Somehow I was unable to get the last few pictures larger so here is the last one again.

Wax hot
Decided it was time to play with some hot  bees wax.

 

I began by collecting some materials together.

The primed board,  pattern tissue and two pieces of background paper.

I coated the board with two coats of wax and built up the layers of various paper, brushing on more wax as I went.

 

After waxing on the dragonfly I decided to remove it's body then draw it in with pen.

 

 

I added a little colour on the left and some stencilling at the top and some paper below.

 

 

 

A small gift for friends at the Art & Soul Art

Impermanence

After visiting a very artistic antique shop on the road north of Auckland I was taken with this rusting watering can. I have been playing around with it for a few days. I felt it needed a title so I called it   Impermanence  .

 

Worring takes away todays peace

Yesterday I went to Matakana Saturday market, what a live bustling place it is and great for
for photography ....was that why I went ?
After the market I looked around the town where I stumbled upon this delightful shop round the back of the main street. I asked if I could photograph the bowls that were on display, they instantly appealed and I felt a picture coming on. Here it is
with a little manipulation of course.
