I have been working on this big canvas for a while now, painting a few smaller canvases in between as I have no patience for drying paint. I like to keep working if Im in the mood for painting and if I have to wait for paint to dry, i just start work on another canvas. so this has taken a few months to complete.Its vivid colour and not for the faint hearted! So much to look at, lots of little interesting pieces to move your eye around.I don’t use a lot of blue and purple but wanted to step out of my comfort zone with this one.That main large pink flower was repainted several times…..but this one made me happy.What feeling do you get when you look at my paintings? Do they make you smile because of the colours or do you cringe from the bright colours? lol Some tiny details in here when you spend time looking. Theres the collage at the back and then the little detail florals and stripes and dots.I use Posca pens for my detailing.Theres also some stencilling in the background.I hope this painting has brightened your day.
Bold beautiful colour right here. When I start creating my art, I use collage because I don’t like blank white space, it is overwhelming for me. I collage with vintage papers, maps, books, stamps, sheet music and torn pieces of my older work. If you look “through” the paintings you will sometimes see glimpses of my older work in the backgrounds.I don’t start with a plan, I just get the paint out and start. The paintings evolve as I paint. I never know what I’m going to end up with. My mind actually “RESTS” when I paint, and I always feel good after I have painted and rested.
I’m on holidays for 6 weeks. If you are interested in my art, please email or message me. I am currently taking orders for IXXI using my artwork. See previous post.
My new IXXI is up in my bedroom and I love it. It took about an hour to install and was pretty easy.This is the box it arrived in. Its from the Netherlands and did not take long to arrive at all, a little over a week.It looks like a lot, but once you set yourself up, it is fun and takes no time at all.These are the special tiles made of luxury polymer paper. Everything is 100% recyclable, including the packaging.I chose 20cmx20cm tiles but you can also get 10cmx10cm tiles. This is the only blank wall in my house, so it was going here. I do not like blank walls!The first bit was a learning curve, but pretty easy. I did make a slight error and measured wrongly, so its a bit to the right of the space between the windows, but I’m ok with that. I will know next time.Once you get the top row done it’s a breeze and doesn’t take long at all.And there it is! Hope you love it as much as I do. Happy crafty weekend friends.
love evy
