Just continuing on with mark making and abstraction. On a 4×4″ canvas – loving this size.

Puppy portrait time
I have been taking cute photos of our puppy. Well okay, Faith’s not really a puppy, in fact she’s almost 2 years old. I think she’ll always be a puppy to me. Anyway … I thought “why not paint her?” … so I did.
Tony looked at the end result and said “it looks like a bunch of lines going in all directions” then looked at the photo and laughed. In all honesty, from the right angle, Faith really does look like a bunch of fur thrown in a heap. Judge for yourself! BTW – you can visit Faith’s blog here.

Trying a new direction
Circles 4 This weekend I have been working (playing) with new directions; nothing serious, just seeing what happens. This wee one is a 4×4″ box canvas – it has a lot of layers, some scumbling, some stamping, some glazing. I’ve also been working on a new set of four 4x4s ready for the new gallery in Christchurch.
I’ve also been working on a digital entry for the latest Masters Month challenge, Andy Warhol, with the NZ Art Guild. I took a self-portrait using my Nikon D40 then manipulated it in Photoshop Elements to get a Warhol style self-portrait poster.Share this:

Full-moon-itis retreats!
Last night the moon was definitely not full any more, our room was darker, and I slept till 5am. Fabulous!
So tonight, I am tired but starting to feel better. It’s been a long, difficult week at work and I am pleased to have two days to unwind and rejuvenate. Mum had a good appointment with the surgeon where we all agreed to forget surgery, Tony got an ok report from the treadmill test for his heart, and the cat went to the vets with a urinary problem. Some weeks are longer than others…
Tonight I have, just for a change as usual, been playing with moon images.

Full moon again
We’ve come full circle again. I was wide awake last night (not helped by the 5.2 earthquake we experienced) and am quite restless tonight. Something made me check and, sure enough, it’s a full moon tonight. No real surprise there I guess.So, this evening I have been playing round with moon images; cropping, colouring, texturising.
I’ve also been playing round with my photocopies, thinking about my options. Nothing too deep and meaningful, with so little sleep last night I’m a little hazy. I can guarantee tonight won’t be much better. Let’s hope there is reasonable cloud cover.
