Trees n seas

 Click image to enlarge!
Wetland forest
This is a photo that I edited with "Split toning" in PS. This means you give different colors to highlight and dark areas. In this case blue and green.

In the sea
I bought an old canvas and painted on it with my silvery, tempera colors. It´s a bit shiny but I like the colors.  Canvas 30x30cm

Dusk
This is an image I got in my head when I woke up the other day. I clearly saw the white circle and the dark trees. I call it Dusk but I don´t really know if it is dawn or dusk or the sun or moon. :) But, who cares?  :)

Happy Easter and this weeks art

Deer under the Tree
White tempera on black canvas 20x20cm

 Emotional meltdown - Känslomässig härdsmälta
Grained paper A5
One morning at breakfast my brain presented me with "Emotional meltdown" Two days later I tried to paint it. I used only three colors, Black,red,yellow which I think represent a quick destruction. Which was proved in Paris this week. :(

The Seesaw - Gungbrädan
Canvas 20x20cm
This happend as I had the decoration gravel and the white Seesaw. I had some troubble with the thick paint but finally I got it too work.


Happy Easter! - Glad Påsk!

Earlier in life I always painted my Easter eggs with tiny chickens. Thought I´ll do it this year too even if I had no guests   :)

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. :)

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
