Hey all I took photos of some of my artwork today! Sorry if the photos are a bit blurry sometimes. This is acrylic colour on wood:  This is acrylic colour on canvas. The iris is mad out of "soft" paper coloured with pastelic colour, the pupil is made out of plastic. Behind it there´s a photo:  This is acrylic colour on paper background. It´s a scene from the tv show "Roswell", Michael&Isabel kissing:  This is acrylic colour on paper background. A scene from the tv show "Charmed":  A drawing of Amber Benson. Acrylic colour on canvas. I did draw Amber with a permanent marker:  |

Wow, Swantje, those are all GREAT!  The first two, especially the second, remind me of the eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings. I think my favorite is the scene from, ehem, "Charmed*", LOL! ;D I have never watched that show.  One can sense the emotion involved. You have been given many gifts, literary and artistic, and I thank you for sharing both with your members!  |

Glad you like them ;D
And also you don´t have to have watched "Charmed" to like or dislike a painting of a scene from that show. *lol* So that´s okay.
I kinda like messing around with acrylic colour. Hehe. I´m not so good at drawing with pencil...

I like black & white painting, mixing the colours up a bit so they turn different shades of grey...I also love to have all black&white with some red in it.

I like black & white painting, mixing the colours up a bit so they turn different shades of grey...I also love to have all black&white with some red in it. Those are sad colors. Like a Van Gogh's favourite colors at his early career as an artist. Why don't you try to draw with orange and blue, or green and red? |

You can consider the colours sad. But that´s not always I think. To me black&white are very beautifulas well. They can show innocence and fragility...
I also did some pictures with brighter colours...but I never tried like bright read and yellow and green...mybe you´re right, maybe I should. But I have to be in a bright mood if I want to do that...
I´ll let you see once I did something new.

Yes, I mostly paint based on my mood. I did a simple one today, using different colours. Partly ´cause you considered using different colours and also ´cause I felt sorta "green" today. So I came up with a very simple one that I like non the less. I call it "Swallow the moon" it´s acrylic colour on canvas. Green flames on light green background with the moon, and what you can´t see is that there actually is silvery glitter around the moon as well. The foto of this painting is not too good. Sorry for that.  |

I really like it, Swantje! Are you telling me that you painting that all during one morning? Wow! You amaze me with your multifaceted artistic talent - poetry... painting, etc., etc. You're incredible! Great job. |

Thank you for liking it Steve! ;D
Yes, I did that in one...afternoon that is; about two hours. Well, since it´s a pretty simple one it did not take too long to paint it.
It takes longer however to do paintings like the "Charmed" or "Roswell" one above. Those took me a whole night each (Don´t ask me why I did not paint them during the day. *lol* Long story.). The fist painting I posted here took me about four hours if I remember well and the second eye took a couple of days actually because I had to make the pupil out of plastic first which was not so easy. I took a CD jewel case and put it into boiling water to then form the pupil out of it. Tricky. *lol*

Here are two new ones. The first one is a painting a made for a friend of mine. I took a photo of it non the les so I am now able to post it here. It´s called "Resistance" And I used both acrylic and pastelic colour on canvas. And the second painting is called "Warmth breaking free", acrylic colour on canvas. I did this with different colours since Wiku said I should try brighter colours!   |
