  • The start of a new phase of painting style

    The start of a new phase of painting style

    This watercolour and ink painting felt like it was the start of a new phase of ideas that I’ve kept going back to again and again. Thick lines to the sides. I think I’ll experiment with the middle square again, see how it feels on the newer pieces. #abstract #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractpainting #watercolour…

    Waiting for paint to dry!

    A couple of soggy watercolour paper pieces waiting to dry. So tempting to get the hairdryer out, but it always ruins them!#abstract #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractpainting #watercolour #watercolourpainting #abstractlovers

    Will this little piece survive?

    This little watercolour  piece keeps shouting at me to leave it alone. It’s lucky I’ve not had time to pick up the inks today… Let’s see how lucky it gets tomorrow. #abstract #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractpainting #watercolourpainting #watercolourart  #arttherapy

    An older and uglier painting style

    An older and slightly more manic painting. There’s something about it I really like, but I have no idea why. It won’t allow me to throw it away! Ink and watercolour powder on watercolour paper A4 #abstract #abstractart #artist #painting #artoftheday#abstractexpressionism #abstractpainting

    A swirly ma doodle -watercolour and ink

    I’ve been working on a few digital font illustrations the last few days, so no real time for the paints. This was a swirly ma doodle from a few weeks ago.

    A big splosh of colour on a very cold and grey day. It’s meant to be getting colder over the week, am I going to go brighter? Get the sunglasses out, I’m going neon!

  • Red and Black Abstract Painting

    Red and Black Abstract Painting

    Feeling as if this one might have finished herself, though I may check again later to see. It’s been good to be a bit more spontaneous again. Though hopefully soon I can flick and drip paint with no inhibitions, or carpet to worry about. Ink brush pen and acrylic paints on A4 watercolour paper #abstract…

    Work in progress! Inks and Acrylics

    Some pieces that are work in progress. Acrylic paint and ink, so far. It was great to get a bit messier, though a little resistant as I’m still not in a place of my own yet, and we all know how hard it is to get ink out of the carpet… And off the wall……

  • Rip it up and start again

    Rip it up and start again

    This piece wasn’t working as one, so it was fun to tear it into 4 and experiment with different pieces of it. Trying to explore more muted colours that I don’t usually gravitate to.

    Always feel a bit of satisfaction from reds and yellows, warming colours on an autumn afternoon. I’d love to be sat next to a pub fire right now.

    Mini Art in Confined Spaces

    Some mini pieces. I don’t have my own space to paint at the moment, so I am very conscious of paint splatters on carpets and walls, so I am working with shapes and being more mindful. It’s actually really good for me as I was a bit too wild. These are acrylic paints and ink…

    Anyone else had a heavy day with the paints and pens?

    Had a bit of a fight with this one today. I was sticking with the nature cell vibe last night, and things were fine. But today… Oh, today, she did not want to play. That’s why it ended up with the black ink on top. I do like the colours though, so it’s not getting…

    Looking at Natures Cells and Making Art

    Thought I’d research more into plant and human cells, maybe a couple of spores, and after an hour or so of doodling with a biro (see photo below) I really ran with the long plant cell structure over a watercolour piece I had. Lots of ink later and I’m really happy I gave it a…
