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.
Tag: Colourful
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.
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!
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.
Girl with black hair
An awkward girl sits staring to the side, one hand to her chest. What is she dreaming of? Image size 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).
Festival
A cheerful abstract in pink and blue. Welcome to the Festival. Enjoy yourself! Image size 7.5×5.5 inches (19×15 cm).
Original and reproductions available from FAA.

A subject which presented itself, emerging from the collage background. Mixed media. Image 10.5×7.5 inches (27×19 cm). Silly but fun!

A collage of decorated papers on a monotype background. I made this when exploring the possibilities of translating a tonal design into collage. Image 8×5.5 inches (20×14 cm).
Available as a print, greeting card or iPhone case here (now with US and UK/European distribution).

Studio table
Seth Apter of The Altered Page invited followers to post a photo of their studio table for the 18th September in the spirit of ‘I’ll show you mine if you show me yours’ – so here it is. Quite tidy today really!

A ‘found’ subject in this mixed media piece. One head peered out at me, so I added the others. Collage and painting. Image size 7.5 x 10 inches (19×25.5 cm).
At the pond

A boldly coloured version of an earlier drawing. You can see the original charcoal drawing on this blog. (I think I rather prefer the charcoal! You can’t win ’em all.)
Reproduction available here.
Cornfields

Acrylic on collaged papers. A suitable theme for August. Image measures 10×7.5 inches.
Thoughts in a garden

An imaginary setting for a curved shape in complementary colours! Developed from collaged decorated papers combined with a drawn figure and further decoration. Image size 8.25×11.5 inches (21×28 cm) – acrylic media on various papers.
Odalisque for 9th May

A figure cut from a collage of decorated papers affixed to another collage. The whole is quite enigmatic as the figure may be seen as a nude or dressed! The image size is 8×10.5 inches.
