A very long time ago, almost wo decades, I've painted big abstrakt
acrylic pictures on wood.
But than happened a lot of bad things in my life
and most of these paintings are lost or destroyed... and I'm unleared to paint.
Lost my personal style. Never more tried...never could.
I never was a friend of watercolors or colorpencils, seems me to pale.
I was always a woman of big formats and intensebright colors.
A very long time ago.
My life is no more the same and the biggest problem is just to have a few
free hours in one piece, without breaking and disruption.
I cannot begin a big picture, when I know, that I must go away after one hour...
So I made only paper collages in last years.
That I can break, whenever it must be and to begin it again is easy.
Never tried to draw on book sheets before - I grew up with a high regard
for books and there is some overcoming for me to do what is popular today.
Finally I found an old destroyed book with loose leaves and I've just done it.
Draw at them.
But which colors should I use?
Thried this and that, but it wasn't the right... and than I found my nailpolish.
Have such a lot of nailpolish, the most I got for free in a shop,
what was open the last day - the colors were so beautiful and I took a lot.
But never used: the colors don't fit with my skin tone or my clothing...
and I'm so much working with my hands,
that I cannot save the polish more than one day. Or only a few hours...
Well, let's try to paint with them!
First try with nailpolish, but it isn't really good. I don't like it.
Well, let me use it only partial.
Now I bought watercolors and the second try is a little better.
The white wings aren't good, they are to white!
At first I took white watercolor, but it wasn't really white and I tried white acrylic paint.
Must make that still better, but I think, that could be a way.
Let me try again.
What you don't see in the photo: some colors are mat and others are shiny.
That's the special effect ;-)
