From blank canvas to finished masterpiece - how my next art series is coming to life.
Painting during summer, when the kids are at home, is always challenging. I’ve got a big girl of eleven and a little boy of five. I’m happy to report that this week, I managed to complete two paintings and that this month’s collection is unfolding smoothly!
I’m painting for this month’s collection. I plan to release eight small paintings, six medium ones and a large one. Maybe more, depending on the frames I’ll find. I love thrifting and decided to combine my love for vintage and for art, by offering paintings in thrifted frames, for this new collection.
These two are done, yay 🎉🎉🎉 I also finished another painting from a future series, which is more abstract. I intend to sell them through my dream gallery. I’ll show them to you, soon!
I loooove how the blue forget-me-nots flowers turned out. I have to paint the background on the carrot too. I really enjoyed painting the light on the carrot. The leaves were a little bit tricky. We’ll see how it will turn out with the background. I hope to finish these two and the tomato (not pictured here) this week!
I made some real good progress on my painting for January’s exhibition. It will take place in Philadelphia, United States, the theme is ‘Open’ and the pieces must not exceed 10x10". I love the subtle colour gradient of the round figure and the light on the leaf shapes. I’ve still got the background to paint and my beloved black trait and I will be done, hopefully next week 🤞🏽
These are the last two pieces of this month’s series. Hubby cut the wood and I painted them with gesso. Next step is drawing and I still don’t know what will be the two last paintings. Fruits? Veggies? Flowers? Stay tuned!
This collection will launch on the 31st of August, except for my newsletter subscribers, who will have first access on the 30th. You can become a subscriber by clicking HERE.
Much Love 💕
