Canceled summer plans

Click image to enlarge!

Summer plans for Rains DAT this week. Well forget about it. I guess everybody knows why that is.
I was thinking of driving to Öland. An iceland in the south of Sweden. Not to windsurf myself but to photograph them. I made this watercolor painting inspired of a photo I took several years ago. I love watching them and if I was young I would certainly try it!

Yellow Magnolia
One photo used three times in different ways and combined.

I have now put the small, bright, paintings on a white canvas.I might call it
"Black and White kitchen wall"
😄

Rains and PPF

We all need a hug these days, this is for you.
Photocollage of 2 images

For Rains "in like a lamb, out like a lion" challenge I choose to see two sides of the same water.
Upper and lower side of the flood lock . 2 photos collage

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.

I have two orchids and they happened to bloom at the same time. I shot them using a black and a white background. Then decided to play with the black one.

Universe and Transformation of field

Click image to enlarge!

Micro cosmos - Mikrokosmos
In August there will be an exhibition in my town where every local artist can attend with three pieces. The theme is Micro Cosmos. I have created two small pieces so far. The shell is 12x12 cm and the canvas 12x18 cm.
I´m unsure which way to turn it. I created it as the lower one but my daughter sais it shall rotate to the upper one. What do you think? I would like the input.

Below I decided to share how some things evolve when I work

This is a field hole, I think they call it, where my daughter lives.

The same image with a PS filter, Angle strokes

Next step: channel mix1 o gradient map
Liked this one so I decided to try to paint it

So, here it is: the Field hole as painting on canvas. Acrylic 20x30 cm
I was using a roller, pencil and a water spray bottle. I liked the little dots created by the water.
Has very little in common with the original, right?

Nature Yarn and Eggshell

Click image to enlarge!

This is a photo of the stone wall around a graveyard. The outer stone has fallen off and reveal the patten of concrete. I always check this wall when I´m passing by. Lots of beautiful spots.

This is a photo of a half rotten, fallen tree trunk. Love the colors and pattern.

I saw something on Youtube that inspired me to create this one. It is a canvas wrapped with yarn and covered with Heavy Gel Medium colored with Tempera.

This is a disposable plate covered with Heavy gel medium and pieces of eggshell :) In this image it is not yet dry.

© NF Photo 190301

The artist that inspired me for these two used some kind of tiny pearls to create 3D pattens. As I don´t have something like that I used a cleaned eggshell. I can´t find anything in Sweden that resembles what she used. The artist did not clearly mention it. If you have any idea I would be happy to learn.

Wishing everyone a nice weekend. Sun is shining today so it is promising. :)

A little of this a little of that

Click image to enlarge!

Was playing around in photoshop with an image of a waterfall. Turned out like this.

This is an image of a snowy fern I did not come to grip with. Until I added an image of the canvas I just started to prepare for a pour. The pattern in blue comes from that canvas.

Did some more practising with the fanbrush. A birch!

And yesterday night I did the pour. Using tempera color.

I think I could have had some more cells on the pour but I think the burner I have for that purpose is scary. I don´t dare use it indoors. And it was too cold on my balcony yesterday. I used three colors and black. Yellow, green and pink. Canvas size 20x20cm

Trying something Impressionist. Have done something like this before but did not know it was an artistic "style". I´m not educated in art. Just do what I feel the image should become.
