 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!

Headstart of exhibition and crop

I found this image from a rainy field in my files looking for a bird and decided to play around a bit with it.

I added a BOKEH texture of mine and this is the result.

I, sort of, got myself in a fun situation. As I mentioned earlier I will have an exhibition in the library starting  190902.

Monday evening I got an email. Due to changes this place will be empty until you start your exhibition. Do you want to use it???? 
They don´t like empty walls :)

Instead of 2 weeks I got almost 4.  Sure I want 

As the layout for the planned exhibition is not yet finished I quickly decided to use the extra time to play around with. I grabbed some pieces and went to the library next morning. When there I realized most of the posters was from Yellowstone 3 years ago. And my bird poster. Day 2 I added some of the chain pulls and pours. I have warned people on an INFO-paper that this time the walls will change constantly until the planned exhibition is set up.

This morning I thought I will use the board to the left to share some of my testing canvases. You never see test or unfinished objects in exhibitions so I think I will do that. Will be cool to see peoples reactions.

Fall is slowly arriving and kids are back to school.  Hope everyone is healthy and fine.

Photoedit, pour and Saturn project

 Click image to enlarge!
Photo edit.  If you look close you can see it is my red Hoya in bloom.

 Photo edit of a "burning" moss, I call it On fire!

 This is a tempera pour on canvas. I call it Busy! I did not make the color thin enough. But I am getting used to it.


This is something I started yesterday. I call it Project Saturn.
My brother think I am a better painter then I actually am and asked me to create a Fantasy Saturn image. I thought I try it on a carbon paper so I won´t spoil a canvas on this. And I don´t have to paint the black. As I have worked on a heavy truck design department for the better part of my adult life I did not dare to draw circles free handed. So I gathered some of my old tools. I included the image I am trying to paint. But so far I covered the paper with an OH sheet. I have to figure out what brush to use and the blending of colors. Doing that on the OverHead sheet will give me some experience even if I know the paper will be different still.
Keep your fingers crossed that I will have something to share next week :)

Let your creativity flow! And may spring be around soon up north.

Last but not least, Happy 8th birthday PPF

Paint pull and physalis

Chain pull flower

The wave

Physalis

This kind of painting is quite interesting to me. I was only about to paint one canvas in black. The purpose was to try out how to use fan brushes. I ended up with four canvases in black and white :) The two shared above I will bring to the Exhibition I start Monday. Hopefully somebody want to buy them. My walls are full again.

I DID do the black canvas yesterday :)

The Wave is actually black and white, the blue tone comes from the camera as it was a grey day. Camera settings White Balance like to do that. I like it so I keep the color in the photo.

The Physalis is a photo with some light edits.

More acorns

More acorns. It is quite fun to work with. Only back draw is they fade away quickly. A camera is needed to capture it all. To the left in all images is the same acorn in different stages. It darkens and then it starts to crack.

The acorn to the right in the pen image is the canvas for the center one in the second image. I draw the "tree" from the pattern it it´s bottom area.

I haven´t given up of trying to preserve some of them. I have a few in a bottle with vinegar right now, but I doubt it will work, Seems like the red color is moving out if the acorns :(

I have tried two kind of pens. Ink and gel works. Still have to try arylic paint if I can handle such a tiny brush. :)
