Yes, at last some new paintings with collage - ready to be framed for our
'Culture 2 Culture' exhibition. I want to have 10 of these for the show. The image size is about A4. They are based on the magical karst mountains of Guilin and the Li river.
And yes, I resolved the drawing of the lily.
I am nearly up to my 200th post, so look out for a give away soon :)
These look beautiful Noela. Pity they need to be framed as they look gorgeous just floating .... I love the lyrical element of the lines.
ReplyDeletec'est magnifique! avec des touches d'or ..pour ce 200 billet ..une réussite, comme pour les 199 avant..
ReplyDeleteN-must be a great feeling to have a new body of work on the boil. Love the simplicity and sweeping strokes of the first piece of the mountains and river. Hope the rest of the pieces come together hand are framed n time for exhibition. B
ReplyDeleteWhat a breath of fresh air these are! With each one I thought, "That's my favorite" and then can the lily...simply exquisite. All of them are really. Congratulations on the new work.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, can't wait to see them at the exibition.
