The iphone is probably not the best in terms of colours but this is a way to show you how to start your own creation and to set your mind free of any restriction.
We have some much inspiration around us and for me the sky is MY inspiration. There is the colours, the design created by the clouds, the greys and so much more.
For this artwork, I have used acrylic and oils.

Drying on the wall at home.. waiting for a new owner |
This is Madoka Vibe 2012, the canvas is 24x24" and still drying.
The next step will be adding some varnish when the canvas will be completely dry.
Have a great week.
