THE RED HAT original drawing

THE RED HAT
6 x 8 inch (15 x 20 cm)
Drawing on Fabriano tinted paper using soft pastels.

I look rediculous in hats, but I love them on other people. This female looks a bit scary/stressed ... maybe she too is worried she doesn't look at her best :(

CHEERY BLOOMS drawing

CHEERY BLOOMS
6 x 8 inch (15 x 20 cm)
Drawing on Fabriano tinted paper using soft pastels and ink.

Drawing flowers is not normally my kind of thing.
So goodness knows where this drawing came from yesterday? It had been a difficult sort of day and I certainly needed some positivity. Flowers do lift the spirits so maybe these are by way of a gift to myself :)

FREEDOM abstract drawing

FREEDOM
6 x 8 inch (15 x 20 cm)
Drawing on Fabriano tinted paper using soft pastels, crayon and ink.

Is the bird on the outside leaving the nest already about to fly, or is it inside the tree trunk contemplating the possibility of freedom. Either way light beckons.

SOMETHING TOGETHER NOTHING APART abstract figurative painting

SOMETHING TOGETHER, NOTHING APART
Acrylic on unstretched canvas
18 x 17 inches
(46 x 43 cms)
$299 plus shipping

There are two ways to see this painting. The image above is how it might look when wrapped onto wooden stretcher bars and stapled round the back. The sides of the painting which are part of the composition could then be seen if displayed without frame. Which I think would look great!

21 x 20 inches
(54 x 51 cms)

The second image shows the full canvas, with 3 inches all round allowed for stretching. If it was to be displayed with a frame, then less of the canvas would need to wrap on the stretcher bars so more of the composition would be seen from the front when framed.

When two odd people were made for each other, my Grandma used to say in her broad north of England dialect that a couple were "Somat together and nowt apart".

Love you Granny Boon.

GIRL WITH GREEN BANDANNA figurative expressionist painting

GIRL WITH GREEN BANDANNA
SOLD
Acrylic on thick mount board
2.5 x 3.5 inches
(65 x 90 mm)
She's such a Hussy! But she's wearing red and green so I love her.

The temperatures and humidity are still uncomfortably high. This morning I was a good girl and did some ironing ... aghh... in this heat! So I earned myself some time in the studio. It's a long time since I painted an art card (ACEO) and seemed a good idea as I didn't have enough energy for anything larger.

RED HAIRED MADONNA abstract expressionist painting

RED HAIRED MADONNA
18 x 20 inches
(46 x 51 cms)
Original abstract expressionist figurative painting.
Acrylic on flat unstretched canvas, signed Bee.
The painting is actually larger than you see here as it continues over the margins I set to allow for stretching.

Those blessed days when our children are small enough to wrap in our arms and keep safe from all harm.

Blogger has had problems over the last couple of days or so. This Blog and many others have been unavailable. Sorry, but there was nothing I could do except wait for Blogger/Google to fix it. Welcome back! :)
