Laying Cable

 Laying Cable

(acrylic on canvas board, 8 x 8 in)

If you're a painter, are you ever surprised by how your paintings turn out? I know my many interests feed into my work and with this I probably detect the influence of children’s book Illustration. A good deal of this must be to do with the switch to acrylic paint which lends itself to bright clear passages of colour.

New Wall Painting (WIP 2)

 

Wall (WIP)

(Mixed media on 30x30cm board)

Despite a determination to make progress with this painting, I got caught up in the hectic “fun” of having a new kitchen fitted, and that inevitably definitely meant a delay.

However, yesterday I felt able to move along this textured wall piece with some watercolour paper, some paint and mark making.

Closed Indefinitely

(mixed media on board, 30 x 30 cm)

Another of my new paintings of old doors, celebrating the textural qualities of weathered wood, flaking paint and rusting metal.

This one was made using acrylic paint, tissue paper, paper collage, acrylic gel, Posca Pens and coloured inks.

(mixed media on board, 30 x 30 cm)

As I said last month, I enjoyed making the painting, Door Textures, and decided to make more of these texture pieces. This one uses acrylic paint, paper collage, Posca Pens, coloured inks and acrylic gel.

Norma's Circle Book

My latest pages and additions to Norma's Sketchbook Circle book. This time I used a combination of collage, acrylic paint (both direct and pressed onto pieces of paper, then cut out), rubber stamps, washi tape, packaging tape and sticky shapes.
