The earth has music for those who listen

Yes! I finished my painting! It's going to be a picture-heavy post, so be prepared! If you don't want to see all the pics,  scroll down to the bottom to see the complete painting ;-)


This one was just plain fun. I drew some things in advance but most was just going with the flow.


Whenever I felt like using different colours I moved to another part and continued there.


For me this painting was a real colour party. I'm not even sure I'm completely finished with it. I might add some lines or dots in some places or add some more details  ...


And then again I might just leave it as it is :-)


There's an abundance of colours and details on there already, but it's quite addictive to keep adding ;-)


Maybe I just need to start a new one really soon, so as not to go totally overboard with this one ...


This is the last detail picture. I'll move on to the in-progress-pics after this!


I don't have many in-progress-pictures. I did take quite a few from small parts of the painting, but not from the painting as a whole. But, you' ll get the idea.

This is how I started:


Lots of my favorite colours, and I also like to make lines in it with a scraper. I think it adds some nice texture.


Here I added more paint, and used stencils, stamps and sprays.


Then I added random lines all over the canvas to make some compartments where I wanted to use different colours.


And so I continued with different colours in different sections and bringing out figures, some I drew beforehand and some only when I got to it.

And in the end it resulted in this:

"the earth has music for those who listen" - acrylics on canvas 
80 x 80 cm - 31,5 x 31,5 inches

And for those of you who still don't have enough: here are my weekly funnies and thinkies :-)
















Will be linking to Paint Party Friday tomorrow! I hope you're having a wonderful day! Thanks for your visit, and I wish you a fun and creative weekend! See you next week ♥ ♥ ♥
