There hasn’t been much art this week, I’ve been too exhausted. Little art, but lots of work instead. However this hasn’t stopped it from being an eventful week.
This week…
My Whimsical Waterfall painting was selected by poet Ani Peters to be featured on the front cover of her latest collection of poetry.
This painting is part of a developing series I’ve titled ‘Fantastical Worlds’ and includes several other works that incorporate the elements of a single woman and trees. They are aimed to be refreshing, calm and thought inspiring. Here are some of the previous works in the series.
I’m actually quite excited about this series and plan to do more. Some of the above are available as prints – contact me for details. Ani Peters’ book is available for sale on Amazon.
On the Jewellery front I have made a few sales this week and last, and am quite excited about it.
The above and a couple others have sold and I’m about to create more. If you are interested in my jewellery, you can find some on my Etsy shop, or you can contact me directly with any requests. I can certainly make a special piece just for you.
On the new art front, I am still focused on exploring stamps, but didn’t have a great deal of time to play. I did create one new stamp, a daisy, which I am quite happy with.
And from that I made one greeting card with plans for more.
On another front, I have promised myself that I would start including all the aspects of my art on this blog, so I really must mention two other happenings this week.
After months of preparation, the ALS Public Libraries SA Conference 2017 was held on Monday and Tuesday this week – and I have been responsible for the logo, the website, the flyers, conference program, a banner and several posters for this event. I’ve heard good reviews and as far as I know it went well (I didn’t attend). So a long standing job is now complete 😀
So here be Liz Powley the graphic designer instead of Liz Powley the paint flinger 😀 I do work as a freelance graphic and web designer, and have done for some time. I just figured it was about time I shared some of my work since I do so much of it (and it keeps me both in paints and away from my paints – it’s like some space-time conspiracy theory 😀 ).
And now I have started work on another client’s website. After which I’m going to stick a fork in my website and turn it over a couple of times to rework it to make it work better for me.
Since it is now 1am and technically Friday and this post contains some paint…a little at least…I will be sharing it with Paint Party Friday. Don’t forget to drop over there and check out the wonderful array of artists on show.
So, Art Always! And I’m off to bed.
Best wishes,
Liz

I just love the waterfall piece! What a gorgeous book cover that’s going to make and it seems perfect for poetry. How pretty!
Thanks, Sal. Painting the waterfall piece was very meditative. And relaxing as it didn’t need to be realistic.

Whether graphic designer or paint flinger, you are just bubbling over with talent! I love the peaceful Whimsical Worlds paintings and am so impressed with your lovely daisy stamp.
Thanks so much, Faye 😀 Yes, I really enjoyed the daisy stamp and am thinking of making a larger one. It is such a simple yet effective motif.

Congratulations on so many levels! It is nice when ones talent can provide income and notoriety.
Income! Yes, one of my goals 😀 And as long as it is positive notoriety, I’m not minding that either 😀

Those fantastical worlds paintings are gorgeous, and indeed very peaceful. It doesn’t surprise me one bit that one was elected for the cover of the poetry book. I love the card you made from your daisy stamp too. Great work all over…
Thanks so much, Denthe 😀 I hope to create some more of those Fantastical World paintings so there should be a few more here at some point. And the daisy stamp, I’m thinking of making a bigger one as it is such an effective motif.
Thank you for dropping by and taking the time to comment.

Wow – the waterfall painting is amazing! I wish I could paint like that. Thank you for stopping by my blog!
Thankyou ? Each of us has our talents ? I’m pretty sure you can do something I can’t ? And your painting is great, too, anyway ?
Thanks for dropping by ?

Congratulations on having your waterfall painting picked for the front cover of a book of poems. I love your art.
Thank you so much, June, for your kind comments. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. The lurgy hit me this week and knocked my feet from under me, but I’m slowly getting back into the groove.
Thank you so much from dropping by.

Fabulous artwork. I like the whole idea of fantastical worlds. Your earrings are super. I’m sure my wife would love a pair.
Hi, John.
Thanks so much for dropping by and for your kind comments – I have been to your site a few dates back, just haven’t had the chance to comment. Will be dropping by to comment on your wonderful zentangles sometime today.
Happy PPF!
