Do You Like My New Dress by Beatrice Ajayi 04/06/13
This is one of the pieces I created on paper 53 app on my iPad today. It’s me researching a new approach. This is going to be a continuous thing it seems, at some point I will figure what style, colouring, size,tools,pen or paint etc suits me best. I love to paint with actual paint but I am still trying to understand how to get it to look the way I have it in my head. So until then. More experiments. Nite nite. B
Puffin and I go for a swim, digital art by Beatrice Ajayi
This a quick post, I have a cough that the whole family currently have and I really should be asleep. I am in bed typing this, so I am mostly there. This piece I did a couple of hours ago. It’s called-‘Puffin and I Go For a Swim’it is available as an A5 print from my etsy shop. If you need an A4 size that is also doable. Just contact me at my contact tab above or convo me on etsy. Nite nite. B
The Crowned Owl
This piece is part of my continuous experimentation with colour. Green with yellow accents infused within.
I’d say I am always looking for unusual friendships for my characters. They tend to be lonely individuals who don’t seem to have close friends they can talk to. Therefore they have these quaint or dangerous animals sometimes who they feel free to share their fears and ideas with.
This particular friend has a crown so is of royal standing. I don’t see him just listening but he will have a lot t o say too.
The crowned owl is a prince amongst birds,
Watch him fly and believe all that you have heard,
proud but loyal and a straight talker,
He hates a quarrel,
He Loves completely and rules without timidity…
Verse by yours truly…Beatrice Ajayi
The Story of ‘The Tear Jar’ by Beatrice Ajayi
The tear jar piece symbolises the sorrows of life and being real. It speaks of Intense emotions, sadness, loss, promise, hope; I have created a handful of artwork with crying individuals. Sometimes the reasons are obvious, for example if they are in a situation of peril. Occasionally like ‘The Tear Jar’ piece it isn’t so obvious.
If I take it to a personal level I don’t always cry in public. Most of the time in my adult life. I take my tears elsewhere, and it would be a lovely idea that the most precious tear filled moments could be remembered with a tear jar. If I expand on it a little more I don’t know if they already exist in some cultures. I do remember a depiction in a film about the roman emperor Nero saving the tear he cried for a close friend in a little vile.
Anyways this art piece is specifically about storing tears, obviously precious on some level. Do they ever dry out? Do they have a lovely aroma or are off putting to the nasal passage.
Either way my little character looks very determined to keep on saving them. That is not a small jar she is holding.
I still have to tweak some areas before its finished finally. I will try and tell the back story for another piece tomorrow.
The Tear Jar – by Beatrice Ajayi
These are some work in progress. More inking then painting begins. These have already got one layer of gesso and an ink/acrylic mix. So that the paint won’t tear the thin paper I have adhered to the cardboard.
The coloured pieces are examples of some I have already started painting, with layers of coloured gesso laced through out. The colour piece on the left is called ‘The Tear Jar’
Fox and Hare plus all things fair – by Beatrice Ajayi
This picture is of some of the pieces I worked on today. I also attempted cleaning up my studio. My brother brought me some extra storage unit space. I am enjoying having a space of my own in the house. Though I am still travelling around with my pens n art work.
Hope you had a lovely day today. Nite nite

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
