29 faces Day nine

Today it's another painting of my favourite model my daughter, She doesn't seem to mind sitting still for long periods, which is rather a blessing and so far isn't getting fed up with me asking to draw her!!
This time I have stylised her a little and made a Klimtesque style homage. I am a huge lover of Klimt.

I would have loved to spend time on all the intricate patterns in the background but as usual time is short!!

29 faces Day eight

Today brings a bit of sea air, a taste of salt seaspray and my Seasprite.

She is painted on card with collaged bookpapers as a background and lots of glitter!! I am a great believer that a bit of glitter goes a long way :) I used crackle medium on her face for a weathered look.

29 faces day seven

The paradise of colour, gouache and ink

The 29 faces challenge rolls on and today another tribute to another of my favourite artists. Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
Born in Vienna in 1928 died in 2000. For me Hunderwasser uses with such mastery my favourite medium ....

Colour!!

' A colourful world is always a synonym for paradise'  Hunderwasser

my piece is  a take on 'Wintergiest' painted in 1966 it is a wonderful mixed media work click HERE to take a look at my inspiration.
I would have loved to spend more time messing about with layers and colours, however the clock ticks on and the challenge continues....

29 faces day six

The 29 faces challenge continues, doing 29 faces in 29 days is certainly making me think about how to represent faces in a different way. I thought it time to try a bit of something different so
today a bit of an abstract work. Sillouette cut paper faces based on the florentine statue I posted yesterday. Used a bit of acrylic over the top of the collaged paper.

My little thistle card will be on its way to Finland ASAP

29 Faces Day five

This is a piece inspired by my trip to Italy earlier in the year. I visited Florence and was amazed to find this giant statue!
It was in Boboli gardens set in the grounds of the Pitti palace and is by Igor Mitora

This is me beside it to give you a sense of scale!

It has such a strong powerful presence i thought i'd give it a little softness and some pink stencilled flowers. Not sure if it works, but I can always do another version!
