Work 32 for my 52 week challenge. : )

My 22nd work for my 52 week project. My daughter, Perrin, who is 17. Camera Model Canon EOS 600D Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/125 Av( Aperture Value ) 2.8 ISO Speed 160 Lens EF100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

I like doodles, I like flowers, I love Moroccan patterns. Putting them all in one place was very satisfying for me. (Although it took an age to do!) And then, I couldn't choose just one colour version, so this is the fourth of four. : )

A softer, pastel colorway of my Wonderland in Spring work, in shades of mauve, blue, plum and palest purple.

Hope you like it!

Another colour version of my lime Ikat pattern.

A repeat created from hand painted watercolor patterns, in deep indigo, navy blue and white.

My 47th work in my interminable 52 week challenge. I WILL finish! : ) Berries growing over the fence from my neighbor's garden.

Hope you like it!

Yesterday I was given some pomegranates - beautiful, breathtaking objects that they are - so of course I had to make something of them. (Thank you, Ryan and Karen!) A lot of things about this pattern are outside of my comfort zone, I tend towards blues & greens, soft pastels and neutrals, and this is, well, red and magenta and super contrasty and bold. My adviser here at home (by which I mean my wonderful daughter) tells me it's okay to work outside of my comfort zone, sometimes.

Hand painted, textured, translucent watercolor hexagon cubes in teal, blue, grey, purple, green, magenta, melon, pink, orange and peach.

Imperfectly geometrical. Oil paint on canvas. Abstract.

My little artist, Mila (4), who draws all day long and who would paint all day long, if I would let her. This was taken using natural light, in front of my bedroom window. More and more I find myself wishing I had studio lights.... sigh... How wonderful that would be. I used my 18-55mm lens because I wanted to see if I am still capable of taking a portrait without my macro lens, which I tend to use for everything. : ) Camera Model Canon EOS 500D

Yesterday, I got it into my head to paint a hexagon pattern BY HAND ... Don't know what I was thinking. Trying to make my inner perfectionist crazy, perhaps? Mission accomplished, then. :)

A palest rose, plum, blush pink and white Art Deco pattern - makes me think of circus tents. :)

Another hand drawn pattern. : )

The second in a series of abstract paintings, full of rich color and organic forms.

Another hand drawn pattern. : )

A hand drawn, flower & leaf pattern in a Moroccan shape. I used pencil to make this zentangle-style Moroccan pattern, then coloured & finished it in Photoshop. The hardest part is choosing the colours, I couldn't choose just one colourway so this may turn into a series. Definitely two versions, maybe more. : )

I used my hand drawn lily & lotus pattern, my own textures in canvas & ink, a custom vector shape that I created in Photoshop with my favorite colors in this moroccan inspired work. : )

I love this soft colour. This is really just an experiment in shades of turquoise and teal.

A Moroccan tile collage of marble textures in shades of rose quartz, amethyst, charcoal, cream and pink with golden colored edges.

A textured, art deco / art nouveau pattern in subtle shades of sky blue, purple and mauve with silvery grey outlines.

All the pretty colors! : ) An abstract painting reminiscent of iridescent fabric.
