Motion and movement

 Hello creative friends

Flicking through unfinished journal pages I came 

across this rice paper image of two ballet dancers. 

How graceful they look, lost in the moment. 

Stencil marks surrounding them almost slows down their motion, 

calculating every movement. With gold stenciled gesso and gems 

it seems to add to the drama like a huge spotlight on stage.

I love how the white highlights track and trace their steps. 

The words *They gave no more thought* provokes emotion

for us to imagine their story through our own eyes... 

Wishing you well this weekend, 

Stay safe & creative 

Hugs Tracey xx

Mona my way..

 Hello everyone, 

I'm very grateful to be back online after some frustrating days, 

thought i'd share my twist on an old master by da Vinci. 

 

I call it *Mona my way.. *

It all started with a Bee Crafty Mona Lisa Artstamp, stamped onto 

rice paper and pasted to a page, the rest kind of ... just happened. 

Capturing her backdrop with delicate watercolour, heavy gouache 

and acrylics adding in extra detail with pencil and pen. 

Holding a handful of paintbrushes, I like to think she 

helped to paint that imaginary scene behind her.. 😊

As it's Paint Party Friday's 10th Birthday Blogoversary she's wearing 

her Party hat especially for Kristin and EVA . I've been known to wear 

that very same hat myself @ a previous PPF Party 😁

Take care & be safe everyone 

Creative Hugs 

Tracey xx
