Daily Painting

Tonight I painted with acrylics for the soul purpose of painting.
I stopped thinking about the product and just enjoyed the process

Three Geishas

This is my Three Geishas tangle. I created some of these patterns and variations based on the template I was using for the main lines. I am happy with this one as a black and white piece, but I also want to do a geisha on painted watercolor paper. I think purples and greens would be pretty.

Painted Shoes

White canvas shoes I painted for my Godson. I'm tempted to get another pair of shoes and tangle on them. I used acrylic paints. A spray coat of varnish will protect them.

Zen Geisha

One of the many Tangled Geishas I have enjoyed drawing lately.

Great Wave Tangle

This tangle Inspired by Hokasai's  Great Wave at Kanagawa. I think coloring books are a great resource for artists to use as both inspiration and templates for creating work. I used a coloring book for this piece. I traced the lines I liked onto sketch paper and then tangled in between them.

Zen Garden

"Zen Garden" art Journal page. I usually don't like Spiders, but lately I have an obsession with drawing them into my tangles. I'm beginning to find them quite charming.

There are three insects total. I've been challenged to put a praying mantis and a ladybug in my next tangle. I suppose we will see if I can!

Medium: Watercolor paper, Holbien watercolors, Stabilo Ink pen, pencil for shading.
