little houses and grasses



I have been keeping busy making more little wooden collaged panels.






I used lots of gold papers and gilt flakes on this little piece.


It is a little larger than my usual wooden pieces.





During the summer I spent time gathering and drawing grasses and seed-heads ( sorry about photo quality, this was drawn outside and photographed on my mobile)
 For me landscapes are about wide open space punctuated by details. Flowers, little houses and grasses.



The grasses have lots of crackle glaze over them. If you look carefully you can see some of the text paper under the glaze. I love how layering can reveal secrets.


And two more panels to add to the mix.... These two are smaller.



More patterns peep through the layers.


I am really enjoying painting little houses in my landscapes at the moment and combining them with paper layers of pattern and texture.

Hello to everyone visiting from Paint party friday

  1. What beautiful little panels. I love the finished version but I would be equally happy with the unfinished version on my wall as I think it's so beautiful at that stage too. I also love the seed heads on the last one - they remind me of late summer - I can almost smell the fresh air and feel the warmth on me!

  13. These are so beautifully coloured and patterned and very unusual.
    I especially like the last one with the little houses and the exotic flowers in the meadow.
