Northern light and Diagonal

Die cuts!

I visited a second hand store this week and found a lot of what I think is called Die cuts. Lots of cuts and figures in the packages. Among them the horse and wagon I used for my Cinderella paintings 2 years ago. As the shop where I bought them no longer exists I had no way to buy more. So, these followed me home. Took me a few hours to sort them out to see what I can use. The pieces I know I will not use I took back to the store. There were tons of stars and hearts. 💗 They can sell them once more. It is for sharity. 

Ocean! 

For Rains theme Diagonal this week I thought of these die cuts! I had already created the blue background, tempera color on A4 paper. As it looks like water I thought about the cut´s as fish! 

Black and blue background. Tempera on A4 paper. As I had a lot of color on the paper I decided to make it two backgrounds. The diagonal, 😀, patterns comes from the fact I put another paper above this one and flipped it sideways. I used this one for the Aurora below. I have long thought of trying to paint Nothern Light. And, as I always think of Cinderella as Aurora It came in handy. The diecuts are also painted.  Swedish name is Askungen/ "The ash kid"

Aurora!

Cars a rainy day.

Just had some fun with a photo this week. 

I hope everyone is safe. Sun is shining today so I will be outdoors most of the day. 

Take care!

Space

Space, not too far away is Saturn. Painted on a scallop with tempera. 

Space! Two colliding galaxies

Photowork.

Orange background painted with GESSO and acrylic color on a photopaper A4. I tried to cover the paper with gesso before coloring it. It was quite cool as it created the curves and features of the spatula I used to spread it out. I let it be uneaven. Then let it dry before coloring several layers. Took quite some time to finish as every layer has to dry before adding the next one. I was planning to paint some flowers on it but change my mind. 

Instead of painting I search my files for Akleja-Columbine.  I used an old BW image I have.

Akleja!

And this is the final result. Paint and photo combined in PS.

My world can´t decide weather it is winter or spring. And we have a storm coming so I´d rather stay indoors today.

Creases mostly

 Click image to enlarge!

Rains promt for todays TAD is Creases. I checked my files and came up with three I´d like to share. 

Below is my porcelain hand as you probably seen before. 

This one carries a piece of rock and a cone with many cracks.

Cracked light!

Digially created in Photoshop

Creases in a plastic cover at the bus stop. Altered in Photoshop

The once below has creases if you want them too. 😁

Balloon flower 

Painted with tempera on a board A4 in size. 

Purple deer!

I made another backgrund in purple to use. I figured the christmas window decoration matched the colors. So, the deer "moved in". 

We have seen the first sign of spring in Sweden. I am soo glad we actually had three weeks of real winter so now spring seem perfectly timed. So, when finish this post I will head out to enjoy sun and mabe some flowers. I already seen two butterflies and the first Coltsfoot flower. 

Take care. "C" is still present!

The 100 year old that escaped......  (Here on a draisine)

I had a hard time with Rains promt this week. Then I remembered this one. 

It is a Swedish movie based on a book. I read the book and loved it. Not the movie so much as lots of things was excluded. Things I would have loved to watch. Still, it is a fun one. 

Click the link if you want to know more about it. 

The 100 year old...

I did not think I had done much art this week. But checking my files I posted a few on IG. 

SO, I made a collage/mosaic of them. 

What you see is Fallow deer, spiderweb with a dove, floating snow discs and a snowy forest. 

Study in blue

This is the last of my larger canvases. It is 40x40 cm. I was about to keep working on it, but I like it as it is so for now I leave it. 

I still have a few small ones to paint, after that it will probably not be more of them. My walls are filled and there don´t seem to ever be any more exhibitions. The library has been closed several months now and the present Corona situation will probably keep it closed many more months. 

We can´t visit the Library, but we can order books and magazines digitally and recieve them in a safe way. That is a good thing. 

This is a small one 12x18 cm, painted with elftover acrylic colors from the Study in blue. 

I´m pretty sure Andrea will find a few faces in it. 

😂👻

Film Noir and abstract happening

 Click image to enlarge!

Ingrid Bergman

I might be cheating a bit for Rains promt this week when I have an image of Ingrid Bergman, the Swedish actor in many Film Noir movies. 

I remember reading once that the reason for this kind of filming was quite obvious. It was easy and cheep to film as they did not need much props, just turn the light to a minimum. And voila, magic happens. 

NatureFootstep 

My own take on Film Noir. Taken a shot of myself in a Motellroom in Yellowstone in 2017. 

My last trip abroad!

Abstract happening 1

This is created from a background, acrylic paintin A4, rather dull except from the orange color. I took it to Photoshop and added a birch photo and blended it in. 

Abstract happening 2

This is the same background as the one above. But here I went on painting. Painted the animals from stencils and more color. Still not to my liking I fetched some tools from my working days and draw the white lines and curves on it. DONE! 

Those white lines changed the look compleately!

The weather where I live is strange. It has been sunny, and no wind since the snowfall two weeks ago. The snow is still hanging on most of the trees and the forest is dotted with white snow. 

It is weird somehow.  Below is a boardwalk to a birding tower yesterday. 

Take care!

A snowy and chilly week

 Click image to enlarge!

Hi guys. Today I start with Rains TAD promt. Westerns!

You can all see this is Elvis! But what I love about this is his character in the Movie.

 It is Pacer Burton in the movie Flaming star!

I was 15 at this time and madly in love with Pacer. 

💖

       

Snowy world!

This A4 painting on CARBon A4 paper was inspired by some snowdrift I saw on a walk. Stencil and free hand painting!

Sunset!

This painting was inspred by the gorgeous sunset light two weeks ago. 

 acrylics on A4 watercolorpaper 

Panorama landscape!

This was almost too easy! I played a bit with the colors and then changed the proportions. I made the photo lower and longer. And, voila! It looks painted. 

😎

If you want to see the video I took of the sunset light I have it in my other blog, HERE

I hope every one is fine and have a great time! 

What I dislike the most when it comes to Corona is that they constantly, all day long, tells me I am very old and fragile! Pisses me off! I am 75 still going strong!

😠
Sorry about that!
