Painting weekend

Most of last weekend I was working on a painting for my business partner's daughter Miren.  It's great to sink myself into such a lot of indulgent creative fun.  Guess I spend too much time over-thinking paintings normally but this project is running on pure visual, decorative techniques which is a pleasure.

I've bought a box of goodies like glitter glue and sparkly gems (ideal for my 13 yer old client) and I'm creating the work of four square canvases so she can re-configure them in different ways in her room.

As the work has progressed, it has almost taken on a mandala feel with elements of Klimt-like surface decoration.  Hmmm, interesting. 

Anyway, here are some work in progress images.
