One of a Kind Pieces for One of a Kind people
I had a few days of annual leave from my 9 to 5 this week. With this time I managed to make a few skins in preparation for bigger paintings and to help finish the smaller pieces.
I managed to meet up with old friends for lunches and suppers. It was at these events where I later became struck at how much my social world influences or at least threatens to shape what I do with my art.
Less beautiful people make the best models. This week I discovered how people with more character in their faces contribute to making the most interesting paintings.
This picture is about a life model who had a very amazing head shape. In this painting, I am halfway through and hope to have finished it next Sunday.
I still have fine hair details to include and I must get the interesting skin tones and textures sorted.
Only time will tell whether I manage to do justice to this man’s interesting face. Whatever the outcome I shall post my result in a future post.
This week, my post will speak for itself. It is a movie. You can hear me thinking and stumbling on not being able to say Swarovski Crystals. In this video, you will see that I used emerald green Swarovski Crystals for this emerald green and copper checkerboard painting. I like to create paintings like this, so they are ready to prop on a bookshelf without buying a frame. The dried lavender makes the painting smell wonderful.

We all need something uplifting and sweet-smelling and natural on our bookshelves, don’t we?
