…it’s only a bit of fun!
Oh dear. Sometimes when I draw these things that appear from nowhere I feel concern for my sanity…
Found images in acrylic media on printing paper. Image 6×6 inches (15×15 cm) approximately.
Don’t cry frog…

The lady ventriloquist
She holds her dummy close even while she isn’t speaking. An unlikely subject which appeared out of my collage. Image 10×8 inches (25×20 cm).
River by my door
Sadly I started this 10×8 inch picture on too many varieties of oriental tissue so it was impossible to flatten it out – hence the wrinkles that persist! Otherwise I was pleased with it!
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…
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.
The birds leave the stage

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 silly mixed media picture! Image 10×7.5 inches (26×18 cm).
Little flock

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.
Cheerful garden

A suitable picture for Easter and spring. Hope we see the sun… Image 5.5×7.25 inches. This is a mixed media painting which I completed while following an online course with Diane Culhane. There aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the painting I want to – all such fun.
It’s available as a print, greeting card or phone case.
Bad map reader

Or ‘The back seat driver gets her comeuppance’! A fun piece that emerged from nowhere and I liked it. Image size 7×7 inches. Collage, paint and gold leaf on heavy-weight watercolour paper.
Dark enjoyment
© Catherine Redmayne
A picture built up and destroyed several times and bearing the signs of this attack. Patches of gold, text, hand-decorated papers and added paint combine to create the final image. It measures 8 x 8 inches and is on heavyweight watercolour paper, ready to frame under glass.
Bag lady

A totally abstract collage which suddenly morphed into something before my eyes. You may see it or not. Image size 7.5 inches square, collaged hand-coloured papers on heavy watercolour paper, ready to frame under glass.
Other times
© Catherine Redmayne
A strange mixed media image which changed with each layer… What are the pyramid and the red arc doing there? Who is the character with a crown or a punk hairstyle? Image size 7.5 x 5.5 inches on heavy watercolour paper, ready to frame under glass.
Searching for the Orient
© Catherine Redmayne
A small mixed media painting 7 x 5 inches on heavy watercolour paper. Is the boat going the right way? Will it escape the rocks?
Reproductions of this painting in different formats or as a greetings card are available here.
