It was Snowing

For the second time this winter we had snow. First they were big and fluffy snowflakes dancing slowly from the clouds down. Then the snowflakes became smaller and sharper and the wind started blowing. And finally it was more like little flies trying to bite you.
We caught the first part outside and managed to take some photos and play in the snow. The best part of winter in my opinion is being home in the evening, drinking tea and looking out the window at the street lights with snowflakes around them.

Something new

Finally, after a few completely fruitless weeks full of frustration (fellow artists out there will understand) I have something new to show. Little as it is I am happy that I have something going.

Movie Monday 61

La dama y la muerte, a lady and death. A very smart and modern animation about life and death. Amazing art quality.

Inspiration Tuesday

A new favorite of mine Anna Silivonchik inspired me to try aclylics once again. I have not done work on canvas for 7 years, yet I am eager to start again. She makes the canvases and the paint sing together in a way I did not think they could given the subject matter. I am in love:)

Movie Monday 60

A very nice animation with fun music and a general lite and "Happy Monday" mood.

IF: Focused

The King has to be very Focused in order not to loose this one.

Movie Monday 59

Something I will be looking forward to see in spring.

IF: Clumsy

Despite the fact that hippos are rather clumsy, in rare circumstances they can be trusted to serve tea.

Movie Monday 57

An uplifting beat for a new week. A mix based on the movie "Up" extremely well done, cheerful and playful.

IF: Wilderness

Hidden from the human eye, in the wilderness the most beautiful birds live.

Painting cows and horses

Playing with the wooden figures has been a lot of fun lately.
I bought a few blank kokeshi dolls from a fellow seller on Etsy, and found some blank animal wooden figurines in a local toy store. This was a start of a new batch of fun. It is very far from serious painting, but it certainly is very cheerful and playful. Both of my kids joined in at some point, and we had a few hours of good painting together.
Here is what I came out with. Please don't judge too harshly, this is all very new to me.

Movie Monday 58

Absolutely genial!

IF: Confined

Each bird was confined to it's own little hole.

New Rabbits in the New year

Will be in my Etsy shop very soon.
Getting the last of last years work out into the big world. I feel I need some changes in style, subject matter....

Movie Monday 57

A well known story of the three pigs suddenly takes an unexpected twist, turning into a tragedy.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!

Getting the house ready for the holidays, getting into the festive mood, trying not to be overwhelmed with the mundane.
