Paintbook Twoo/7

…and then I wondered what it it would look like if I painted circles within circles over a circled background….

…oh…

…it looks like that….

Circled Skull Blue

…blue blue…

…circled blue…

…that’s the colour of my room…

…where I will live…

…in circled skullers….

…(saxophone solo)…

…(sorry Dave)…

Circled Skull Yellow

….you know there’s going to be one of these for all seven colours of the rainbow, right?….

…just as well you’re sitting comfortably….

….could be a long (colourful) week…

Paintbook Twoo/6

…instead of doing a page for each colour grouping…

…as per the previous post….

…I did this….

…maybe I’m destined to paint circles….

….lots and lots of colourful circles….

Paintbook Twoo/5

…”maybe I’ll try that circle thing in monotone”…

….that was the premise….

…here’s the result….

…the queue for the “50 shades” quips starts here…..

Paintbook Twoo/4

…it may not look like it form recent sketchbook posts, but…

…ever since I had the covid all I can paint is circles…..

…lots and lots of cicles…

…over and over again….

…in a variety of colours…

…(thankfully)….

5 of 5

…last of that 2022 art arc…

….yes, that’s hand stamped….

…and it’s backwards….

…but this one isn’t….

…and you’d like to read it?….

…ok…

….yep…

…both pieces ruled out in little squares and each letter stamped once left to right then once right to left….

….rinse and repeat….

….2052 characters and spaces per piece….

…took for ages….

…oh, and the paired pieces lean away from their “mirrored” counterparts for two reasons…

…one :- in my mind it gives the impression that the pattern continues beyond the given edge (discovered because the patterns looked to boxy in paintbook)…

…two :- I felt that the larger pen pieces were heading in the opposite direction from what I really really wanted to do….the larger painted pieces!…

….all hung and photographed in procession on the only wall in the house where I wouldn’t have to remove a million pieces of wall baggage to accomodate them (did have to shift the recycled ply hoard…probably shouldn’t have that in my boudoir, but, you know, hoarding!)…or stand on the end of the bed (unmade)…

…now all I have to do is get them out of the house…

Further To My Previous Offering

..onto the next two…

…but first….

…remember this from way back in February last year?…

…it’s a colour guide for these….

…same pattern as last post…

…and yes…

…the colours on one piece mirror the colours on the other….

…oops…blurry….

…but you get the idea…

…right?…

…(please don’t make re-take the pic’s…it took for ages!!..and was exhausting)….

Paintbook Twoo/3

…holy crap…

…I haven’t posted a paintbook page since before I had covid….

…that’s like September last year!….

….and this is what covid did to my painter brain….

…was going to try and emulate the background-circle effect as seen in the last post….

…with something in the fore ground…

…covid brain neglected to process that in sketchbook I was doing the foreground first and the circles were generating from points on said foreground, not appearing as a fixed/regimented background….

…like the one I’d just finished producing….

…over two pages…

…mmm… thank you covid brain….

…(at least I know I can paint circles, right?)…

Paintbook Twoooooooooo

….got another A4 paintbook….

…painted in it….

…will paint in it again….
