If-winter
Sunday, December 26th, 2010Winter by the sea. Colder than it looks….
IF-mail
Monday, December 20th, 2010My Christmas-card this year. Lots of shells I found this summer, make a perfect purple advent-background. I was going to wait another few days with wishing everyone a great christmas, but then IF came and messed that up . So: Have a wonderful December, a peaceful Christmas and a great new year! Or maybe I [...]
If-pre-historic
Sunday, December 5th, 2010Who are you calling pre-historic? Extinct?!! I´ll show you extinct!!! This small acrylic painting/collage in my calender-journal was inspired by the theme (of course) and my Hidden Secret book I made in April. The total size is about 10×10 cm. I used a high-gloss medium on the eye for a naturalistic reflection in the eye. [...]
If-savour
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010Illustration Friday´s theme this week is savour. The definition is: 1. The spesific taste or smell of something 2. A distinctive sensation “You must pre-live the future, not re-live the past… and savor the moment!” I first thought of lemons and could almost taste them just by thinking about them… and decided I´d work with [...]
If-sneaky
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010I know, I´m getting ahead of myself here, all of a sudden in a Christmas-mood. It must be the advent-calenders I´m making This definitely has an element of H.C. Andersen: “Girl with the sulfur-matches”-feel to it, or maybe it´s a little bit of Cinderella. What is it with me and fairy-tales lately?
If-afterwards
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, and the lesson afterwards. Vernon Law I found the quote and really, really liked it, because it is so true. Then I found this painted portrait I made an attempt at a couple of years ago in my art-journal. There are a couple of [...]
IF-spent
Saturday, October 30th, 2010Illustration Friday´s theme this week is Spent. I immediately thought of the song”Angel Eyes”, which has been on my repertoire for years. It´s an old standard jazz-tune, maybe best known in Ella Fitzgerald´s recording. The lyrics say mispent, not spent, but weather time is well-spent or mis-spent, well, you don´t always know untill it´s too [...]
IF-racing
Sunday, October 24th, 2010Illustrations Friday´s theme is Racing, and here is a little weekend-painting from my journal. I found an old photograph online, that I looked at for inspiration. It´s a bit rough in edges and expression, not thoroughly worked-through, but I kind of like it anyway.
IF- spooky
Saturday, October 16th, 2010Illustration Friday´s theme this week is Spooky. I don´t know how spooky my illustration is, but if they decide to start playing, it could turn scary… Here´s Dusty Springfield´s Spooky. Personally I think the music is cool, and the hair-do is the frightening part!
