New work - unconscious paintings.

As at the moment i have a bit of a struggle with the last of the 5 skulls, i have decided to switch my mind to something else in order to relax a little. This way, i think, that the solution will come easier.
So, at the moment i am doing some drawing and i have also completed a new series of unconscious paintings, which i have started earlier on this year.

 These 3 are made using the same method as the last one. I wipe my paintbrushes unconsciously on the apron, the, i cut up the apron and stretch the fabric onto a stitching frame. i think it works - the are interesting abstract works.

New work (continued)

 This is the third skull from the series made using magazine cut outs with women s heads and although i like it, it still looks quite scary, even though the colours add it a bit of a happy mood.

New work (continued)


 This is the second skull - the least successful so far as it still looks a bit scary although using "beautiful" images of different materials from fashion magazines.

And this one so far is the most successful one because of the live flowers which turn the meaning of a skull to life and makes the skull itself take a second part - its just the pot, the centre here are flowers. This skull is the least interesting in its appearance i think, which was done on purpose to make the plant stand out more.
