One of a Kind Pieces for One of a Kind people
Short one this week as blogging from my phone as my laptop died and I cannot decide whether to buy an I pad or laptop.
Meanwhile I’m back in the swing of painting and making as I settle into my new 9 to 5 role. It’s amazing what a rested mind will do for art and creativity.

I’m influenced by Japanese paintings, I guess, by the look of these two. I do like doing subtle brush strokes and for this I mostly used the socket filler brush and a fan shadow brush.
Continuing my experiments with a painted grey background this fantasy landscape. I have no other words for it except that the marks are mesmerizing remind me of fine gold jewel like trees and a turquoise blue martian (perhaps) moon.
When looking at this its surprisingly easy to bring more images to from your imagination as you try to fathom out the landscape that might exist in the hinterland.
I feel I’m getting better at adding vertical and horizontal lines which is a real departure from the usual sweep curves across the page.
I’m calling this collection the fantasy acrylic landscape.
From an overnight thought of contemplating what painting would I have if I had a metal tarrarium and industrial chic furniture with rose gold metal legs.
So I created a collection of seven pieces within this theme. I was surprised to see how each piece appears to fit together nicely. Bit like the kind of wallpaper you’d see on 60 minute makeover.
This time last week, I brought this painting home. You see I had joined a deep art work project. I think the philosophy is about the functionality of art. But some of them described it as going deep into the painting and just switching off from the outside world, no distractions, they said and not phones. I kind of took that as my signal not to chat and paint at the same time. So I went deep ( you could say) into creating this with my fabric paints and some acrylics i had to hand like true red (which looks like magenta) and gold metallic.
When it can time to pass around the Minstrals (chocolate button sweets for sharing) then it seems were were able then come out focus to talk.
Many said they liked this. I rather like it too.
You see the day before I had learned how to do the special I painting method and how to put the colors together so that there was balance and an appealing composition. So far my learning about doing acrylic art paintings seems to be working. I think this is my favorite of all the pieces I have done so far.
Next time I shall use less fabric paint and more acrylic. But the mix is interesting as fabric paint gives a flat matt finish which helps the gloss of the acrylic and metallic gold stand out.
