SOC 4 week 6, last week.

It's the last week of SOC 4.

This was my first time playing along, and it has been so much fun. Hopefully I'll play along next year as well. Thanks alot to Kristin for hosting this event, and to all the participants for their art and visits and not least all their lovely comments. It has been such joy to read all your lovely words, thank you all for taking the time, it's much appreciated.

This weeks colors made me so happy, these colors are my favorites. It felt just like a dessert after a five course dinner. Now, what to make of these beautiful colors?
As usual I sat down to play with the colors without any intention of making anything special.



Just doodles and then colors. I also used nib and ink on this one. I knew this wasn't going to be my work for the week so I continued with a quick sketch on the same sheet of paper.


When this were done I realized that my feeling of dessert colors was going to be what I should make. I added the blue for the plate and grey for shadow and spoon.


When I saw this photo I saw something still missing and had to do a little extra work with my pencil.


It's served!

The lemon yellow I used as vanilla sauce. When I saw this photo, my mouth were watering. Fresh berries is one of my favorites in summer. Now, I'm so looking forward to the plum season, I can hardly wait.
Let me finish off by saying thank you to everyone, it has been a pleasure to play with you all.

  3. I love your berries & vanilla, and also the colourful doodles! They remind me of crocheted circles and I actually first thought they were, when I looked at your pics from the small screen of my phone.

    I'm glad to have found your blog via the SOC, and wanna say thanks for visiting mine as well!

  5. Like Salla, I thought your circles were crochet on first glance. These are lovely patterns, love the colours you chose and all the circles within circles.
    Your actual SOC piece is terrific, well thought out and beautifully painted.
