Experimental painting: blind contour drawing of a man’s face done with monotype and then mounted on a textured background. Couldn’t think of anything to do next so in the ‘look at later’ pile! Image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm)

Grebe
One of those splodges of paint which suddenly turned into a recognisable bird! I couldn’t bear to add to it in case the grebe disappeared again. Image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm). Just another for the drawer…
Sweet sugar dumpling
One of a recent series of figures outlined with heavy black. I love the way the bright colours look like traditional stained glass. I remember dancing to this song way back… Didn’t want to offend with the real title!

A vague feeling
In a blue mist, she wanders – wondering just how to make the posts come up the right size on Facebook…

Lion tamer
Here she is. The lady lion tamer. No lion would dare to mess with her.

By the Waters of Babylon
A colour piece suggesting a landscape with river and pools… A very large bird appeared on its own!

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

Faces of me!
Encouraged to find colour palettes and do self-portraits for my week’s lesson on Year of the Spark, I have done three faces. Here they are with the colour selections.
Veiled
Now you see it, now you don’t! Another face stares back at me of a woman with heavy veiling thrown back over her shoulder..
Image is 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm), acrylic on collage.
Blue lady
A 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.
The rider
No, I don’t know what he’s riding except it’s got ears! Acrylic monotype with pencil drawing. Pastel colours for a change.
Wild dance
You have to look hard to see if there really are dancers in there or they are implied by the pattern!
Image approx. 5.75 inches square (14.5 cm sq),
Phyz
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
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!

Last post of the year – wish it was warm enough to sit around in the nude!
Happy New Year.
The green plume
Monotype drawing with collage of decorated papers. Approx. 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm). She looks lost in thought and melancholic – please Like her!
