Margaret - new painting

Art is dominating my life at the moment and I'm loving it! This is one of those times when everything just flows and I am going with it.
I'm rediscovering my love for painting on collaged and textured surfaces. I guess I'm remembering what I loved most when I first started painting.
Margaret
11 x 14 inch mixed media painting
And here's the next painting I started. I can already see it finished in my mind. But usually it looks very different from that internal image when it's done... somehow my art is still always a surprise to me.
Thank you all for your kind comments on my blog! I always love it when you visit!! And I try to visit as many of you as I can each day. Your blogs always inspire me!!

P.S. I'm just giving these girls names that come to mind as I work on them. The images aren't actually based on anyone I know...

  1. Hi Silke.
    You sound happy with art dominating your life right now. It dominates my thoughts but I can't find the time to put it out there. ~sigh~
    Margaret is very nice ~ you can see she is deep in thought. I love the background on the painting you are just starting.
    Happy day!!
