Feathery Art

So I've been squirrelling away, finally burst through my creative block and have been busy making lots of art, mostly using my Life Book lessons as inspiration!

Here are 2 recent artworks I created... Feeling the feathery love!

This first painting is an affirmation feather, inspired by Tamara Laporte's Life Book lesson. The feather, I aimed for a more painterly effect, and I do like the effect of the splashes of colour contrasting with the white space. In the lesson, the feather has affirmations written within the spine of the feather but for my version I omitted these, as I felt the feather was "enough" as is.



My second painting is from a Lifebook lesson by Rachel Rice, based upon creating a dream catcher. I LOVE the moody tones of this, very different form my usual style and I am really digging black gesso mixed with very iridescent metallic paints at the moment! My new-found love! The affirmations on the feather were from a positive body image guided meditation I completed recently, from The Honest Guys' youtube. I love the effect and the quite (from Disney!) in the centre of the dream catcher really resonates with me.
