This is the one that's finished:
It's small, only 12x19,5cm (4,7"x7,7"). I'm experimenting a bit with new sizes and formats.
This is the new one I started:
Lots of little details in the beginning, but I so love to see how it looks all together. I want to get it finished by next week Friday, so I can take it with me to the gallery.
In between, I've also been working on my second canvas from Tracy's workshop. I'm experimenting with negative painting, and leaving the positive space as much as possible as it was. I will have to bring details out a bit more but I'm going to try to change as little as possible. I'm really enjoying this, the nice thing is I only need white paint at the moment, so I can do it in between all other kinds of things, like cooking. Doesn't take much room and makes no mess. That's quite handy every now and then :-)
This is where I am right now:
That's it for this week. Don't forget there's still a sale going on in my Society6-shop. Free shipping worldwide, the cards are on sale at the moment and from tonight there will be 5$ off all tees, tanks and V-necks. This sale will be on until Monday at midnight PDT.
Here are some products from my shop:
throw pillows, with or without insert
different models of tops
wall clocks
... and so much more. Have a look, the quality is superb!
Thanks so much for visiting! I'll link this to Paint Party Friday, go over there to have a look at the diversity of artprojects people created this week!
Hope you'll have a wonderful weekend ahead of you! Enjoy your day ♥ ♥ ♥

Wonderful work, love your mosaics, looks like a lot of work! Valerie
ReplyDeleteYour mosaic is gorgeous and so rich with colour!
ReplyDeleteI love your mosaic it is so beautiful, I love mosaics of all kinds but yours are so unique. Do you make your own tiles? they look so unusual I can't believe they were bought ready made.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-) Yes, I make my own tiles. But for the mirror in the middle, I bought the tiny little tiles that I'm doing now. Sometimes I mix them up with glass tiles, but usually it's just handmade tiles.
DeleteLove your mosaic, I was going to ask the same question as Morag! Perhaps you could do a step by of your mosaics as you do with your paintings. The negative shapes in white create a really fascinating effect. Be interesting to see how it goes. Love your gallery work.
ReplyDeleteThanks! My mosaics are always spread out in time, starting with buying mirrors, sawing the shapes, making the tiles, preparing the shapes, and only then do I start the "real" mosaicing. Usually I don't make pictures from start to finish. But I'll try to remember next time ;-)
DeleteHoly canoli! Love the mosaic work! Those colors are to die for!
ReplyDeleteLove your mosaic mirror and love, love your work in progress. Happy PPF, Annette x

Lovely mosaic's. That is something I have never tried. Your painting looks great I love a little white space.
ReplyDeleteYour patchwork mosaic is terrific. Your negative painting is very intriguing, that looks like a difficult technique, but here you have already such good and unusual results.
ReplyDeleteYou do have such a beautiful sense of colour. The mosaics are stunning especially the circular central one. Great work on the negative spaces. Beautiful strong flowy shapes created.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work....I'm excited to see what the gallery set up looks like...wow those mirrors are stunning...and I love the new painting...such an interesting style!!

Your mosaics looks stunning, and that new painting is interesting as well. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to make my own polymer clay tiles - you inspire me. Painting with negative space really gives you a fresh eye when you look at things. I love where the painting is right now.
ReplyDeleteOh heyyy, your mosaic work is beautiful! And Congrats with your new shop! :)
ReplyDeleteI will go and have a look. I was earlier thinking of a shop to put some of my works in..
But it came to be only words and thoughts.. so far.. :)
And I like your paintings as well! :)
ReplyDeleteAgain you have amazed me with your talent. Your art is always so interesting and inspiring. Can't wait to see that second mosaic finished. I will go look in your shop. hhmmm rugsss???
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend

Denthe, wonderful art works this week. The mosaic is so beautiful. I'll be watching to see how the new one turns out.
ReplyDeleteYour mosaic work is very special and beautiful. I wouldn't have that kind of patience :) Love your painting with the white and am so looking forward to seeing the end result!
ReplyDeleteLots of great color with your mosaic. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThe mosaic is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like the negative painting too - the white and all the colors are really nice together.
Have a nice weekend - and thank you very much for the nice comment on my blog :)

ReplyDeleteDente, je weet me keer op keer te verassen, dat is op zich al kunst!
ReplyDeletewat maak jij mooie dingen prachtig!!

Christiene....
Love YOUR negative take on Tracy's workshop. Your style is front and center and this adds a different dimension. Great mosaic(polymer?) xox
ReplyDeleteNegative painting is hard. It's like thinking backwards, and I have a hard time doing it. Looking forward to seeing what you do.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaic work and work in progress.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how this painting turns out,I'm a big fan of both yours and Tracey Vendugo's work. I'm really hoping to take one of her workshops in Texas next year.
