painting ....

Well, my new canvas got a few more layers since last week. This is how it looks now:

I really enjoy working on such a big surface, even though it's hard to handle sometimes with all the turning of the canvas I always do :-)

Here are some detailpics:

These'll probably end up in my Society6-shop as all over-shirts or duvet covers. I love playing with all these different layers and seeing unexpected things pop up :-)

But from now on I won't have much time to play with my canvas anymore. That's because we finally found a house! Since we came back from Australia (almost a year ago now) we have been living in the house of my second-eldest sister, which stood empty because she moved in with her boyfriend. We wanted to build our own house, but it was not easy finding a piece of land that was nice as well as affordable (Belgium is one of the most densily populated countries on earth ....). In the end we decided to buy a house and found one that really spoke to us, and last Monday we received the key! Now it's wall painting for a while, although I'll still keep working on my canvas in between.

I also started my new calendar for the year 2016. I always use images from the paintings that I made in the year before, but this year, due to our move to Belgium and due to my workshop in Soulfood, I only finished three paintings up till now. Luckily I have been doing a lot of artjournaling at the start of the year, so I will use those images. They look a bit "less finished" that the ones from my paintings, that's why I decided to make 2 calendars this year: one with images of paintings and art journal, and one with sketches. They will look very different, so there will be something for everyone's taste :-)

Here are 2 pages that I finished already:

 from my painting "A world that I long to see"

from a journalpage

I love making these calendars. I'll show all of the pages when I finish them.

Well, that's it for now, not much more to show. I'll be linking this to Paint Party Friday and to Show your Face, even though I made these faces a while ago. That won't matter I hope ...

Thanks so much for your visit! I hope this week's funny wil bring a smile to your face:

 hahaha, so recognizable :-)

Wishing you a glorious day, and a relaxing weekend ahead of you! Go do something you enjoy!
See you next week ♥ ♥ ♥
