would be nice as a photo poster. 

Blue eye!

I was bored one day and so I played around a bit with water, soap and drops of oil. And, this happened.

A little of this....a little of that

Carnation in a piece of Birch bark
I am born in Sagittarious  and Carnation is the flower I choose for  Rains TAD this week.

April Bonfire
Last day of April we celebrate spring in Sweden with a bonfire and students singing. This year the celebration was cancelled of course so I painted my own. Tempera on photo paper.

 Many of my walls are bearing wall and hard to put nails in. Over at Dollarstore I bought a large canvas and arranged six of my smaller canvases (20x20 cm) on it, that way I only had to hammer one hook in the wall instead of six.

Floating red moon

This is a collage and manipulation of two images. 

And, finally! In Corona times I have now created a visor that I can adapt on my glasses. You put the spectacles sidepieces in the holes with the plastic in front of the glasses. 

Works well as long as there is not strong winds blowing them around. And I don´t get steam on my glasses.
So, this is me in the photo. 😃

Gannets. .A favorite bird I happened to "pass by" in my files.


The spring has arrived even if we still has cold mornings.

My test pad for painting  also suitable for Rains this week I think as there are flowers, trees, ghosts and even a spider. The size of the pad is A4
This is a pad I designed for SCANIA heavy truck drivers when I was still working at the design department. I was allowed to bring it home with me when I was retired.

Ice and water

Golden angel in snowy weather
This is a mixture of paint and photography edit. The "snow" comes from one of my LP:s I painted on. The angel is a figurine I got from my daughter.  The landscape comes from a Scotland trip I was on.

 Frozen flowers 1 
 (three sizes of the same image creates the frame-effect)

Frozen flowers 2
The two images of Frozen flowers, is just that. I freeze them and when I take them out i five the ice a quick dip in water. Then I have to hurry get them photographed before it all melts.

The wave 2

The wave 1 and 2
I like the first wave I created with thick paint on canvas 12x18 cm. Yesterday evening I made the second one.

Whimsical tree´s texture canvas with shadow pattern, edited in photoshop

This is the "Whimsical Tree Goddess" project.
I saw the video on Youtube and thought it is a good exercise for handling pencils. First time  I got the blending of  Acrylic colors to my liking. It was well explained how to do it. So I was happy :)
Then I made a sketch of the treegoddess. And got stuck! It is hard to transfer the sketch to the canvas as the canvas surface is kind of, slippery.
So, for the time being I photographed the canvas texture and took it to photoshop for some fun edit.
