Modigliani play and a daffodil

after Modigliani's Madame Zborowska

' Daffne ' - girl with daffodil in her hair

Yesterday, the last day of the schoolholidays and eventhough the weather was not super, the kids wanted to go to the beach, so we did. And it was great, there was a strong seabreeze, I combed the beach for some choice driftwood and it really cleared my head. At night I made these two little portraits, one girl with a daffodil in her hair and another a play on Modigliani's Madame Zborowska. Both done in Fresco style, plaster of Paris on cotton calico substrates. After Saturday's debacle, they at least gave me back the feeling that I could make somehing worth looking at again.

♥ Happy Easter to all ♥

Easter

Where I grew up this was a time of Daffodils
(and I love those so much)and Spring and all things bright and sunny.Here downunder it is the time of falling leaves and toadstools
(and I like those a lot too)it is Autumn / Fall, but lucky us.
there are a lot of nice and sunny Autumn days here.
Today for instance it got to over 20 degrees Celcius, wonderful !
So good hopes for a lovely Easter egg hunt for the kids :)
aren't these felt bunnies a great idea to make ?
they're easy to do and I made a pocket for some chocolate at the back as wellHere are some Easter sketches, crafts and inspirations
