new show at BSG

I sent of my painting for the "painting 12A" show at Brunswick st gallery (BSG) today. Its always hard for me to part with them. If your in Melbourne go check it out for me, I wont be able to go see it  myself. The show runs 2nd - 15th March.

another work in progress

A work in progress. I'm about half way through this one. I have painted in all the undercoat colours now I need to add detail and definition. I usually paint the first half of a painting very fast and freely then at about this stage I become more careful and lose momentum. That's why I have so many paintings half done, 5 at the moment I think. I know a lot of artists have this problem. You get the initial creative spark that takes you so fare and then you get stuck or daunted.  I'll see if I can get back in the flow tomorrow avo after work.

 

more ACEOs

I had an extra day of work today and finished of some more ACEOs for my etsy store (the opening of which has been slightly delayed). These are all done in a similar way to the first one I posted about, with watercolour and pen on watercolour paper. On the one with the two little witches I also used some coloured pencils on their hair and on the plants. The photo of the bird one is crap, its actually not blurry, sorry. All in all I'm quite happy with them for tiny pictures.
