New Project.

Progress on this painting has ceased as Ive run out of paint again. Its an expensive hobby this. Ive used an entire bottle of white paint in 3 hours. Not really sure where to go with this but Im going to leave it for today and see what happens.

Landscape


Fancied a wee change. Unlike most of my other paintings this is land not sea, and bright not dark and moody. This piece is unfinished think needs some touch ups.

La Vie En Rose


This is a little sunset painted on canvas board. It is thin enough to be framed or could be hung as it is. Paint was applied really thick and colour choice is the result of running out of blue paint. Size A2.

Air Born

I dont really know what to say about this piece. Its just my mad imagination. Again its Acrylic on canvas. Quite a large piece. Think the air balloon may be in trouble.

Lightening House.

Ive ran out of blue paint for just now so the seas and sky's are out of fashion for just now. This painting is sadly already sold but just letting you all have a wee look. Its a light house in a lightening storm. Canvas was 4 different paintings before this final outcome so the paint is very thick and textured.

So after the weekends excitement its back to studying and painting. This is a little (huge) something im working on. Basically i want it to be a really cloudy sky with a cheeky bird but all sort of smudged to make it look like its raining. This is the idea anyways...quite often i start off painting something and it comes out an entirely different thing. I feel this one may take all week so ill keep you all posted on how its going.

Parisa.


This is another peacock painting. I work from imagination so i seem to end up painting the same things. I names this painting Parisa as the name means bird of paradise and it is also my best friends name. I like the colours but would have like a few warmer tones to be present. I may go back to this painting to touch it up.

I textured this canvas before i painted on it using thick lines of acrylic paint. I then painted over this which gives it an nice rough look. Due to the camera quality i dont think it is obvious in this picture. There is not much in the painting but i felt it was finished and i try to stick with my instinct with paintings in fear i may over work them.
