Description
Watercolor and china ink. I didnt find a good motif for using my new pastels with the real pastel paper today. I hope I can look something really exciting up to paint for tomorrow. Any suggestions? ;)-----FULL SIZE MORE CLEAR-----
Have a wonderful weekend.
It is still a bit cold outside. No really summer feeling in the air, but we had sun all day. :)
As usual, Thank you for your always welcome viewing, commenting and fav to my previous post. :-)

A wonderful and very colourful 'fiddle' Helle.
I like this.
I think this looks amazing Helle, it's one of the most beautiful watercolor works of art I have ever seen
WOW, here's a lot to see on it, Helle. A very impressive and expressive painting, I like it a lot. I have to think of poppies, caterpillars, an angel and more, and more ;-)
Brilliant work of this abstract painting Helle! I love the use of colors in this. :)
Wonderful colors and abxtract , Helle !!!Great work !
What a fun piece! I love the way the ink "bleeds" out and creates those fuzzy edges. There are so many marvellous things to see here! I love the fantasy figure on the right, the one that reminds me of a seahorse, but is made of grass stems. You have such a rich and creative mind, and it's a joy to see this! As for inspiration ... my friend, you are a member of one of the nicest art sites around. Look at some of our galleries and find something you like! You know you're always welcome to anything I've done, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Lots of people here would be honored to have you use one of their images as a starting point and a reference for one of your beautiful paintings. (I hesitate to volunteer someone else's work, but one of Andrea's perfume pieces would be glorious in pastels! That's what I'd pick if I were doing what you're doing, and I bet she'd say "yes" if you asked her!) :D
Indeed yes! Help yourself! I think that dog is a bit jealous of that seahorse. Love it!
dochtersions had say what I was thinking. cool image too. I like it
Fantastic work, Helle! :)
You can have one of my Blue Cranes if you want it Helle. Just Holler I can mail a nice portrait of a Blue Crane to you. Superb capture Helle. God Bless.
Wonderful and very creative work
Woow Helle:)))))))))) you created a fantastic underwater fairy tale:) a lot to see here and i like a lot of a lot of things:) the conversation between the girl and the sea horse is loving and everything is dancing around them! and the dog.....hha he play a great role in the scenary, but i agree with Andrea! And a cupido?? above?? Beautiful and great fun! I love it all, Helle! haha..i dont think you have much problems tomorrow, with inspiration))))))))))
Most interesting! It is always good to experiment, and try new paths!
Beautiful:)
Wow, this is a sheer delight! It has the feeling of visual 'leftovers' from a sumptuous visual feast. You have cartoonish figures. YOu have wonderful insect and small creature figures. You have that big red blob, which is like a poppy spilled its hues all over your painting. You have a little angel flying in it, and a chinese bamboo (this must've been a major meal!), beautiful vines coming down from the top and going up from the bottom, and beautiful summery yellows and greens. And a bunch of whites that look like you stenciled them in, or perhaps put wax on the paper so the wcolors would slide off those areas. Delightful. And that creature on the left-bottom: I'm not sure if it's a small elephant, a rabbit, a platypus, a mouse, or a dog with some very strange paws, lol. But it's just what you say: Just playing. And it's a sheer delight. I hope you do more of these, it's just a joy to behold!
