Theme Thursday - Miniature Art

Hi Everyone...

The theme this week on Theme Thursday is "Miniature" and I just finished a piece I worked on that is miniature for me...I usually create my wood and pyrography pieces on large wooden canvases....so this is as miniature as I get with these wood burned art pieces....

Spring has inspired me to create some floral pieces as you may have noticed this week....
and so you get a sense of the small size I took a photo from a past piece ...the larger one...and my latest piece with Cole....he is so sweet!!! and so supportive of my art....

Happy Thursday!!!

Theme Thursday and Some paints to Experiment with....

Hello Everyone....oh what fun!!! The theme this week on Theme Thursday is Famous Faces...so I did some Hollywood Starlets!!! hope you enjoy this piece....

I found my latest paints for inspiration...these are liquid acrylics and they are like jewels....I will be experimenting with these and varnish to see if this will be a perfect fit for my latest body of work....the wood canvas and pyrography work....I just can't stop staring at these....

The greatest part about working alone in your studio is the experimentation....the trial and error.....everyone sees the finished product your happy with...but they miss out on all the fun learning and chemistry stuff...lol...

Have a wonderful day....

I will be off to the Doctors to get some stuff checked out...so wish me luck!

Head in the Trees - Latest wood canvas with Pyrography...in my Transformation Series....submission to Crazy Amigos this week...

I took a photo of Cole with the piece so you can get a sense of the size....

Hi Everyone...This week's theme on Crazy Amigos is Proverbs and sayings....so I picked the following saying...."A person is known by the company he keeps...."

My piece is titled "Head in the Trees" as more and more people are taking more care to transform the way we think about the environment....and who doesn't love the company of a very old and wonderful tree....they are like support ...support for life...with the oxygen they replenish....support for our feathered friends who need a place to be sheltered....support for so much....

I also found this site that has a list of all the proverbs....pretty neat to read through them....

Here is the link....

Happy Tuesday!!!

My latest body of work...my medium wood....my ink...burning tools....my colour to be determined with some experimentation....Created by hand....

Hi Everyone...you probably remember my earlier sketch I did called "Transformation" this was the initial sketch that inspired my latest body of work....Every since I started working on my Neck art and using my burning tools...I have been in love with creating in this manner....as a result my latest pieces are coming to life....these canvases are all wood and my ink is my burning tool.....the colour will depend on some experimentation....as I would love to keep the wood grain visible....This whole series is called "Transformation" as I am working on 50 plus pieces for some solo Exhibitions.....I am giving myself about a year to see what comes to fruition....

here is the first....I love the way they remind me of being by a bon fire as I work...the scent is wonderful.....Pop by often to see where this journey takes me.....

hugs
Diana

My biggest fan always enjoys showing Mommy's work...I just adore Cole!!!
