Tonal Attempts in Acrylic and Mixed Media

Towards the end of last year I have moved most of my art materials into my new art room/studio. A pretty exciting event. It’s a lovely space that we’ve built onto our land right next door to where we live. It also doubles as a guest room when/if needed – so there is a kitchenette and bathroom as well.

I’m a fairly tidy artist, so there’s no major rearranging to do if we have family or friends stay. There’s a photo from in there below; I’ll share more of it in another post. My home is still set up with art spaces to work in as well…feeling rather spoilt and thankful†! 

I had the oil paints out for tiny bit – lovely lush feel and colours, but so slow to dry! Will try them again – eventually.

The next painting is inspired by a view of paddocks just across the road from my art studio.(Been calling it an art room, but studio sounds rather nice!) Not so much a tonal style, more a series of patterns….in many ways composition is like creating interesting patterns.

Thanks for visiting here, and I hope you have a lovely day!
