IF – mesmerizing
Saturday, September 17th, 2011Illustration Friday´s theme this week is Mesmerizing. I made this textile portrait a few years ago, but still find his eyes quite mesmerizing. (I can admit to being proud of my creation, right?) In any case, I am currently working on another couple of textile portraits, in preparation for my Art& Soul workshop in Portland [...]
IF influence
Saturday, August 20th, 2011“Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears” Arthur Koestler Influence is Illustration Friday´s theme this week. I think Arthur´s quote is a good guideline for so many everyday challenges. The lovely diva in the picture is Gertrude Lawrence, starring in “Oh, Kay!”. But personally the word influence for me this [...]
If-remedy
Wednesday, July 6th, 2011Silent movie star, Louise Brooks modeled for this weeks theme at IF: remedy. I didn´t have my usual colors of paint, so everything intended brown, turned olive, and basically the whole color-scheme evolved by itself, as I played around with the paint.

I’m goin’ on a manhunt, turn it around Women have been hunted, now they’re huntin’ around Manhunt, we all got the need The one that’s been waitin’ has taken the lead I see him every day in [...]
Journey-journal
Sunday, April 17th, 2011Illustration Friday´s theme this week is journey, so I thought maybe a travel-journal might be appropriate? My calender/travel-journal/art-journal with workshop-notes and Artfest-trades. (Love my pink pages after the pale pages of winter!) Not all pages are finished yet, this is a work-in-progress. Some stamps, some scraps, some tape, some paint… … some crayons, some lettering, [...]
Arting at Michelle´s and if-duet
Tuesday, April 5th, 2011Lots of smaller stuff being done today, but I managed to finish a journal-page. Part collage, part trying out new paint colors, and part random text. The colors are Golden´s Quinacridone Azo gold and Turquoise pthalo. And an attempt at Illustration Friday´s theme Duet. The idea is ok, but I notice that I need practice [...]

If-sweater
Sunday, February 20th, 2011Turtleneck sweaters will never be the same again. Neither will she. Originally I wanted a photo of Marilyn Monroe, one of those taken when she was young, and on the beach. I´m working on costumes for a play about Marilyn, so I thought it would be nice to do a collage with her. I couldn´t [...]
If-dusty
Thursday, January 27th, 2011Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso One of my favorite quotes. And one of my favorite kids.
