Photo with four parts duplicated symmetrically. Done in InCollage. The photo was from four years ago. I like the effect. It’s slightly bizarre and surreal. I might do some more.

What title?
A small papier mache bowl I painted during the week. It’s meant to represent the sun seen through trees, which are the black lines, the green bands are leaves, the blue and white represent sky and the yellow is the sun. But what to call it? I would call it abstract and simple. It’s vaguely art deco? Let me know a title?
Art group
I’m painting a green woman and I’ve been trying to sort out how to differentiate the foreground figure from the background trees. I’ve accentuated the stripes on the bark and made them more black and white than in reality. Since the figure is abstracted in a different way I think it’s starting to work.
Glass
Photo of a drinking glass, it has a ridged blue surface spiralling round the outside. I took this photo looking through it at the TV screen in a darkened room. The curves on the right hand side are my fingers and fingernails. There are pieces of ice at the bottom of the glass. I might put it through apps to see how it comes out.
Busy
A busy abstract pattern that evolved in a couple of apps. Not very neat and tidy and only done this because I couldn’t think of anything else on the busy theme. For prompt “busy” #bandofsketchers
Cactus abstract
I was feeling spiky
A bit annoyed today
Something like a cactus
On a hot summers day.
Then I thought of flowers
The way they emerge
Sometimes out of nowhere
When the cactus has a surge
Of growth when it’s ready
To make a new plant
It made me feel happier
My mood more valiant.
Artrage doodle
Based on a fern plant. Just grey black, white and green using different pens in the Artrage app. Included a metallic background on this abstract drawing.
Yellow tree
My autumn into spring painting at my exhibition. It’s going to a new home as it’s been sold. I love the feeling that someone has found something special about it.
But I have to say I find selling art difficult, it’s not my thing, I’d much rather just create. I think that’s why I paint what I want, I can’t paint the same idea over and over again. I get bored and have to move onto something else.
Swirls
Sketchfu drawing collaged four times. The layers are the circular pens on sketchfu alternating light and dark, then shaded with lower opacity browns and greys to give a 3D effect. I think the result looks quite abstract and alien.
Abstract dragon
I see the yellow spiral as an eye, the greens emphasise the shape. This could be a garden from above. A dragons head?
There is a ground sculpture called Northumberlandia in the Northeast of England in the county of Northumberland. It’s laid out as a figure of a woman in a celtic form and built up in hills which you could do with this image, the orange and yellows could be paths. This is an Artrage app sketch.
