Splash your colour everywhere
Brighten the world
Pink and red and yellow
Purple and orange too.
Spring is here
The world is green
But tulips
Give the world joy.
New paintings and regular art updates.

My ageing left hand. Monoprint in black acrylic of my right hand, then drew round my left hand on top of that, cut it out, stuck a couple of post it notes on the page underneath and shaded with felt pens, then stuck the hand down and added black ink texture to it.

Just some spring flowers on the upstairs windowsill. Freezias smell lovely. Fresh scent. It’s nice to buy plants that are a bit different. They are indoor plants unless it’s warm enough outside (above 1°C). But as we are having continuous frosty nights I have kept them in.

Seen on a walk:
Purple
On rock
And
Stone
Curtain
Of colour
Life in its glory
Joyous
Strength
Growth
Garden Wall.

Just playing with post it notes and cut out paper. I wanted to make something fun and silly. I don’t think the bear is aggressive and the bee is buzzing and not bothered. The bee hasn’t been swatted. The bear has teeth but is just looking on, probably admiring it’s honey collecting skills. The bear might go and steal its honey though!

Strange creatures. Playing with mono prints and post it notes, making abstract shapes and animals x, then using black marker pens.
Rather tired tonight after only getting a couple of hours sleep. Then I went for a walk! Shattered.

Just playing with a photo of nasturtium leaves. I mirrored the image, then put it through photodirector, making it halftone, then using a circular dispersion tool to break the pattern up even more. It ooks like pixels on a TV screen. Granular and interesting.

This is what I started out with.

Mural of flowers
Bright and beautiful
Who was the artist
Who loved colour
Expressed joy
Have to their community
Shared happiness.
I’m glad to see it
As I walk past.

Turning a tree into a bug… Photograph of a tree last week, I decided to mirror it in four sections. I deliberately centered on the blue in the background which I also think gives a feeling of a stained glass window.

Tonight we had to sketch each other in hats. I decided to use post it notes as a background, with graphite stick and black ink calligraphy pen. My mistake was not to glue the squares down, so as these were five minute sketches I had to glue before I coukd draw! One if them I deliberately didn’t stick down so I could move the pieces around after I’d finished drawing….
