weekend
I have been working quite a bit on a nearly finished 5 ft. canvas that I have made for the kitchen wall. Hubby wanted something "very collage like" with bright colors. Well, he didn't get the palette he wanted but he did get a piece of his own photography - a picture of a car he took while in India. When I saw this photo, I knew that I had to use it somehow.
I used a lot of tranfers in this piece and although I have yet to perfect the technique, I like where it is going and have a bit of inspiration for some newer, larger pieces.
I have also been having a bit of fun working with some paper projects including paper flowers. I love these! I like the size and the fact that they keep their color and don't ever die. Wonderful as we start heading in to the dark months here in Norway.
And finally, the wonderful Angela Cartwright has awarded me with this fantastic Brillante award, something which I am not quite sure that I deserve, but nonetheless, will take it, thank her and pass it on.
There are so many blogs out there that I visit frequently so I will list a few more for your viewing pleasure. Check out the ones in my previous post as well!Have a great week!

Love this piece erika! It's neat seeing your work larger than what I'm used to seeing. I want to move in that direction too.
i love your art erika. it's so fresh and uncluttered. your blog is lovely too; i stop by frequently after finding it quite by accident, a happy accident. thanks for the inspiration!
The large canvas piece is awesome. I love the colour palette and the transfers came out beautifully!
