Paint my world

Hello everyone 

I'm so sorry I've been absent in blogland family ties 

have kept me extremely busy from the onset of 2022. 

House hunting, viewings and preparing to downsize 

my MIL, it's just a small part of my world this year. 

Away from my creative space I've been doodling down my 

days on anything destined for the recycle bin, painting 

with a very limited watercolour & gouache palette. 

Let me share a little of my January with you..

First a self portrait painted on brown packaging, it depicts how 

I really need (want) to show my creative space and materials more 

love in 2022 and use up what I already have around me...

Out with the uncomfortable, old, unfixable chair and in with the new..

The cleaning out of closets discovering boxes unopened from 1999 

full of old books and encyclopedia's from my late Father in Law..

Catching my breath from dusty closets days to take in those mild sunny ones..

putting my feet up so late in the evening falling asleep in that new 

comfy chair dreaming of what to do with thirteen A4 encyclopedias..

It's just a small part of my painted world this January.. 

I've very much missed you all and looking 

forward to seeing how you are and what 

you've all been creating.. 

Catch up with you all asap.. 

Creative Hugs

Paint Party Friday 

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
