New article on the Unruly PaperArts blog!

For my article for the Unruly PaperArts blog I have been playing with packing tape to make some lovely image transfers. Check it out.

New pastel painting of chickens

During the Christmas vacation I finally found some time to work with pastel pencils and made this drawing / painting of a reference from an older WDE challenge on Wetcanvas. The size is 10" x 12" on light grey pastel paper.

Happy New Year!

First of all; a Happy New Year to all of you! May all your dreams come true this year.

Today is the last day of the local art show, this afternoon at 4pm the paintings that did not sell will come back home with me and I will (re)post them in my Etsy shop. So far I sold 6 paintings, 2 alcohol ink paintings of blue and red poppies, 1 mixed media collage painting, 1 pastel and 2 monoprints. A very good result to start the new year! The new owners of my paintings will pick them up this afternoon, I am looking forward to meet them ;-)

Art show opening night and my article on Unruly PaperArts

Yesterday was the opening night of the local annual art show. I had a lovely time and already sold 2 alcohol ink paintings!

And today my new article is on the Unruly PaperArts blog. On how to create some lovely vintage Christmas tags. Check it out here

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.

Getting ready for the local art show

It has been a few weeks since I posted anything on my blog. I was so busy with work, life and getting ready for the annual local art show. The show starts this Wednesday and my sister will help me on Tuesday evening with getting things ready. I have selected all the work I want to take with me, and all the art work is matted and framed and ready to be hanged.

The mixed media paintings are framed in a 40 x 50 cm frame. I love how they turned out, they look so much nicer and professional in a frame.

The pastel drawings are also done.

And this is one of the boxes I am taking with me. I have the 2 mixed media paintings, 14 30 x 40 cm frames with pastels, alcohol ink paintings and monoprints. And in the bag are 4 23 x 23 cm poppy paintings in alcohol ink. I hope the show goes well. I will post some pictures from the opening night on Wednesday!
