Christmas Goat - Mixed media on collage

Goat

Today a different sort of portrait.... I have always been fascinated by goats, maybe because they remind me so much of Greece (and the donkey of course !).
When I saw those beautiful goat portraits from Kevin Horan, I got inspired to do some painting! It had been a while again....

' Volcano'

'Volacano' Water colour on paper 21x29cm

I know it is totally different from what I am painting normally, though I always have water colour close to me, as I often start my paintings with watercolour. This work is abstract because I painted it mainly for a fabric competition…. and I would so love to have those colours on a beautiful silk ….. and YES it IS even a pattern repeat ... But at the end, I submitted another one :)

Portrait

'Blue Stone' cushion

Textile Pattern


Still enjoying playing with pattern repeat and the the surprises with it ! Yesterday it started as a portrait ( see previous post) and to day a cushion…. They would work great together :) The cushion is, like all my other prints available on Red Bubble:here

Bedrohung - Threat Mixed media ( pen, pencil and photoshop ) on paper. 

So nice to draw again and to get into that space where time is not important…..

Getting into a "pattern fever" !

' Tatoo' Mixed media

Pattern Repeat...

It has been such a long time for me to write here and even a longer time since I have painted!
I missed it terribly and as always: the restarting is never THAT easy …. I have been working a little bit in   my sketchbook, started to have few papers ready for when 'the time is ready' :)

To get back into creative work, I find it always easiest when I start something totally new. Some times just a new pencil or a different medium can do the trick, but after such a long break, I wanted to do something VERY different, so I started to do some research regarding textile design and the important pattern repeat… Very addictive subject I must say and full of surprises ! Loving it …. Here my first design:

Those cushions are from Redbubble (Doonas and bags are available as well !!) 

'The Judge'

'The judge' mixed media 21x29cm

Black Thoughts

Black Thoughts   Mixed media and collage on paper   29x41cm

My first painting after such a long time... and probably also the last one before the semesters starts again :) 

It is a bit different than my work usually I think, maybe because of my 'shade and shadow studies for interiors' Also I think I enjoyed to paint/draw it slowly without rush and the shading was more or less a meditative exercise !
