Tulips with Blue Glass.
Okay, just finished up on my most recent piece! I’ve experimented with crinkled tissue paper, glue, translucent and opaque layers, dimantes and even toilet paper (for the frame!!). I drew the lines on first with the black gutta and tissued over and started by blacking the whole thing (see below). Then it has been a series of acrylic layers, trials and adjustments to bring the whole piece together. I’ve learned a lot about technique through this painting – a lot about layers, about adding then taking away and just leaving a residue. I love how well the stencil turned out on the table cloth.

Me & My Gal.
I’ve completed this painting with such ease!! And I have of course, (as expected) really enjoyed the process. Making sure I have achieved being ‘in the zone’ before I have started has helped me work better and I have done this through my intentions (thoughts), listening to audio (music and spoken word) and setting the correct working environment with little distraction. I’ve been trying hard this week to keep myself grounded and I have felt in touch with myself (my true self!) most of the time, which I feel is an achievement with so much uncertainty around me at the moment. We went to view nine houses at the weekend and had four viewings of our home last week! I think we have got definite interest in ours but we still have no where to go. We are travelling down to Nottingham this afternoon to view another house and I’ve got a really good feeling about this one! I’m excited! It’s hard to stay in the moment and prevent oneself from living in a future projected world in times like this. Read more…
