Nanas Galore and more

Hi Everybody!

We had a cold and damp day again, but I am sure the weather will change again soon! That is one thing we can predict with certainty!

Today I have another page of dancing Nanas to share, inspired by Niki de Saint Phalle. I had a lot of fun painting it. The background was done with sky blue acrylic, sprinkled with fairy dust and textured with a dry background stamp. I used my stencils to draw the Nanas and had lots of fun colouring them and giving them happy bathing costumes. I am linking to Art Journal Journey, inspired by the masters, and to Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and Kristin.

This is a Nana figure I made some years back, using wire, paper  and plaster bandages. She was made to hang from a hook on the ceiling. Unfortunately the hook was not strong enough, and sooner or later she fell down and broke her arm, which I have since repaired. I tried to hang her from the door to take the photos, and did my best, but hope to get someone to fix me a proper hook so she can fly free. She should have been a lot rounder, but I had to make do with the materials I had, and so she turned out as a thin Nana!

In the grey and misty morning the birds were again sitting in the tree waiting for their food:

I met Mrs Blackbird on my walk:

Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
