It's about 6:20am and I'm sitting outside on my patio with my laptop with a hot cup of tea listening to the birds chirp. This has to be the most peaceful time of day. There is a soft breeze which I haven't felt for weeks because it has been SO hot...... Now that you can picture my setting I will get to my morning post(O:
Years ago I used to paint with dots 90 percent of the time so I thought I'd bring back my old style for a page in my new face journal. It's fun to see how many different ways I can use these faces from my 8 painting series. Some of these faces will not even look like faces after I embellish them. Those of you who know my work will know there is a face in there somewhere. First time viewers.... well they may just think it's an abstract painting with patterns and words. This is a new page I've finished showing the progression (in a backwards scroll)of the detail as I went along. As you scroll down each photo will show less and less detail from the finished page. This is also the first piece in my new little studio nook. I actually do like being in the kitchen, it's nice to be where all the action is. Being a Mom with two girls, I too can block out noises when I need to. Happy Monday everyone!

So very interesting that you used to paint with dots! This is such a cool technique! I love quotes about art or artists!! Such an inspiring post! Mornings are the best :D
ReplyDeleteso groooooovy !
ReplyDeletei especially love the way you've done hair here!
I love your painting style. The indigenous Australians use dots as their main style of painting to represent their dream time stories.
ReplyDeleteI much appreciate such work, I like work that makes me look a while and go back and look again, like writing that one has to read more than one time because it has something that captures the viewer or the reader. So very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove the fine detail of your work. I can see a lot of time and love goes into your creativity
ReplyDeleteHave a good week

Your style of presentation is very impressive. The meaningful contribution of your mind reflects on those people who are looking for new ideas and informations regarding Art Gallery Paintings. I would like to tweet on it and keep spying at every moment you blogging.
ReplyDeleteRebecca!!!!!! this is fantabulous!
ReplyDeleteokay, so the way you started you opening lines of this post was enchanting...so relaxing....like you were describing one of my 'perfectly preferred days'!!!!
we are way too much alike in many ways...
that desk you have in you new nook, if it's an antique....then it's just like the one that I used to have when I was first married! the handles look the same...and there are dovetail jointed wooden drawers, right!
too funny, if it is!
i'm going to look back on the backwards scroll now...that is such a clever way to present your finished piece!
i'm sorry you did it first! hehehee
just kidding....I am thrilled to know you!
and I figure I can type freely when talking to you....yes?
ciao bella

I love mosaics and I love dots. This page is just beautiful. I can't get over how perfect everything looks. Especially the flowers and the pink mosaic squares. If I tried to do that, it would all come out looking wonky. You have a gift! Don't ever stop, I love seeing what you've come up with each day.
