New paintings and regular art updates.
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
You really SNORE!
But I still Love you!
Hubby laughed! I used a red envelope with a white interior and then just used scissors to cut out the heart shape and I made a wide hinge/ flap so I could write all the way round the heart. I couldn’t get a good photo because the lighting casts shadows so it’s a bit twisted. There are quick sketches of a rose and a violet… Anyway it was quick and effective.
Same drawing repeated and coloured. Toooo Close (too close) in red as if a neon sign was lit against a bright green (viral) background. Duplicated to get a feeling of crowded closeness. No one wears a mask. All have faces with staring eyes, All on about the same level so their breathing is near to each other. Title ‘Anxiety 4’,i did three previous sketches.
I wish I lived on the other side of the hill.
Red sky at night! Wish I could have got up the hill. But it faded quickly after taking this shot. I’ve seen a couple of photos on Facebook which were taken by other people.
A gale force wind and storms are forecast for later tonight up in the north of the UK. But that’s mainly Scotland. Hopefully this means that the weather here will be OK. Its still a long time till spring. Lots of cold, wet, windy weather still to come.
After watering these for a few weeks they are blooming. Christmas Cactii that I have on the kitchen windowledge. They don’t all flower at the same time. There has been a progression that started with a dark pink one before Christmas, then a pale white/pink coming up to new year and now these two. I’m not sure whether the light levels affect the flowering. I know I have one that won’t flower till sometime around Easter (if it’s an early Easter). I realise some people don’t like plants in the house, but to me it’s more about adding greenery to your life. The Cactii cheer me up. X
A mobile my friend did for my hubby for his 65th birthday. It hangs in the bedroom window and I just happened to notice it as I took a photo of today’s sunset. I think she did a splendid job. The mobile above it was another one she did of ygdrasil, the world tree. She’s the person who has done wire weaving for some of the glass jewellery I made. I might do more in the new year.
A beautiful indoor winter plant, the red bracts are modified leaves not petals. Its often used as a centerpiece for Christmas decorations. This is a painting I did of one. I remember my mum had one growing in the spare room. I don’t think it likes too much heat? The indoor gardeners here will have a better iidea than I do. It seems to have been taken over in popularity by Amaryllis buls which also flower around this time of year.
Red glitter glue poured in a spiral then dragged out with a small piece of wood. I finally put the image through photodirector to change the texture. Yes I know it looks like a splodge of ketchup… I really want to take a photo of the glittery surface, but my phone doesn’t want to capture it!
Colour theory
Just remember
Orange and blue
Make brown..
Red and green

Yellow and purple

Yellow and blue
Green
Blue Red and a bit of white?
Purple
Colours…
Some sketches from last year. Using various amounts of white along with red and black. I think I added white to make the images easier to see and read. The red is quite a dark tone and it’s hard to see against the black areas. I also think someone who is colour blind might be able to see the images with more white.
Today I was watching celebrity painting challenge and I decided to try and draw the puppet ‘Warhorse ‘, very quick drawing in ArtRage oils, using thick and thin lines to indicate the framework of the puppet, I left the puppeteers out. X
