Plein air sketch

It's not January I am used to. The weather is warm and sunny, and thanks to that, I had a wonderful Sunday afternoon in a local park filled with pleasant scent of pine needles. This colorful tree branch carrying the leaves of the last year was literally begging to be painted. As you can imagine, I just happened to have a sketchbook with me. And not only the sketch, I have also taken photos of the park's beautiful dry flowers. Blended together, the pine's magical scent and the colors of the sleeping flowers created truly charming and mystical atmosphere that turned the weekend into unique artistic experience.

Tropical fish

I had so much fun working on these journal pages! In case you wonder, the background cracks is a result of inserting crackle medium between two layers of acrylic paint: champagne gold and white. I let that "sandwich" dry and then used watercolors to paint the fish on top of it.

Christmas magnet

There remain a few days before Christmas, can you believe this? It's time to make up something for a festive mood! I created a birdie magnet for my Zazzle store and I like the product they sent me back. Thanks to this magnet my ordinary fridge has now got a holiday appearance:) Here are some pictures of magnet I made recently.
Hope you have a wonderful time in anticipation of Christmas!
