A duo or trio of illustrations

Posted on by Kylie Fowler
These two mixed media illustrations were created along side each other, along with another which so far I have not worked on. For these I worked on Matt Board which I really enjoyed using and will certainly use again as my substrate.
‘Angel Above’ 

‘The Genius in Me’
I will finished the 3rd one, but until then here is all three in the early stages.
Yes these two are already in store.  😉
Hugs & Smiles,

While There’s Life, There’s Hope

Posted on by Kylie Fowler
This painting was inspired by two fellow artists, Cathy Bueti and Dee Champion. Both of whom are beautiful, inspiring, strong women who also happen to be cancer survivors.
Cathy is also the author of ‘Breastless in the City‘, which I read from cover to cover, in record time I must say. It was one of those books that once you begin reading you can’t put down. Definitely worth reading. To read more about Cathy’s book you can visit her here where you will also find a link to her blog.
I first met Dee on Tamara Laporte’s art website, Willowing.ning. This led me to her blog where I read about her survival story.
These two amazing women, strangers from across the globe, were the inspiration for this mixed media art piece. Thank you Cathy and Dee.
‘While There’s Life, There’s Hope’

This is now in my Etsy shop.

I’m back with NEW Artwork.

Posted on by Kylie Fowler
How great it is to be back. My hubby, 3 children and I were away camping for 10 weeks. It was great being able to spend such fun and memorable times with my family but I’m so glad to be back in my own bed and back into painting.
Here are a few things I’ve finished of this week. These original mixed media paintings are all available in my Etsy store. I’ve been playing around with new styles and different techniques.
‘Blessings’
‘Prayers in the Garden’
‘Milton’
‘Angel Blessings’

Now that I’m home I need to catch up on creating some artwork for the course ‘Life Book’ that I’m enrolled in both as a student and teacher. As a student I have so many classes to catch up on and as a teacher I still have another lesson to prepare which goes up in August. I also need to catch up with the students who have completed artwork from my class/techniques to give them feedback/comments.
 
As you may know, I am also enrolled in ‘Angles in my Studio’ both as a student and teacher. I need to catch up on class work and finish recording my lesson that goes up this month.
There has been so much wonderful artwork produced from these courses that I will dedicate a separate post for each course showing you the beautiful pieces that have been created.
Until then,
Hugs all round.
Kyles =D
P.S I would love to hear what you think of the different styles I’ve been playing around with. I do love hearing from you. xo
