Poppy in alcohol inks

While waiting for my new supply of alcohol inks and Yupo paper, I created this lovely poppy. The size of the painting is 7" x 7". I started with orange ink to create the poppy, followed with yellow ink to create the individual petals of the flower. A blob of denim and eggplant in the middle. The background is made with several greens and stream, washed down with solution. The background was tooooo bright :-) but now it looks perfect.

Ready for opening night!

Yesterday evening my sister helped me with getting ready for the local annual art show starting tonight. We had a great evening, sorting all the paintings and hanging them on my 4 meter space. Lots of paintings, but I like how the wall turned out. I am ready for the opening, tonight at 8pm!

If you are interested (and live nearby) the art show is at the WVT in Bilthoven, from December 18, 2013 to January 2, 2014. With opening hours every day (even on Christmas). There is lots to see, paintings, sculptures, ceramic, jewellery, etc.

Painting in alcohol inks

Last year I was part of a local art show during the last 2 weeks of the year. This year I have enrolled again and hopefully I will get the chance to participate again. Last year I showed a lot of Mixed Media Paintings and this year I want to show alcohol ink paintings and watercolor and pen paintings . Fingers crossed that they will pick me again ;-).

In preparation for the show I created a new alcohol ink painting on Yupo paper. The size of the painting is A4, 20 x 29 cms, about 8" x 11". It will look great when it is matted and framed!
