Painting with circles - version pink

Now here is the pink version of my painting with blue circles




As I told you before these circle designs have already existed, I invented them for cards.


Here is the card:




The painting is made with DecoArt Americana acrylic paints and the circles were outlined with graphite pencil (2B).

Painting with circles - version blue

I'm sorry for the one week silence, we just came back from the Loire Valley. Although it was a one week holiday we tried to visit as many castles and museums as possible - and actually it was 5 days if I don't count the 2 days we spent on the French motorway. 

Just to make you a little jealous I tell you that we visited the following castles: Chenonceau, Clos Lucé in Amboise, Villandry, Azay-le-Rideau, Langais and Ussé. And I must mention too that the Mashroom Museum and the Pierre et Lumiere Museum in Saumur were also very interesting along with the delicious crémants (sparkling wines) we tasted back from these museums.

As for my painting... I've already had the design. I made it for a card with dark blue frame and I used inks to mix the colours.

Now, here is my 30x30 cm acrylic painting:






And here is my earlier design, my card:






For my painting I used DecoArt Americana acrylic paints as follows: Blue Chiffon, Primary Blue, Uniform Blue, Wedgewood Blue, Williamsburg Blue, Winter Blue, Pineapple, Foliage Green and White Wash. I also used a 2B graphite pencil.











I'm planning to make the fuchsia version of this painting (also an earlier design).

With my painting I would like to join the Monday Challenge of the Simon Says Stamp blog: We're going around in circles.

Dot painting - a snowman and a Christmas tree picture


In my creative workshop this weekend I was painting with the kids. We have painted a snowman and a Christmas tree picture with acrylic paints and with the rubber end of a pencil. With this technique our paintings were like mosaics, similar to the Australian aboriginal dot painting.
