Painting makes me happy
I long to paint again, especially when I see this painting. It hangs above my bed and it makes me happy. And proud. And amazed, because it was me who painted it. Me! I have been so unusually busy away from home lately that my acrylic paints are soon to start collecting dust, settling in […]
My First Try: Painting Abstract on Canvas
Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. Buddha I have covered almost all of the first layers but that was how it should be. How it had to be. This time in front of my square formed canvas I was trying to feel abstract inside. […]
Starting to appreciate Abstract Art
Ten years ago I had no appreciation for abstract art. I couldn’t understand it and I wasn’t interested in it. But when you make art yourself you view others art with greater interest and newborn curiosity… You step closer and see everything more clearly. In a way when you think of yourself as an artist […]
Jesse Reno’s book Truth will measure
I bought artist Jesse Reno’s book Truth will Measure a few weeks ago. And I love it! I don’t by art books very often, I think this is maybe the second time in my life that I’ve splurged on a book that hasn’t got any text at all, no articles or even art how-tos! It’s […]
Paper patchwork background
The baking is postponed, maybe Christmas will be canceled? Haha, wouldn’t that be something? No, I’m not worried. I know it will be okay, we’ll all be well in two days I think. And in the meantime I feel like blogging, so I’m going to ramble on because I usually don’t. I tend to plan […]
It’s getting cold outside
This morning my breath looked like smoke when I came out from our house. The days are still quite warm when the sun is out, but at night frost have been seen. When I biked to town this morning I was thinking about mittens, and the many dark days to come. I wished I had […]
Mixed media painting
This is a mixed media painting on a canvas that I made last week. I put all my paints on the living room floor and made it in steps. Started with my vellum pen, continued with Chinese papers and paint. Then I also tried a picture transfer with gel medium – and it worked. The […]
Adolescent | Assemblage Doll Painting II
My second assemblage ever. I’m such a newbie at this, but I enjoyed the process and hmm.. the result too actually. Even though so many of you seem to think I’m deranged… And I don’t mind! I look at these two assemblages with dolls (they are not barbies but much smaller) and I might agree, […]
Adulthood | a try at assemblage
ASSEMBLAGE An artistic process in which a three-dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together found objects. Assemblage is the three-dimensional cousin of collage. [quote from here] I’ve been wanting to work with assemblage for a long time, and since I am drawn to dolls of all kinds I went with that. I love my […]
A Pink Mondrian
Here is a detail of my painting: I keep calling this painting my Mondrian even though it’s painted by me, Hanna, and not Mondrian himself! If I could afford a Mondrian I wouldn’t buy one anyway, hehe! I made mine in pink, even though Mondrian is red-blue-yellow, and I also used some bits of text […]
Smiling crow painting
I’ve made a painting! It looks like this: It’s a smiling crow painted in gouache tempera on canvas (23×30 cm), with collaged flowers on top (with papers from a vintage music sheet). It was so interesting to see it grow out of a sketch (you might recognize its origins from a postal stamp image I […]
