Musings and current work – Beatrice Ajayi

I am really working hard to get my technique and inspirations fine tuned. I get easily distracted as to how to approach a Piece of work. I have an idea I want to do then I put a mark on the page that inspires me for something else. I am constantly asking myself why I draw or paint what I Do.

i love my abstract work and know I will never let it go, I love my figurative work also. So I am continuously trying to marry the two.

In my figurative work I want to put so much detail, and hadn’t found a way of doing it that I Enjoyed until a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have been churning, yes! Churning out the work. But I know I still have some way to go in that department.

I am really excited about this new approach I am taking to my work. I love the process and the product. I wanted to create pieces that felt like objects, to be pretty and special. I am using some of my own recycled occasions cards I received from people. I asked friends to give me old Christmas cards or non personal cards to me. What you see below are some of the results of almost finished pieces of art. I will list them on my etsy site soon as prints.

Have an amazing day tomorrow. B

Hi everyone, hope you had a great weekend, I know I did, and am ready to continue the week on the same train. I blogged last week about my new project week by week art. So here is the first Pic of the week. This work is entitled ‘The Empress and herDaughters’ it’s a  piece I drew along time ago on watercolour paper. It was black and white, but for the purpose of my week by week art, I coloured the background as a start towards finishing the piece by the end of this week.

i still doubt myself far too much when it comes to painting in colour especially my figurative work. Hope to have a progress pic tomorrow. At the end of the week I will upload it to my shop on etsy. See you soon.

New project-week by week Art

Hi everyone, it’s not been too long since my last post I hope. I really struggled with my blogs for a while. I wouldn’t blog if I thought I had nothing to say. But that hasn’t been correct on my part. I work on my art everyday, so how can there be nothing to say. In between changing diapers and feeding my little ones I am always sketching or updating my Etsy and Redbubble shops. My etsy shop provides signed art work straight from me, Prints and originals.

Anyways I digress, I decided my new project shall be creating one artwork each week specifically for my blog. Each day I will put my progress of the said art on my blog. At the end of the 5th day the original will be for sale on my etsy shop.

I will title them WeekArt1-month2013 or something like that, I may use its actual name too.

I will start that Monday 22 April 2013 so look out for that.

Here are some snap shots of stuff I have been working on.

Abstract art Journaling paintings by Beatrice Ajayi

Hi everyone, hope you had a great week. I have been working on a number of ideas recently and can’t wait to share them, the first idea is my venturing into ACEO’s with my abstract art and returning to abstract artwork for a while.

I have been trying to focus my work to a more personal level, I intend to spend even longer assessing and re-assessing each piece. I want them to be like jewels. Full of ‘yummy colours’ and also leaving me more open and vulnerable in the pieces.

Enjoy The Day - Beatrice Ajayi
