my creative space


i have been making a print of this painting today. and making a dodgy packet vanilla cake! i've had a craving for chocolate cake for weeks {probably started around the time i stopped having chocolate + coffee etc} and i have a throat virus/cold . . . so a little cake and baby steps with the huge long list of things i want to do!

to see more spaces or to play too, visit kirsty. happy creative space day!

p.s. i have made progress with the skirts, i just need a bright day for photos. not so much progress with my display photos ~ the paint looks great as a background, but the lighting issue is very tricky as usual!

I am intrigued by the making a print off a painting thing. It is a gorgeous painting, almost Japanesey looking.

Luisa said...

painting looks great...is it of water?
hope you feel better soon.

Great painting. It looks like stitching. Is there any actual stitching or just the illusion?

ditto on the questions above
am i right in thinking this is a slightly different style to your other work

It is so beautiful - Nothing in this world like a good print.

I can relate with your pain on waiting for a brighter day for photo shooting.... But then again, we are talking about Melbourne's unpredictable weather hey!

I like your work btw... :)

I saw you in the etsy forums and I'm so glad I stopped by your blog. I love this piece - I've been fascinated with dotted lines lately and I really like how you're layering them - it's given me a bit of inspiration.

I really like the art and marketing interviews too!

I can't wait to explore your blog a little more.

Thanks!

wonderful blog! .. glad I found you on Etsy :)

Janelle said...

Feel better! And good luck with lighting - I think I must take about 30 photos to get one usable one (which still needs tweaking in photoshop).

just wanted to say thanks for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment! i especially love meeting folks from australia - we fell in love with it after visiting last year :) and i have to say, your artwork is quite lovely, wow!

A very interesting painting...I thought it was stitching when I first saw it. It looks like a marshland scene to me, light bouncing and reflecting off the water, with red reeds making a bold statement in the midst.

That's what I love so much about art...everyone sees something different!

Thanks for stopping by my blog, you are welcome anytime :-)

All the best,
Belinda

it's all paint! inspired by stitching and texture!

this is a little different in style, but i guess i have a few different styles on the go! sometimes i wonder what would happen if i had more time to work!
