Body of Work.... 7 years later i have it figured.

Last night  I had trouble getting to sleep, so while i was trying to get to sleep as usual i had a million different things running through my head. My mind tends to wonder when im bored. I found myself thinking about different painting techniques i could try and different canvases i wanted to do. Then i started thining about my Yr 12 body of work- My main work of art to be marked for my HSC.
Now, i can't actually remember what i submitted for my BOW 7 years ago- memory problems due to stress lol. But i know i wasnt overly happy with it. Nowadays, with more artistic experience under my belt, i know i could do better. I have a much better way of presenting my theme.
Going off the theme i picked in yr 12- "Bottled Emotions", I re did my BOW in my head. It actually merged and transformed for over an hour :-) and then i figured it out. I know exactly how I could have represented my theme perfectly (surprisingly it had nothing to do with bottles- more so boxes :-) If only I could go back and do it again the way i planned in my head last night lol.
Even though I have no one to submit it to, or no reason to even do it, im going to make my Body of Work. I just wish I could show my yr 12 art teacher how much better I did this time around lol.

Outer Space inspired....

This is one of my favortite paintings so far. I called this "Outer Space Horizon". I blended a number of colours to give me my background. Then I threw paint at the canvas- one of my favorite techniques. :-)

Lets Paint...

My most recent painting. I did this one last weekend. I used a canvas for the backing and attached my painted canvas panels to it to create dimension. Im really happy with the way this turned out.

Time to catch up.....

Its been way to long since i posted on my blog. What is the point of having a blog if you dont post now and then....
Lately ive been spending alot of time swapping thanks to a fabulous site- Swapbot (great site, give it a look). Not only have i been swapping but ive also been painting and adding to my art journal. The one (or 2 things) that i HAVENT been doing lately is actualy scrapbooking or cardmaking. I lost my mojo for a month or so, but im hoping to get back in to it... as well as getting back into my blog. :-)

So from now on, hopefully, ill be posting more of my scrapping and cardmaking, as well as my paintings.
So ta ta for now, and ill see you soon. :-)

365 cards- day 12 circle frenzy.

The challenge was to create a card using 20 or more circles from 2 different sources. I ran core' dinations CS through my circle cuttlebug folder and then sanded it to reveal the colour underneath. Then i used a stamp from my invitation as the second source.

365 cards- Outer Space

When I think of outer space I think of the images of the universe. So when i was comming up with my card that is where i drew my inspiration from. To begin with i sprayed glimmer mist on my backround paper, and then i threw white paint at it. Creating my 'outer space' scene.

Thinking of Outer Space...

One of the challenges on 365 cards blog was to make a card inspired by outter space. Alot of people would think spaceships, aliens, Buzz lightyear- My sons influence lol, but not me.

Ive always loved the stars and the galaxy, ever since i was younger. Astronomy was always my favorite subject. And lately ive been rediscovering my love of the universe lol.

One of my favorite things about the universe is the images it holds. Have you ever seen a pictutre of a nebluar? Pick one, they're all just gorgeous clouds of colour. the images you can forn in your head when you think of outter space are endless.

I love to paint. Couldnt paint a portrait to save my life, but i still love to throw paint at a canvas (literally) and create something.

This is one of my favorites, inspired by the night sky and outer space.

So when the challenge went up reguarding outer space, i was reminded of my paintings and got my inspiration from there.
