Hidden

Mixed Media on hardboard in custom frame

I made this little hidden doe in the forest a little while ago, but now my very helpful man has made a custom frame for it :) The image is 16 ½ x 11 ½ inch approx. or 42 x 30 cm for the metric ones. In real life it is so much better ! The colours are deeper and richer, there are dried autumn leaves and drippies and yummie yummie beeswax ! I like how she looks in her framed position. If you like her, you can pm me here, I need space !

Deerly Embrace

Remember I told you about the swap I was in with Cameron, well...
I finished my painting for her (see above) "Deerly Embrace"
It's Mixed Media on stretched Canvas 8x12
(inks, paints, crayons, pencils, inkpens, pastels, ferns, goldleaf, beeswax) I sure hope she'll like it. I got inspired by the toadstools that started appearing in our garden, it's Fall here now of course. Fairy Tale season and my daughter is certain that we have Fairies in our garden, because we have the toadstools here for them.
I hope they are there too ♥
-This time I wanted to try and see if I could get the painting to speak without painting open eyes-

I also received her parcel this week...tatatata ! I got all excited....
The envelope was already so gorgeous and everything inside was just such a lovely surprise as I unwrapped the yummie green tissuepaper (with sparkly dots) Out came the painting she did for me, but also loads of extra's ! She's such a great artist, look here:

I'm so happy, oh so happy....♫♪♫
Thank you Cameron, you're the best !

This week was busy and messy and we also had another powercut, so this parcel really made me feel great !

I found another Doe.......... and another frame is finished

I don't know what it is with earthquakes and Deer, after the September one I posted my Antler Maiden and this time I just finished another Doe I found or pulled from random paints that I had put on some paper a while ago

and also I finished painting another frame that my hubbie made for "Shattered"

Antler Maiden

"Deep in the Forest

I found two peaceful Doe

and captured them with paint"

I have been a bit disturbed by the Earthquake we had Saturday

and we still have aftershocks regularly throughout the day and night.

I try to get some peace and quiet by making my Art

but I am not always succesful with this

it's a creepy experience

I hope a -once in a lifetime thing- only...
