Painting is my JOY

I haven’t named her yet. I added wings to her that I really like.
It’s always interesting finding the right girl for the setting. I don’t pre plan anything really, I just start to paint. The collage helps as I dislike a blank white canvas, its cold and uninviting.
Sometimes the collage behind dictates where things are going to go, but overall, I just add what I want and keep adding until I feel like its full and happy.
I think my favourite part is the hand drawing at the end. Adding small details to the florals.
Just start painting….its good for the soul.

I’ve called this one Audrey. It’s my favourite at the moment. I recently had a giclee print made of it and framed it in a white frame.

This is a small 8″x10″ mixed media piece on a wood panel. I enjoy creating these pieces using collage and lots of layers of paint, ink, crayons, pens and pencils.

I am drawn to the bright colours and don’t really think too much when I’m painting, I naturally reach for the colours and even when I feel I want to tone it down, I still end up with something bright.

So I just go with the flow now.

This is my first larger size piece and I really enjoyed the process. My daughter asked me for one of my pictures to go in her room and I kept putting it off as she wanted a big canvas. Eventually she said she’d help me collage the background…and we spent a little bit of time together collaging this big canvas. I really enjoyed it.

I don’t have an easel so it was easiest to paint on the couch with a ottoman under the canvas, I now have bought an easel as this became hard on the back!!!
My colours are not for the faint hearted, the brighter the better, they make me smile.
I used lots of layers.
This is the finished piece in Ellas room.

I’m starting a new large canvas this weekend.
