2013 roundup

Hello hope you all had a lovely Christmas!
As we are almost at the years end I thought I would have a little look back at what the past year brought and post a few pieces you may have missed.


Feeling fizzy
January... cold.. very cold, I really don't like the cold. Nor do I like the post Christmas blues, so this piece was painted to brighten me up. It uses all the colours I miss in winter. Just looking at it makes me feel I'm under a heat lamp!

view from the ufitzi
February.... an exciting month! I had a big birthday and travelled to Florence as a birthday treat. The highlight of my trip was a visit to the ufitzi art Gallery. Home to the 'Birth of Venus' This collage was inspired by the view of the Doma from the ufitzi roof terrace.( My goodness the coffee was expensive, but the view was worth it! )



March..... March was cold and sad, a dear friend passed away. 
I went on a great lino printing course and used some of my lino printed paper to make this Gustav Klimt inspired collage


April.... April brought experiments with citrasolv, this is my little cat Matilda painted onto citrasolv paper.


May..... may was warm and beautiful....this is fishing for dreams, a birthday gift.


June.... one of my favourite months, and the weather was glorious, I painted much of this piece outside in the sunshine on my easel, just looking at it reminds me of warm sunny days.



July.... I finished this piece called 'the sound of Raasay'


     
August brought my eagle of Storr collaged on canvas out of tiny pieces of paper.
  
September and a new challenge, to create 29 faces in 29 days! Here are just a few.

    
October... and some whimsy and one of my 'summer on skye' pieces.

 
November.... unseasonal but I carried on with my Summer on Skye theme,.

                             
December... And one of my Christmas presents! I didn't make this,well not exactly, it was a present from my daughter. She found a lady on etsy who decoupaged boxes and asked her to combine some of my work (Along with klimt) onto a box. I love it!! If you want to find her website it is
Belle cards and gifts

        Thank you to all my Blog friends for sharing my creative year and a very Happy New Year to you all!!   Thank you to to Paint party Friday Who I am linking up to for my final post of 2013.
