Summer Trees or (Go Fly a Kite)

Acrylic on card 19cm x 16cm

Although I am supposed to do each piece in the same place and at the same time each day, I have realised that it is an impossibility when you have a four year old to run around after. So, today I compromised.
I had to take my son to his theatre arts group which meets every saturday morning. So when I would normally be walking around the shops in Guildford High St, I took my project bag with me & worked on the flat surface of the boot lid of my car! So the time was the same, but today I had to change the venue. It was quite enjoyable working outside, but of course your acrylics dry more quickly!
Another beautiful sunny day and a warm 25 degrees.

Beach Umbrellas

Acrylic on Card

An Abstract in acrylic, inspired by my recent 4 day trip to Mallorca.

It has turned out very differently than I had imagined it would.
The blue strips are the sun loungers under the reed grass umbrellas.

Wide Open Spaces

Egg Tempera & Pen on card

I didn't feel very inspired this morning, although the weather is great again & all I had in my head was beach scenes! I decided though that a country scene was needed. It reminded me of hot summer days and country walks when I was a young girl, with insects buzzing about and long grasses tickling my legs.



I have used a medium that I am not familiar with - egg tempera - and then gone over with pen.

Summer's Here

Acrylic on card

So here it is, the first one complete - 29 to go!

Inspiration this morning must have been the weather - blue sky, sunshine and a lovely 23 degrees C. Wishing I was still in Mallorca but enjoying the fact that the UK has some great weather at last!
