Backtracking: New Hobby

Gitte started me on painting. She paints herself and had tried to encourage me to try it out myself for some time.
The photo shows Gitte painting her picture "Evolution".

With help of the original paper pattern of the dragon head, a bunch of glitter, sequins, canvas and some blue paint I fabricated this picture. Well, actually I first finished it recently. It took some time for me to find a way to prevent the sequins and glitter to drizzle off all the time. I managed, as you can see. :-)

That was the start of the end. ;-) I made one more cut and paste picture which became a Christmas present and quickly moved on to painting with stencil patterns I made myself.


I am also playing with colors and trying a bunch of different techniques. At this point, I don't think that there is a single picture where I haven't tried something new. Also I noticed that I moved to larger canvases. When I stated a 24 x 30 cm canvas seemed huge. Now I consider everything at 30 x 40 cm and below as very small. ;-)

I am also a person who has several projects in progress at the same time. Right now I have two picture ideas ready to be put on canvas in my head, two that I still think about, and five in various stages of completion.

Here is the finished picture og Gittes "Evolution".
