Completed mixed media paintings
This is what evolved from the “playing” painting I blogged about last week. A zebra-like goat and a lion-like sheep. This is the fun part of not working towards painting a pre-planned creature. The process surprises and energises me and I have already started preparing more scribbles and collage “base” paintings to be developed into, as yet, unknown creatures. I am quite please with the purple cat and the silly big-headed doggie. I am still deciding what to use the images for … perhaps a little silly-story book for kids.
he does not have a name yet, any ideas?
this crazy cat also needs a name …
yes, that is a very short legged doggie on the left.

playing, playing and more …
Some more examples of “play-time” in the studio. I am using arcrylic paint, arcrylic clear glaze, tea leaves, tissue paper, glue, coloured cellophane, marker kokis and anything that will stick to paper! They are all A3 size and hopefully my Left Brain will loosen up enough to start coming up with some great funky ideas!
The idea is to not really think about making something specific and not worrying about what the end result is going to look like. This is quite ahrd and can be frustrating because our minds are programmed to work according to a plan and to receive good results for the effort done.
tea leaves, arcrylic glaze and more on paper
the studio gets shared with 2 mountain bikes!
we will have to wait and see what this baby turns into!
kind of a dog?
