Halloween and fall

 Click image to enlarge!
My witch has two jobs. One on Good friday at Easter when she rides her broomstick and cat to Blåkulla to dance in the moonlight. 
Second jobb is as witch for Halloween in October. That time she is a bit nasty I think. 
This time she carries a TAG for Tag Tuesday

She also represents TADs promt Broomstick. 

I had this witch for maybe 45 years and she still rides her broomstick. 
😍

Halloween outfit!

Maple seeds

I was out picking some seeds from Maple trees yesterday. There are two kind of Maple trees. One with a dark reddish tint, as the leaf in the corner shows. Digitally altered.

It´s all about abstracts

Blue swirls
 This one is painted on glossy photopaper A4 with tempera color. 

 Coffee scape!  This one is painted on watercolor paper A4 using coffee and watercolor. 

The oak trees and the sink above are manipulated in Topaz studio and Photoshop

I think Blogger/GOOGLE has a lot of "fixing" to do. Lots of stupid things going on with the program. Makes me wonder if they don´t use people to find the errors BEFORE they go online with it.

Well, abstracts is what I do most of the time. So, not much of a problem when it comes to themes. 

Take care everyone, It is still needed. I am currently waiting for news from my granddaughter. She is on a flight from Queensland to Sweden. Her Masterclass in Marine biology is finished and she can´t stay "downunder" in these C-times. She was happy she was able to fly at all.

Dark Abstracts and Midsummer

 Click image to enlarge!
Dark Power
Photoshop work! I was playing around with an image of two beautiful art glasses I have. Then I was looking for a fairy to complete the image, but, I found a devil :)  Think the pair sits nicely on their thrones :) 


  Dark Fountain 2
This is a brighter version of the Dark Fountain from last week. Not as much black this time and more colors. This is photographed when it was dry.
Tempera on white Canvas 24x30 cm

This is a detail of the one above. Photographed when still wet and then color enhanced in Photoshop. 


Captured golden seafloor - Gyllene havsbotten
I liked the string of black on the white board so I tried to capture a kind of pour in the middle of it. I wanted fo keep the interaction between the black and the white color.
And finally added the "black spot" in the center.
Tempera on white Canvas 28x28 cm

This is a photo I took yesterday. In Sweden we celebrate "Midsummer" to celebrate the summer solstice and today is Midsummer eve. So, I wish you all a great Midsummer. :)

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.

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. :)

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. :)
