An Art Work A Day

This is the third one which was inspired by a hibiscus plant I got from my last class on graduation day two years ago.
















Abstract inspired by hibiscus in violet

A painting I did to express my joy last weekend being out in the sun painting.

This one is not for sale or as my daughter said - only for a very very good offer. She took one look at it and decided she wanted it herself for her new flat.

This one too was inspired by a hibiscus plant I got from my last class on graduation day two years ago.

This one is inspired by a hibiscus plant I got form my last class on graduation day two years ago. I had a lovely day outside painting all day in the sun so keep coming back to see my work.

Another abstract inpired by the lovely colours and shapes in a rose.

This is one panting which I myself adores. It is meant as an abstract but the inspiration was macro images of roses.

I am nearly done now cataloging and signing and putting contact info etc on every aceo I have in the house. Lots of work especially since I took new photos and cropped and worked them to make them as right and clear as possible which is not always easy with black backgrounds or wet paint. While doing that I came across a few early pastels I made. This is one of them. Kind of cute, in my opinion even if the drawing isn't perfect.

Hi I spent today sighning and cataloging and writing titles and dates etc etc on the back of ACEOs. Incredible how much time that takes. I also tok new photos of many of them. It all took lots and lots of time. The great part is that I found a few aceos that I had forgot I made and I was more happy with them today than when I did them. Here are one of them, the cat and also a new one where I played with textured paper.

Today I noticed that I have had a visitor from Japan. That map is quite interesting. I had to smile because I thought about how truly horrible he probably thought I had used parts of his written language. If you (visitor from Japan) should visit again, then please excuse this newbie.

Yesterday I showed you a couple of ACEOs made with wax meaning that the medium itself was very thick and tactile to touch. Today I went for the textured surface and began my first proper explorations on the wonderful textured papers I bought in England. I can't wait to show you more. I filled I full A4 box with different thicknesses and textures and colours. Pastel i

I am getting hooked on learning kanji, the chines/japanese signs. Studying the socalled yoji jukugo with their often old meaning or wisdom is a great way to learn. I definately need to get some mounts and some nice simple black frames to make these come out properly.

Yesterday, I enjoyed myself watching March of the penguins and made two quick sketches after seeing that movee, and I wanted to share them with you. Hopefully during the week or weekend I'll find time to do better ones because I am not totally satisfied with these.

Here are a few more aceos made in ink during this week. All are 2.5x3.5" painted with a big brush and a stick of chinese ink. Price: $10+p&P each.

One of the best things about painting in oriental style is that it is kind of like meditation. You get lost totally in consentration and time just melts away. You are so focused on the single lines and the brush that you wtop thinking about other things. Great stres reliever LOL. Of course those that have been doing this for years bot see and are able to display much more wonderful brush strokes, but Even as a beginner in his technique I find myself improving bit by bit.

Both paintings:

Hi, today I brought lots of the learn japanese kanji signs to work as well as materials. My students really enjoyed having a go at calligraphy.

My daughter came home for a quick visit today too and the sun was shining all day. In other words life has been very good to me today. Here are a few birds on artist trading cards made by using 240g watercolour paper.

From the top there is Flamingo, Parrot and Heron1 and Heron 2,

I also worked on the 5 elements and hope to show you those tomorrow
