It's all in the mix!
Of light and shadow, of sweet and bitter, of different colors, of textures, of fabrics ... Life, like art, needs contrasts - and life, like art needs balance to find harmony and - transform potentiall chaos into richer meaning and happiness.
I hope, your week is going well so far - and you do manage to find the magic ingredient, that makes your day sparkle and shine.
Above you see a new corkage painting from a series of six i've recently worked on, using vintage magazine paper, tinfoil paper from italian sweets along with other bits and pieces and some layers of acrylics and gouache. To give you a feel of the size, i've montaged it into a stillife picture i found in my archive - thanks to Lonny Magazine, they're always good for some great interior inspiration - check it out!

I love the layering and the contrasts, it's beautiful. What a good idea to use vintage magazine paper for the collage! :) I've been busy doing other things over the summer but I'm back now and can't wait to get my paints out again.xx
