Two young children sit close to their grandfather and listen.
“Grandfather, tell us again.”
Painting details: A grandfather sits close with one child on the left and one on the right. His hair is snow white, his skin solid black as is the skin of the two children. His robe is long and kingly. Each figure is featureless but not faceless. There’s a strong cobalt blue background with green, salmon and cream accents. This is a touching family moment between a grandfather and his grandchildren while sitting a top a hill in the open air.

Waiting for My Father is an inspired piece based on a recent experience with a young lady whose father treats her like a princess.
I was going for a soft, gentle moment, a transfiguration of mind and body. I wanted swirls of light and soft colors to grow into stronger ones that form her and give her wholeness.
This is why her body isn’t in a solid state until you get to her torso. She’s morphing and growing as she waits for her Father patiently.
Waiting for My Father is along the same lines as the painting called Sanctuary. Both are available on Redbubble in various print formats. Please see my sidebar for the Redbubble link.

Title: Waiting for My Father
Art by: F. Magdalene Austin
Pencil, ink and marker on paper scratching back and forth in a cacophony of sound and color finally comes to rest to be called Hummingbird Homecoming.
The sound alone was a beautiful thing. Sometimes when I paint the end results may not be anything like my usual work and it may not be a great piece of art but the experience is simply priceless. The best way to describe this piece is mixed media with scribble madness. I cut lose on this painting and it felt WONDERFUL.
I started out with a drawing I did digitally then I printed it on textured paper and added colored pencil, ink and marker. After that I put it back on the computer and enhanced colors here and there. I put a soft filter over it to give the painting a more fluid look and clicked save.
I’m not certain if I’m done with the paper version. I would like to see it brighter. I may leave well enough alone and simply reprint the black and white piece and color it brighter. That’s the good thing about digital art, you get lots and lots of do overs.
I have one painting I’m working on in oils. I do a little work on the painting and when I get an idea I think might work well for the piece before I make a drastic move I photograph the painting then put it on the PC. I do a digital example of my idea and plan my next move from there. In this way I have a digital scratchpad that allows me to explore without harming the original piece. Gotta love modern technology and art.
