Something borrowed
(A pair of paintings by fellow artist Susan Brown)


Something blue
(A pair of paintings on my studio wall - i can't part with them)


And something more blue
(Also by artist Susan Brown) 

... tagged by my dear blogfriend Anita from "Castles, Crowns And Cottages" with a special task to compose a post with  

something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

That sounds nice - like a poem, and since this is an art-blog, i decided to show you some paintings of mine and some of a fellow artist i like - enjoy looking!

And i'm passing the task on to

Saskia from Join my joy
Gwynnie from Gwynnie B. Designs
Chrissy from cul*ti*vate
Andrea from Andrea creates

Have fun with this project!

  1. Oh Martina.....I love all of them (and thanks for introducing Susan). But, that first painting is my favorite. Is that somewhere hanging in your studio as well? Lovely. Just lovely. How talented.

  5. Oh dearest one! I am finally here at my hour of returning home from work to find such a lovely and magical post. Your art is superb, and your studio wall is magnificent. I can see why you don't want to part with these fab paintings. The other artists you feature are wonderful as well, making this page a happy spot with such vibrant colors. I hope that your heart is happy today and that the stress levels have dissipated. I am tired, eating my dinner and staying put tonight, getting ready for another wild day at school!

    Relax and get a good night's sleep...I wish I could say GOOD NIGHT IN GERMAN!!! Bonne nuit, Anita

  8. Dearest Martina! Oh how I especially love that first painting! Thank YOU for coming to see ME! Talk about juggling more than 2 things at work....the word, "MULTITASKING" has made it into our vocabulary, but I don't think our brains really can handle WELL doing more than one thing at once and do it WELL! I try it all the time, but I just end up frustrated! SO.....I wish you a peaceful and fulfilling day today, taking one bit at a time, indeed. You are always so generous to take time out of your day to come to visit me, and that is so appreciated dearest. Bises, Anita

  13. GUTEN MORGAN my dear friend! ( I am learning greetings in several languages!) Oh how I love your sweet comments my dear friend; my days are also filled with much stress and I have been so energetic up until last year. I had a very difficult class of kids and this year I have double the amount of children with only a few tough kids. I could not imagine doing this model of teaching with the children that I had last year, but I am wondering how long any of us can last doing this ridiculous style of teaching. And on top of that, I am having back and leg pains that I am guessing are due to pinched nerves in my back, but all the same, it affects the way I feel throughout the day, which really is unusual for me! I just long to come home at night to eat a lovely meal with Ruben and blog, play my harp or do something creative. I also wish you a better day today, a wonderful weekend, and great week ahead. Our holidays are coming up and I am so excited to see how you and all the other incredible woman out there are going to celebrate. Our building has been moving along very well, but we are simply waiting for the wood trusses to come in so framing can begin! Our weather is still good, but I understand these men work through the winter. The toughest job, the digging and laying of the foundation is OVER, so if the ground freezes, the worst is over.

    Much love to you this fine day! Anita

  14. Guten Abend liebe Martina! Oh how I love learning new phrases in languages!!! Oh dearest, stress is wanting to take over, isn't it? I hope your husband is going to be o.k.....do you know that my chest was hurting yesterday, but I get that when I get stressed. I cannot wait for the weekend, but I am home now, I am relaxed and laughing and playing and creating is what I love and do best!!!! I wish you a great Friday and thank you for your companionship and friendship; it means a lot to me dearest!

    Anita
