If you're going through hell, keep walking!
Winston Churchill
Schöne Woche ihr Lieben - natürlich hoffe ich sehr, dass Eure Woche nicht im entferntesten an die Hölle erinnert ;) Doch da diese Englische Bulldogge hier mich beim Zeichnen so sehr an Winston erinnert hat, konnte ich nicht widerstehen, eines seiner berühmten Zitate hinzuzufügen.
Im Hintergrund seht ihr ein Toile Muster mit kleinen Garten Szenen an dem ich gearbeitet habe. Ich hoffe, es einmal als Druck auf Stoff haben zu können - wie auch das Rosenmuster auf dem Teppich.
Viele der Hundemotive gibt es jetzt als Poster und Art-Prints in der Poster Lounge wo sie unter dem Pseudonym Martine Vuitton Serape angeboten werden.
Happy midweek flowers! I hope your week is nothing like hell of course, but i simply adore Winston Churchill quotes. As you might have seen already, i've been quite into drawing dogs for a while now. This English Bulldog reminds me of Winston somehow, so i couldn't resist adding some of his words here too.
In the background you see a Toile pattern with little french country scenes i've been working on recently. It's a project i've been thinking about for a while and i hope to have it printed on fabric one day - as the golden rose pattern on the carpet.
Many of the dogs are now available as posters and art prints, you can order them here-
this is great! i really like the toile background...will you be using spoonflower?
ReplyDeletehave a super day :)
Love that great done !!...enjoy the week love Ria...x !
ReplyDeleteI LOVE WINSTON. His quotes are so witty and wise, and that one is one of my favorite. One must ENDURE the hardship and get through it. Oh my friend, this bulldog is fantastic. This really is getting fun to watch the evolution of your work, and that toile pattern is the perfect backdrop for your new designs.
ReplyDeleteBRAVO! XOXOX Anita
Good one Martina ,here's it is hell as mercury is shooting up. Peak of summer here:(
ReplyDeletea good quote also!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, I love this quote as well. I think it's perfect with the bulldog as they are quite tough dogs and the hint of softness with the wallpaper pattern is perfect!! Happy Wedneday Martina, I hope you are doing well xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute friendly canine, I love the background scenes too and I hope you get to paint them on fabric someday soon, dear Martina! Wish you a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteDearest Martina! Enjoy your visit with your friend! I hope you will enjoy a wonderful three days, and thank you so much for your "rose" - the thought of it is so tender mon amie....
