Some kind of new Art

Since I have been meaning to add new photographs of my own work (as opposed to those of others), I have decided this is as good a time as any to add some of the older paintings first.

Moooh!

Above is the cow I painted using oils and mixed technique. Last year was all about painting animals. Most, if not all, are on canvas. I was rather surprised how they turned out, a bit like realising you can speak a new language when you thought you couldn't.

The new stuff I am working on is very experimental, mainly because I am trying out different compositions as well as new styles of paintings. The painting below is not finished but I am adding it to my "African Symbolism" collection - which is still very much work in progress.

Will try to add more as and when the inspiration strikes.

The animals / Les animaux

The exhibition at the WIPO is fast approaching. Scary! After recent suggestions from my brother (more like an insistent nudge!), I have started working on other ideas, trying out new things and new materials.

Now, some of my new work includes animals like amphibians and birds. It has been an exciting change for me if at first a bit difficult as I was not sure I was going to like the experience (this was a radical change in direction) because one often likes what one can control, no? It's been years since I’ve so much as drawn an animal!

Anyway, here is one example of my work. It is not finished yet as there’s still a lot of detail that needs to be added. Bear with me.

Mon exposition à l’OMPI n’est plus si loin! Mon frère a suggéré récemment qu’il faut peut-être essayer de peindre d’autre images et non seulement des visages/personnages. Donc, j’ai commencé à chercher des nouvelles influences. Au début c’était difficile car je n’étais pas sûre que j’allais aimer l’expérience (un véritable changement de direction) car on aime bien ce qu’on peut contrôler, non ?

Maintenant, j’ai commencé des tableaux avec des animaux, des amphibies et des oiseaux. Ça fait des années que je n’ai pas dessiné un animal.

En tout cas, voici un exemple d’un de mes œuvres. Ce n’est pas terminé car il y a beaucoup des détails qu’il faudra encore ajouter. Soyez patient.
