Autumn wind, my current WIP for Paint Party Friday

Paint Party Friday

I’ve been so madly arting of late that I haven’t had time to post! But here is a quickie in honour of Paint Party Friday because that is what I’ve been doing – painting. I’ve been exploring my acrylics. I guess you could call this piece a big acrylic experiment because it has very much been a ‘let’s see what happens if I do this’ kind of painting.

It is not complete as yet, but getting close. Please excuse the horrific photography. It is late here and I don’t have the right lighting.

Autumn Wind WIP

Autumn Wind, work-in-progress, acrylic on canvas, approx. 500 x 500 mm.

And here are some slightly better piccies, though from an angle.

And here are a couple of even more WIP shots:

Autumn Wind WIP first layer

Autumn Wind WIP second layer

And a little blatant Colour porn, because I just love swirly and blendy colours :D

And don’t forget to drop by Paint Party Friday to check out all the other fantastic painters who hang around this corner of the web.

Best wishes,

    Now THAT is cool!!! How’d you do that? Are you using a stencil or did you paint all those leaves? I am loving your experiments! Happy Birthday too. Sounds like you’ve had really awesome month. Happy PPF! :-)

    This is really beautiful! How did you get the shapes of the leaves? are they applied or “pulled out”? So beautiful!

  6. Lesley on February 24, 2012 at 4:35 pm

    I like this a lot. The colours are glorious and you are creating so much movement. Thanks you for the WIP pics – I love to see how things happen :)

    Love these! The leaves sort of have a fractal structure, brilliant work.

    Wow! Great work. I really like the middle piece, with a combination of the swirly colors and the more defined shapes, but now I see this is all the same piece? I must be getting tired. It’s really fun to see your steps along the way.

  31. Ginny on February 25, 2012 at 11:51 am

    This is really beautiful. I love autumn and I love to feel a breeze. I could see and feel the movement in your painting.
