tangled painting and zia

I'm all packed to go but have some time to post a recent zia I completed at the Tuesday art group, and a painting I have begun to tangle . Did this one at the "class" i have at home each fortnight. I have been itching to tangle a painting, and this was one I did with my students last week. They had to copy one of  Picasso's painted ladies faces. I also have a completed small canvas done by one of my "at home " students.
The zia below "Moonflower" was completed on two panels.

Not finished yet but I am having fun!

spiral fun #62

Wow! I have just checked through my "reading list" and some awesome spirals are happening! Diva's challenge 62  (to use a spiral and paradox together), has been met head on with some amazingly creative work. Always inspirational. I decided to do mine on my calendar page and get ahead with it a bit as I go away next week for 10 days to see family and grandies. In WA it is HOT, so I dont anticipate doing a lot of fine work, plus I will be painting and playing with my little sunshines of course. (You can tell I work at night cos I used a blue pen instead of black in some places!!)

calendar 7-9 march

Little bit different this time. I felt like doing some letters, so used the letters of the days. Think Im hooked on the black and red colour scheme!

Canvas tangles

At last I've put photos of my canvas tangles on the computer.What do you think?

 They are 2'x 2''

This is just a fun one. I had to work hard to NOT colour it!!Hope to sell these at the Art Teachers exhibition soon.

Challenge #61, calendar.

Still no laptop, it actually needs a new hard drive, how bout that! Anyway, I'll have to look for my camera wires so I can put photos on of some recent tangles on canvas.
This weeks challenge is to use the tangle "Golven"by Mariet. its one I really like so I enjoyed this. I thought what can I do with it? Did some normal first, then a variation or two. Plus some colour for more effects.

I continue to thoroughly enjoy working on Caroles calendar. I was inspired by Margaret Bremner's work on stippling (sorry havent learnt links yet) so attempted a page of stippling. When I finished, I felt they would look better singly.The technique appealed to me though. I like the gentleness of it.

I recently completed another coloured pencil work, this time I added quite a few tangles to the design. Title "Imagine 2"
