Returning to my first love; I painted this little atmospheric sketch in acrylics today. A cold wet moody day in the sunshine. Swirling brush strokes lend movement to the family in this painting. Perhaps I’ll work more on it for a bigger painting…

Maria, my daughter
A few paintings inspired by Maria, my daughter. Btw, Maria (now a Midwife) paints in her spare time! Her work can be viewed here: Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/marianielsenart/

Mother and Daughter
Over the years, I have painted many portraits of my daughter, Maria. This one below is probably one of my favourites. Actually, as I am writing out this post I am getting an idea for the next post, which could be a presentation of all of the portraits together. Well, for now, here is a simple Silhouette painting of a Mother and Daughter sharing a special moment.

Black silhouettes on clay
So as you know if you’ve been following my posts recently I am working a lot with clay these days. I love the simplicity of throwing a clay vase and finding a simple decoration idea.The clay dictates what it wants to do on the wheel! Here’s a terra-cotta vase covered with a red slip. The figures are painted in black under glaze. Now it needs to be bisque fired and finally fire glazed. A lengthly process! I have quite a few vases on the go at the moment so hopefully they’ll all turn out well. I am not a trained Potter, so it is learning by doing and having fun along the way!
