An art journal page inspired by my Scandinavian roots. I created a stencil of the bunnies facing away from each other and used them back and forth. Lots of doodling for each set across. The page is framed by a leaf pattern and there's a heart at the top center.

Ready for Easter? Bunnies, bunnies, bunnies...

Completed painting: man lying face down in the grass looking at his phone, while a girl stands over him, mouth agape, pointing at him.

Again, working on a black background with acrylic paint and paletteknife.
Here is a view on the Linn of Dee (river Dee), in the Cairngorms national park. #cairngormmountains #cairngormsnationalpark #acrylicpaint #art #blackbackground #blackgesso #scotland #Linnofdee

Working with a black background (gesso); the first one by drawing with (white) chalk and the second one (still work in progress) by painting with acrylic paint. To discover what a colored background will bring you as a painter. #blackgesso #blackbackground #chalk #acrylicpaint #scotland
