Look at you,
Star-ing out at me
Flame of yellow eye
Iris shaped and twisted
Sight burnt by the light
Scrunched into a small space
Tears flood your lashes
Dark shadows cast
Hard stare
Thoughtful and sad.
New paintings and regular art updates.

Sometimes I don’t know if a drawing will work. This one seemed to. Used Artrage oils and Sketch apps. Not much more to say really… I had fun!

Bright colours greet
But darker tones calm
Muting strong memories
A face seen by me
Gave me joy.
Sketching fast
Mixing and merging
Growing filaments
Glow metallically.
Digital fun.
A view of my mind….
Or yours?

Or Moth
Flutter by
We love you
When we see you
In the summer
Riding the breeze
On the flowers
Flitting quickly
In the sun

I decided to play with a previous drawing. It’s fascinating how you can rotate and reposition images in Instagram filters. You can make parts of the image recede or come forward. And if I’d wanted to I could have blurred the edges of the image. It also allows you to change the colours and contrast, shadows and brightness. Other apps allow you to do other things. The world is your oyster.

Or is it turquoise? Drawn in ArtRage oils. Finger painting on my phone. One of the challenges with drawing on a phone is if you don’t use a stylus (I can’t find mine) and the tools on this app means the colours smear together. I do have ArtRage on my tablet. That’s the pro version with many more tools but my phone is easier to use as it’s not as heavy on my arm.

Oh what fun to scribble
Into art to dabble
Seeking nothing
Finding fun
Doodled
Lines
Done!

Playing with Artrage oils app. It’s a finger painting. I must find my stylus as I think that might help. I like the combination of blue/ red/green and purple. You can set different brushes, dry and wet, different flows ans also make the ‘paint’ more or less metallic. The less metallic settings allows a lighter colour. Try it for free. Have fun x

Another old pattern, this was done in ArtRage oils and is another Facebook memory that popped up. I think this was done on another phone. I like seeing the way my mind was working a few years ago. More abstract and possibly more experimental than now!

Face, digital drawing from about four years ago. I used to do more of these but I’ve not felt as able to for a while because of my arm shaking. The lines I try and draw go too wobbly. This was drawn in ArtRage oils.
