Description
Made the background yesterday with Ecoline Watercolors. Was just playing. Today I added an old funny portrait, I made in 2006 with watercolor pencils and used blendmode. I like the result :D
Have a great new week. We had sun all day but it was cool outside, as it should be at this time of the year. 5C right now. BRR!
Thanks for your visit :)

I like the result too. This reminds me of how wonderful paperback book art was before art directors just started photoshopping everything and relying on stock photos. I've gone into bookstores and seen totally different paperback books - but with the same exact stock art on the covers!
I digress. This would be a great cover for a psychologically-oriented novel.
nice work my friend
Love how you have created this it looks so cool. It is getting cold with you now. Thank goodness our temps are starting to go up now, about 16C today. :)
wonderful artwork
oh man, you're playing again, and messing with stuff, and going with the 'muse' (wherever it takes you)---and man, do I like this! I remember the portrait---I saw it on your site, maybe? Or one of your emails? (Maybe it's on RR?) It's actually a pretty vexed face---the guy doesn't look too happy---but you stuck him in this heavy dripping and plopping painting---which I love---where you let the paint drip down the paper and mix and mesh (and looks like you ran a knife or brush across it and got these "cut" looks). ANd when you combine that with this somewhat disturbed face, you got yourself a big wild, popping image. I love this! It's actually pretty serious---it's got a heavy knock-us-in-the-face feeling; but it's also playful---don't know how you managed both! I know how much you want to do serious and large pieces; but you gotta know that, in the times you can't, you jump in and do amazing stuff regardless. For all the seriousness of this image, your sense of play and vividness lifts it into a wild performance. Bravo!
This marvellous, Helle ! Another inspiration for me!
I admit I like the landscape better ... but this is really nice as well.
nice work
very wonderful work this is
I love it when you 'play' Helle! You get such wonderful results - like this. Very colorful and fun, my friend!
Love when older assorted works come together to create something new, very nice!! :)
your "colorplay" works great with the portrait!
The paint and colors add meaning and depth to the portrait, and the portrait gives the paint something to do. It's a marvelous blend of two very different pieces, and I love the result! It reminds me of a piece of art I have in my living room, only I like the one I have best of all. :)
