Just playing

Waves

Sometimes you've just got to embrace the toddler in you and just play. Watch the textures building up, look for the hidden image and let that secret place you build pull you in for adventure.


Fairground

One girl's mess is another girl's Jackson Pollock after all...

Floribunda

And when one is invited to a party with a whole heap of other artists, then frankly darling what more could you expect?


Floribunda detail

I want to dive into that texture, lick it and stroke it. Am I deranged? Probably! But hey, I'm an artist... we're allowed to be a bit strange - it's part of the job description.


Happy thoughts

I'm off now to go drape myself in scarves and jangly jewellery so I jingle when I jig!

  10. Playing in mixed media is fun. I played today. I got up at 4:00AM and attended the Royal Wedding-at a PJ party! We wore crowns bought from the party store, sipped our coffee and tea in fancy cups, ate fancy finger foods for breakfast and watched the whole thing on the big screen tv..how's that for play Lisa?

    P.S. I heard you bought Luthien's necklace (or was it earrings?) anyway, I got the ring!

  15. I love this play! The colors and textures (and compositions, for that matter) remind me of Paul Klee and Marc Chagall.

    You make me want to let loose with some texture :)

  21. Loved the first one then discovered I loved the other two too.

  22. They're all amazing! Can I ask what medium you use? This is the type of fun, spontaneous work I've been attempting to create as opposed to my rigid ink drawings.

  23. Okay we are a bit strange but that makes us interesting and not boring! Adore your post....funny and enlightening...we all love to play...keeps us sane and young, at least that's we hope for.
    Your art truly resonates what your soul conveyed in words.

  27. I love your post words as much as your wonderful artwork - I laughed at the jingling bit - sounds fabulous and eccentric and if you ever arrange an arty get together please do count me in!!

    As for your work - wow - are they all separate pieces or different photos of one huge piece? I love them whichever way it is but the colours and details seem to make a theme. Love it!

  28. What a great post! Your paintings are lovely and clearly you totally enjoyed their creation! Makes me want to play, too!

  29. Oh! I love the texture in these. I love everything about them. :0)

    I hope one day to loosen up enough to be able to create like this as well.
