I made a hack! Two Ikea wardrobes (jonaxel) doing a great job repurposed as art studio drying racks.

Drawing intuitively
Drawing intuitively in charcoal. It wasn’t until later I noticed I had subconsciously drawn a covid19 molecule in there!
Ooooh!
Things are happening…
Funny influences
My latest painting work-in-progress. Possibly a little influenced by the scarf I was wearing?
Colour mixing
Mixing a dark moody grey from ultramarine blue, red, yellow and white acrylics only; it’s not as easy as it looks.
Experimentation
Experimenting with colour and marks, I love this section of the painting.
Autumn flowers
Friday’s collaging. I am busy working on an Autumn collection of painting featuring roses from my garden.
Back to school
All ready to get straight into it, for three hours of preschool tomorrow.
Is it done?
How do I really know when a painting is finished?
Purple haze
I continue to paint when I can, I’m currently immersed in purples and the scent of lavender. I’m experimenting with scale, colour combinations and printed collage papers. I’ve been reading about surface pattern design, which is where I began at art college at sixteen-years-old, and it seems to be inadvertently having an influence on the painting compositions. I’m having fun! Here is a little peak at the work in progress.
Hide-in-the-shed-and-create-time
Friday afternoon! Phew. Much needed creative time. Today I printed some beautiful collage papers for my next painting, including sewing pattern paper gifted from @thatcanadiangirl (#thankyou), it’s really strong stuff even when wet. Excited for what comes next…
