I feel for this lady! Mixed media on paper, image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm). Have a giggle!

And now: tote bags!

Do visit and see my pictures on tote bags  – I am thrilled with the look of them. You can adjust the placement of the artwork, or make it smaller – just click the one you like to see the possibilities. (Copyright line on this example won’t be on the bag!)

Blue lady

1794 blue lady.bA portrait that grew from eyes that ‘appeared’ in a kind of swirling paint mix. Image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm), mixed media on paper. Reproductions for sale in my print on demand shop.

Lady in orange

head of woman with orange dress on blue backgroundA new addition to my monoprint portraits. This woman was on a multi-coloured collaged background but that had been painted out so the orange is set starkly against the light blue. Mixed media work with collage. Image size about 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).

Turkish bath

A nude woman has a vaguely oriental background!

Drawing after a sculpture by Frank Dobson. Collage of decorated papers including the monoprint of the drawing – it might be inside a tiled Turkish bath. Image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).

Phyz

Phyz or face

A collage of decorated oriental papers with the barest minimum of line-work to show the face. Image size 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm approx). The original drawing may have been after a tribal mask – but I can’t recognise it now! It was fun to do anyway.

Venetian blinds

Sun through the blinds

Is she an artist’s model? Or just a woman enjoying the warmth falling on her through the blinds which provide seclusion?

A mixed media piece with collage, contour drawing and distortion!

Image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).

Last post of the year – wish it was warm enough to sit around in the nude!

Happy New Year.

Hmm. An ink drawing collaged onto decorated papers. Sadly the paper turned out to be very delicate and one of her legs fell off in the process – poor lady! But I like the picture anyway. Image 8×10.5 inches (20×27 cm).
