my head's a hurricane

Yes! I'm back into painting! So much so that I just want to paint all day and do nothing else. Which is not possible of course. But I enjoy every minute that I do have time. I finally continued on my larger canvas. Here's a detail that's about finished:


I did two layers of white already, but in some places I'll have to do 3 I'm afraid.... I will now first work on the figures and birds, and I'm hoping to get it all ready by next week!

I also did a new journalpage. It started like this:

text and words written on there in different ways

adding a bit of collage and paint

more text written all over the pages, and random black lines painted with a small stick I found while walking the dog

I kept seeing this figure in there and a very big arm, so I brought them out

two birds of course too ....

trying to quieten down the background, and adding some more collage

finished!
Do you see how that fluo orange on top and in his arm has disappeared? That's because of the scan (the other ones were pictures), it is still there in reality. I've only just noticed it now. My scanner always does that, it never shows fluo colours. Which is a drag since I love fluo colours. Guess I'll have to remember to take pictures instead ... 

And last but not least: my weekly sketch :-)


Felt like giving her some freckles but it's not very visible on the scan.

That's it! If I keep up this almost daily creating I'll be very happy :-)

Linking to Paint Party Friday, thanks to Eva and Kristin who keep this party going!

And thanks to you who visits here! I'll end with my range of funnies for this week :-)










And the more serious ones:





That's it! Hope you're having an amazing day! Take care and I'll be back next week ♥ ♥ ♥

  10. It's always amazing to me to see how you progress from beautiful splashes of color to paintings of people and animals. Also, I wish I had 1/10th of your drawing ability. The sketch is super.

  20. Oh, yay! You're painting again! I've always found that dry spells are followed by a large gush, and it's difficult to stop once I start again.

  21. Yay! So glad you're back into painting! I always find I want to paint when I don't have the time or access. I think that's just me messing with myself... :)
