 Coffee fun on watercolor paper A4
Added a little tempera and glitter

 A blue take on the Corona.    Tempera on tile 14,5cm
I have been staring on that blue color for a while. Now I cleaned up a black tile and now it got "infected"
😁

Well, one needs to have some fun with it, right?
Corona is not only a virus. It is also the beautiful light around the sun. In this case, a blue sun.
But on the news the past days it seem to have slowed down a bit. Maybe there is light in the end of the tunnel?

Take care, stay safe!

Bubble wrap fun and a cat

 Click image to enlarge!

The following was using a bubble wrap to create the patterns
 the starting paint on a glazed tile


pressing the bubble wrap on the glazed tile

Before I used the bubble wrap I pressed a canvas on the tile creating a mirror image of it.


finally I used the color on the bubble wrap to "paint" a CARBON paper and an acrylic one.  You can see many of the colors get lost on the CARBON paper. And changed the feeling of it.



 Lastly I had some digital fun with a cat I photographed, This time I used Topaz to do it. I find it relaxing after spending many hours at the library.

Trial and error

 Click image to enlarge!
This is two photos merged and manipulated. It is a rosebush and a part of a walkway with flat stones. I like when the purple and blue colors pops up. :)

Sunset
This is another tile. Worked with acrylic colors and mostly, my fingers as pencil.

Northern light or whatever. At least that is what I aimed for.
 I turned out to use both tempera and acrylic. I´m not sure I like it, but I find it interesting in a weird way. And I like the acrylic colors when you don´t blend them too much. I probably give it another try when days are getting darker.

Just plying around with Cinderella, family and waterfall

 Click image to enlarge!
Cinderella, first try  canvas 40x50cm
This has been in my mind for a few months now. I bought the carriage two months ago and tried to figure out what and how to use them. I came up with this plan but did not know if it would work.
Well, I learned what happens with the color. Turned out I had tooo much black color on the canvas. I wanted it to look like the right side all the way down over the carriage. But I too much black color coming down. I have ordered 4 new carriages, I have shown this one for a few people and they seem to like it. :) My daughter want this one if I create another :)

These are now in my daughters possession. The horseshoes are from a trip to Iceland. So, from small horses. Photographed on her silvery placemat.

 I was given a black tile from a friend. It was quite fun to through some color on it. Sadly it is not working as art. It is too heavy to hang on the wall and you canpt use it to place things on it.


Waterfall,  A4 paper for acrylic or watercolor work, first time I used it.

Waterfall, A4 carbon paper

Half way throgh the colored waterfall I had way to much white acrylic paint on the fanbrush so I started to paint the second waterfall. :) They did not take long to create and was fun :)
