Hi guys I missed last week as we were away at a family gathering down the coast but i have been working on more portraits over the last couple of weeks first up is Morgan Freeman (well my interpretation of him).
I've always loved his face, such an interesting one to paint and of course his acting and that voice!!!
Next up was a painting of Noel Fielding from a show called 'The Mighty Boosh', if you haven't seen it it's completely out there but very funny, a quirky British show.
This next painting is one that I've done for our new rumpus room, we've been going through renovations (stage 3 of our big plan) and it's nearly finished, newly painted with lots of bare walls so I decided to paint this tree painting to compliment our colour scheme, i just did it on a whim but had so much fun and I'm really happy with it! :0)
Last but not least here are some experiments I did with some sea rocks that I picked up last weekend, some I painted on and others were perfect the way nature made them so I just varnished them. I'm now looking for a small drill to drill a hole through the top to make into pendants!
If anyone has any tips on how to drill these it would be much appreciated!!! Looking forward to seeing what you've all been up to! x
wonderful painting.. please be so kind and turn off yoor word verification...
ReplyDeletethank you!It´s so hard to comment on your blog!
Great portraits, you are a great fisonomista. Saludos
ReplyDeleteIt is true his word verificción is very difficult.
Wow, you NAILED Morgan Freeman! Gorgeous paintings and the rocks are such a cool idea, I can't wait to see how you make it work!
ReplyDeleteYou really captured the likeness of both Morgan Freeman and Noel Fielding (I just can't get into his humour unfortunately!) and I love the almost spooky quality to the tree silhouette painting.
ReplyDeletethose stones are beautiful - such amazing shapes the sea has sculpted some of them into.
Loving your portraits and that fab tree painting. Happy PPF and enjoy the weekend, Annette x
ReplyDeleteGreat paintings! Love the tree one for your home ans those rocks are great too.
ReplyDeleteLove Morgan - he is quite a challenge and you got him spot on.
ReplyDeleteMy other half used to be a miner so I'll ask him about the drilling!!
Great portraits! I love Morgan Freeman too... his voice and his face. And those stone are incredible. Amazing when we really notice the textures & colours. They'd be beautiful as pendants (with your little paintings on them). Happy PPF! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat portraits! I love also the rocks you found, we always enjoy finding little treasures too, when we go to the coast.
ReplyDeleteAs for drilling, I guess you will have to keep them wet, like when cutting ceramic tile? But there's strong glue/epoxy, to add a metal hook to hang them. Just a thought....
Wonderful portraits Nic! I love the painting for your renovated room - hope you will show it to us up on the wall.
ReplyDeleteLovely stones.
(P.S. - btw do you know you have word verification on?)

My, you have captured Morgan beautifully.....recognized him right away as did my daughter who adores him.
ReplyDeleteAdore your love bird owls in your header...so cute and whimsical. Truly luv your style.
About drilling the rocks...never done it but I have drilled glass and if you look on line I'm sure you'll find some information on what drill type to use....probably submersed in water like glass , although not certain.I use a dremel .
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the portraits. Yes, Morgan has an awesome face, and Noel has a fabulous nose. Love the swirly tree for the rumpus room.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job & those rocks are sweet!!
