here's a painting that i did yesterday ~ '3 tents'.
it felt so good to finally sit and do this painting . . . after almost 5 weeks of 'opportunity' to paint, i actually got to it. i seemed to have done heaps of other work {the whole while thinking, i'd love to be/should be painting!} and a lot of getting out of the house with the family. . . the conflict of how to spend time, when it feels like time is flying by!
the top and 3rd pics are the print and the other 2 are scans of the painting. there are some differences between the two this time ~ apart from the slight colour difference. the print is a version of the painting before i added the dark grey details with paint. i made these marks with pencil initially. this seems to have worked best in the print form, as the scan caught the sketchy detail and left out the light tricks {pencil on acrylic can be seen in some lights and not others}.
i added the dark grey for the painting {on wood} to make it more visible!
the print is listed on etsy and madeit, and the painting will follow after the varnish.
now, if i can just hop off the computer and head back to my desk and do some more painting . . .
happy friday to you!

Lovely work Belinda - very playful and fun. Is there something in the air? Annamaria's in a playful painting mood too :) K
Love it - its colors and its spirit as well.
Now I wanna go to a warm place and enjoy tenting in the nature ... (its grey winter here...)
oh! this is so lovely! It's one of my favorites from your work, I believe!
:sigh: it's winter here, and although I LOVE the snow, i do miss camping.
I can honestly say that I've never seen a painting of tents ... and you've do so magically!
This is really nice! It's a little different but still very much your work. I'm intrigued to see where this is going :)

i really love this! the colours are gorgeous :)
Love this!
I found you via Aris. Your work is completely charming and wonderful. And can see why she was so happy to get her little package. I'm always happy to find other artist mamas making it work somehow (in between everything else). I'll be back.
I love it- the more I see it the more I love it-its unusual and playful ,like Kylie said, and the colors sing- lovely artwork Belinda!You are inpisring me!
And as far as the time conflicts go -...yes- it doesn't end...-I totally feel with you- but ,you are still making great work , so somehow,somewhere you are doing the right things-
Annamaria xx
your painting is gorgeous - i love the vibrant color! i love the tents! and i can completely identify with that feeling of time flying by while doing other things, wanting to be painting, needing and wanting to be with family...it's tough sometimes. :)
Oh you are amazing, I am so into printing as a medium (in all its forms from potato to printer), very inspiring!
Oh, I love your painting of tents!
I just came back from a wonderful camping trip and you have captured the magic and wonderment of camping in tents :-) Thank you for sharing!
