I tried to follow up on some good advise I've been given recently. Since I have so many different projects to do, and litlle time to do them in, I keep jumping from one thing to an other.
Not doing them properly. Not giving them my proper attention, is better phrased. And offcourse not finishing any of the projects I lay my hands on. A friend told me to work in blocks. That way one week ends up being Thrift-painting-upcycling-week, and another gets to be: preparing for market season.
Last week I worked on old painings, faded, damaged or dicarded and turned them into new and better versions. This slightly boring painting with a nice frame turned into a happy pink cloud:
I was happy to have kept a detail of the painting that I liked... the girl in the 'a'.
I'm not a great fan of pink, but the words 'choose happy' and pink seemed to belong together. And I can imagine it ending up somewhere to brighten up somebodies day.
An other one I made was one of the flower-series. Beautiful print behind glass, but... missing the wow, the yeah and the aaaahhh. It was a bit.... boring. So I made it into a cleverly gift, with the tekst ´Honey, if you were flowers, i´d pick a bunch of you´. It´s spraypainted onto the glass.
And ofcourse I made more. But I´m saving them up for next time.
