Just finished painting the back of my violin case...

I painted this case for my niece.

Am in the middle of repainting my violin case with brighter colours

Tequila Sunrise

Really got into the dots with this one!!

Finally something new !!!

My first art in ages, been focusing on music - so made sense for my first project to be my violin case - something I get to keep for a change :) have got two more cases lying around so won't be the only one, but will paint a bag & the amp next.

art & life

Still haven't done any painting for ages - as I said earlier - am thinking of switching to hardboard, but haven't got around to pursuing that - would be nice to do some really big works - see how that goes.

But for now I'm really busy with work, as in for money, the boring but at the moment essential kind. Not much time for more than sleeping & eating (& being put on hold for hours on the phone by various agencies that I unfortunately have to deal with in my not so spare time).

This will wind down in winter, & then I'd like to think I'll get back into some serious painting. (not that my work's that serious - but you know what I mean). I take my work very seriously in that I love painting & work hard at it. I'm very interested in layering at the moment, layering different textures, using stenciling, experimenting with different ways of applying paint etc So it's all just happening in my head but not coming out. a bit frustrating but that's life.

haven't done any art for ages!

haven't done any painting for a while - among other things my supplier of cheap canvas's has finally run out, may switch to hardboard or other materials - hope to get back into it soon - been fully into violin though which took a back seat while I was painting - so it's all good I guess :-) watch this page
