Painting my world

Challenging mixed media

Mixed media painting is always a challenge.The painting leads you to unknown outcome.You combine media as well as techniques and follow your intrinsic knowledge. Most of the time the finishind piece is something quite different from what you have planned it to be…And you think: is this me? The Artist?

This is the story behind my two small mixed media paintings that took months to complete.

Eucalyptus

I love pale gray-green leaves of eucalyptus tree…but in my recent painting I couldn`t resist to paint them in bluish tones.In the background a modelling paste was added for textural effect.
