It is always nice to needle felt flowers. I can invent different ones, maybe they are not

real but they look beautiful.

Collages: paper, magazines, gouache, watercolors, glue…all kind of things that passes in front of me goes in.

It is a wonderful way to let go….

Painting in negative space by Gun-Marie Nalsen 2024

Using acrylics, which is not my favorite medium, I struggled with this negative space painting. One has to think “backwards”, which is not so easy for me. I think that it came out quite good. That exercise I did with my daughter Anne-Marie. It was fun! I also did the two ones that are under, but with watercolors, it is a bit different because the colors are milder.

This trip took 12 hours from L.A. to S.F. It was a beautiful day and I saw the seashore almost all the

way, wonderful experience! After I went to Pleasanton, after to a racing park , where we met a musician

who was writing music, very interesting. Some paintings from the S.F. Golden Gate, which is so big

and beautiful.

Different type of pieces in felting, it is a very rewarding technique. It is like painting with watercolors, as you do it by layers. Very recommended hobby!
