ZETTIOLOGY STILL GOING STRONG

Here is the third in the Zetti Fairy series, for my forthcoming exhibition. I think this will be the last of the 'pretty' zetti's that i shall be doing. Hopefully they will just get weirder and weirder as i go along.

This is just a scan of the canvas, so the top part is missing lol. Couldn't wait for daylight to take a photo.
One thing i am finding difficult is to stray away from the pretty, i suppose it's because I'm frightened of bad criticism from the exhibition. I feel as though I am not doing the paintings for myself, but once again playing 'safe'. I have got to get away from this attitude, always trying to please, and my lack of confidence. I suppose it's a bit late in the day to change now though.

The Mona Lisa is totally transformed, but you will have to wait til tomorrow, when hopefully the sun will be shining so i shall be able to take a photo.
I much prefer it now it's been Zettie'd. Before it was just a bad fake that i did of Mona Lisa, now it has become my own. This one i DID enjoy doing, even though it was frustrating. It took longer to alter, than it did to do a painting for some bizarre reason.

Zettiology Painting & Dotee

Been both busy and down with the flu this week. As soon as my husband recovered, I went down with it, but kept going, even when i completely lost my voice. (Husband was escatic over that one LOL).

Finished a dotee which is going to a very special lady. I just hope she likes it. I've called her English Rose, as I'm a UK artist.
I used a porcelain rose bead, and metal rose beads along the bottom of the doll. The crotchet lace, i dyed with acrylic paint.

Next on the 'finished' list is one of the paintings which im putting forward to the exhibition i'll be doing in April. Just got a feeling the owner of the gallery isn't going to like these. If he doesn't like them, then i don't think i'll bother doing the exhibition, cos i really don't want to be painting stuff i don't like. we'll see. It won't be the end of the world. I could always put it up for a swap lol.
It's an acrylic painting on a canvas 12" x 12", which is a bit small for me, but wanted to try out concept.
