Caroline Mizen Artworks

And, following my earlier post from today, I have also been painting a variety of animals while experimenting with colour.  Some of these paintings are from photographs I have taken, others are inspired by pictures I’ve seen along the way that were unattributed to their original artists.

And, I’ve started working on animals.  These are my brother’s pets, painted in January.  Each cat has a very different personality.  I’ve gone for personality rather than strict likeness.

It’s been a while since I uploaded pictures.  These are a series of watercolour winter scenes, trying to work on how to paint and capture “white”.

It’s been a while since I posted any art, but I’ve been busy.  Here’s a selection of landscapes in various medium.

Having realised I have lived in 31 houses, I thought I’d do a lockdown project to draw all of them.  The project is done as far as I can.  When lockdown is finished I will need to go and take some up to date photographs of some of the properties, as even Google maps doesn’t give a clear picture of them.  I thought I’d post a selection.

Grey day, black news, just needed to splash some colour.

Another set of experimentation with mixed media, watercolour, acrylic, and gilding.

I’ve had a go using pan pastels.  Completely new media for me.  So here’s my attempts at a beautiful Stockholm sunset that I had the pleasure of sitting and watching, and a sunrise. 

I have done a project of drawing all of the homes I have previously lived in.  Given there are 31 of them, it’s a daunting task!  But here are a few.

I have been painting and drawing for a while just for my own benefit.  I will start uploading again shortly.  This is my watercolour version of an original painting by Liz Chaderton that was featured in the SAA Magazine.

Very happy to have come third in a local photographic competition “inspired by a movie”, with my photograph - “Wilson does Christmas 2020″.

Well, just the most glorious colours out and about this morning !

Pen drawing of a building in Provence, France.

A watercolour painted by me today, that was inspired by a painting at Helen’s house.  Check out Steven Brown, love his work !

Bags of Capri - lovely holiday last autumn.

I’m in a bit of a red phase !

Well May has seen a need for colour, so I’ve sploshed the paint a bit with a pizzeria display from Amalfi, my version of a portrait of Rankin for Sky Arts Portrait of the Week competition, and some experimentation with colour which I think I will over-paint or add a pen drawing of something once I get some inspiration.  I think I can see 2 people swimming, or a colourful bird developing in there !
