A couple of days off…

Artrage app finger painting

A few days ago it would have been my hubby’s birthday. He is not here anymore and I felt too sad to blog here. Also my phone is playing up so I might struggle to post till I get a new battery, which means finding somewhere to do that. I don’t want a replacement for my phone (or hubby). I prefer to get things fixed if I can.

My hubby was not fixable, I can’t tell you how much I wish things had been different. I still feel lost without him. I think grief is not controllable, you have to go with its ways, sometimes succumbing to  the pain…. Despite wanting to make it go away. I just want to remember him always, even if I do feel blue….

More work

I decided to try and improve this painting because it was too reflective and the metallic copper sheet it was painted on was showing through too much. I seem to have worked reasonably well but it took effort to get the acrylic paint to stick onto the surface, but that was the problem on the original picture. Acrylic on a metallic surface.

Profile doodle.

Not an image of me but a finger painting of the side of a face. I used both Artrage and Sketchbook apps to do this. It’s a while since I drew something in one app and completed it in the second one. If I like I might use another app to do some more work to it. It’s definitely a finger painting, no stylus used.

Playing with texture

I do like editing photos of my art digitally. I can play with textures and patterns. The app I use, photodirector, keeps saying the particular tool I use will not be available in its next iteration. I’m not sure if it changes that I will carry on using it, but while it’s still on I will. I think this looks a bit like a mountain made of ice cream and fruit juice. X
