Where did the time fly?
I've had a busy year and my life is good. My studio has been closed all winter, I've been playing with yarn and hook/needles, but now I couldn't resist any more. Studio is open and I deep into the paint. It feels so good and as always when I start the ideas keep coming faster than I can grab them.
From time to time I have several magpies in the garden and the other day we had lovely sunny weather and the magpies really showed them self off.
At first glance one can easily think they're just black and white, but they actually have the most beautiful colors hidden in the feathers. The magpies was what got me started, and since then I have not stopped.
Twinks, neocolors and watercolor pencils. Black and white ink.
I hope you have a gorgeous sunday.
a wonderful looking magpie Laila! Happy creating, and happy PPF too!
ReplyDeleteLovely painting Laila!
ReplyDeleteWonderful magpie painting. They truly are beautiful. It seems most black colored birds have deep blues and purples in their feathers.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Magpie painting Laila! I love crows and other raptors with black feathers. In the sunlight they become dark rainbows.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy being back at the studio :)
