Frankly My Deer

I've finally gotten around to updating the gallery with Frankly My Deer (A3), plus my A5 trio Blue Mermaid, Butterfly Thoughts and Parrot Girl. (Well, I say trio but they're three independent little paintings that just happened to be made after one another during a short period of time.) Below is a picture of all three framed. I have atleast one painting that I need to finish so I might do that, although a new project is veeeery tempting (as always). I really like the unfinished painting however and I know I should finish it before I start something new. Plus, acrylics is always fun. I've worked a lot in watercolour and gouache lately and I'm not bored with it whatsoever but it's always nice to mix it up a bit.

Inspiring day

I've had a very intense and inspiring day today. Lots of new impressions and ideas to process. My mind has been on full speed since this morning to keep up. I find that very stimulating and it tends to let loose a flow of new ideas. The picture below is a painting I did not too long ago for a competition. Sadly I didn't make it to the final voting but I'm actually quite pleased with how it turned out considering how little time I spent on it. Speed painting is pretty fun when the result doesn't look like a train wreck. :P

On another note: It's vital to have faith in who you are and what you can accomplish. Surrounding yourself with positive energy is SO incredibly important. Constantly pointing out what could go wrong, refusing to see the possibilities instead of the opportunities and putting other people down because they don't do things your way is not being pragmatic. That's being an asshole.

Idun, acrylic on cardboard, A4.

Coming soon: A5 trio

I'm working on an A3 sized watercolour and gouache painting of a little deer girl or something like that at the moment. Really looking forward to see how she turns out.

I finished three litte A5 watercolour paintings a while back but haven't posted them yet. I shall have to do that soon!
