' 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 :)

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:
