Free stuff

multi media abstract foamed ovoids

I will brazenly prostitute myself for the chance of being rewarded with free stuff. I am delighted if a free cloth bag contains paper and pens. And boy do I hoard them.

Around a decade ago in Sydney, the local office supply company, Office Works were giving customers a bag weighed down with pencils, pens, pencil case, and bookmarks.

The pink, green, and purple ink pens used in today’s mixed media abstract picture are from that boon. I used the pens to outline the ovoids, washed over with watercolour and drew the shapes again on top.

The stamped circles were outlined in Lipton’s decaffeinated tea with paint added while wet.

  1. Delightful! The painting is appealing to me as a symbol of our connectedness across our differences. Like the softness of the colors particularly. And I too love the freebees! You seem to be thriving which makes me happy.
