Another imaginary landscape of houses in the countryside. A yellow rainbow under a purple sky seems unlikely but most things I paint are unlikely. Mixed media on paper 10×8 inches (25×20 cm).
The big house
Tag: Mixed media
We live in the blue house
Well, actually, we never lived in a blue house. But my neighbour has recently painted his fences and BBQ shelter in this shade of blue – and it looks very nice. So maybe a repainting job on my side of the fence is needed… Though it is easier to see and admire on the next door property and save the effort!
Image measures approx. 8 x 10 inches (20×25 cm).
Kids’ Art Week!
Thank you, Carla, for another free Kids’ Art Week! (Last year’s lessons are still available here.)
I’m posting my efforts here this time:
Go, Picasso dog!
The procession
Can two be a procession? You have to imagine the rest! I just fell in love with the tiny figure on the right who appeared out of nowhere.
This is one of my pictures for the Tunbridge Wells International Art Fair 24-26 June 2016 (to be shown there by Redleaf Gallery).
The image is 8×10 inches (20×25 cms) approx. and is a mixed media painting.
Mutual support
A strange lady, a strange pet – but they get on!
Some lovely person liked it enough to purchase it! I think that person is a good vibes character.
Pick and mix
This is just the beginning of the piece. At lesson 23, the year’s work is nearly done. It’s been brilliant! Year of the Spark has followed Year of the Fairy Tale – both with Carla Sonheim. This year Lynn Whipple has provided half the lessons. Super mix of talents.
I kid myself it now looks a teeny weeny bit like an Egyptian tomb wall – I shall call the bathing belle Nefertiti.
Next year it will be Y is for Yellow. Watch this space…
Face
© Catherine Redmayne
A woman’s face. Her expression is sad, lost in her own thoughts maybe. An experimental collage which seems to be complete at this stage. I like it anyway!
Mixed media on paper, the image measures 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).
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.
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!
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).
