Hello and welcome,

In 2016 I didn't complete a lot of my Wanderlust lessons, hence the reason why I didn't sign up last year, but I did sign up for the 2018 class and am determined to do better. 

With the advise from Kasia in the back of my head to be open and explore I started my project for Michelle Turbide's class, which was a class on intuitive painting.

my stepstones for this project were: 

1. layers
2. water/lake
3. pinks and purples

Here you can see the progress of my canvas:

Here I created my lake, but as you can see in the next picture it turned into a meandering river (ok, this is still water)

But the river felt more like a path (ok, no water anymore) towards a sunset

Layers and layers of acrylic paint and inks later it was ready for the final touch,
my butterfly tree.

I LOVE IT!!!

Circus

Yesterday it was Ascension day so we all had a day off and the weather was beautiful.

I wanted to craft as it was a while ago since I did anything, but didn’t want to sit inside with such nice weather, so I grabbed my brushes, paints and canvas and painted outside.

I actually don't have an easel, so I used my son's drawing board instead.

I followed the instructions of Flora Bowley's Wanderlust lesson on intuitive painting, it was so much fun.

Here is a picture of the progress the painting made

And here the “finished” painting.

I say finished but I’m thinking of adding some collage elements to it.

My husband sees a circus in it and now I do too, and the hearts are like a guirlande.

This painting is actually a joint effort together with my son because when he saw me painting he just needed to join in

he made the hearts

and in the right corner wrote 'lieve mama' which means sweet mum in the purple heart.

and he signed the canvas with both are names
