Tie Dying!

2011-09-17T13:00:00.000+02:00

We had so much fun spending the morning tie dying! Buckets of colour on the table, everyone getting their hands dirty.
And everyone's t-shirts turned out so differently even though we were following the same process.
Every t-shirt was unique!

Mural, Winnie the PoohTree

The whole room was painted this green and I spent what felt like ages mixing yellows that would read against the bright green.

Mural, Golden Gate Bridge

2009-07-08T10:43:00.000+02:00

A few years ago I helped paint this mural of The Golden Gate Bridge.
Melany airbrushed the water and city and I painted the bridge.

Mushrooms

2009-07-08T10:39:00.000+02:00

This is an oldie from one of my sketchbooks.
There are always mushrooms popping up in our garden and I used to go around the garden drawing them.

My Little Helper

2009-07-08T10:31:00.000+02:00

My brother's cat has this loopy addiction to paint and brushes and paint water. The moment she hears a brush moving across the canvas she appears next to me from nowhere! She then proceeds to dip her paws into the bottle of paint water or worst the paint, drags my brushes across the table, bristle end in her mouth. Or tries to attack the paint brush behind the canvas.
Otherwise she just sits, staring unblinkingly.
Loopy!

Graphite is my favourite medium to work in. It can be worked with in so many different ways.

Untitled Wedding Present

2009-01-25T20:03:00.001+02:00

This acrylic painting was a wedding present for my friends.
A1
2005
I tried to paint something that reflected them.

Bright colours used in a dramatic arbitrary way, less traditional than my usual style,
using oranges for the earth, complimentary to the sky's blues
(many, many layers of paintwork underneath)
Maybe I was subconsciously reflecting their competitiveness with each other.
Love you guys! ;)

It was a tree from our garden that unfortunately had to be removed as it was making a nuisance of itself.
