Friday Pretties: Birthday-cowboy

Saddle up and ride your pony!

If someone in our family has birthday, i do a special painting as a decoration. It's a tradition we started, when the kids were really small. We had all kinds of animals, comic-creatures and super-heroes already. Now big boy is riding out on his own trips, and, since mama has the cowboy-feeling on her mind i dedicated this theme to him this year. I'm dreaming of painting a big canvas with horses and all, maybe soon! Hope your weekend will be filled with sunshine, love and fun. See you soon lovelies!

There never was a horse that couldn't be rode;

Never was a cowboy who couldn't be throwed.

Let your art guide you - weekly challenge

Another week in the challenge and another birthday picture - this time for Robin, our talented photographer who just turned 20! I was playing with collage and arylic colour to create a stunning image that combined elements of photography and painting.
Sadly, he hasn't had time yet to celebrate properly, for he had to run for the train this morning, to apply at art-school in Essen, a far away town. But hopefully tonight, there will be champagne and something nice to eat.


How's your week been so far? Here, it's raining shoestrings and mice - not typicall at all for the lovely month of may. To enjoy sunshine we have to travel blogland or our own creativity. The good thing is - everything's getting greener and greener and everything grows - not just grass, but also the flowers of imagination!



Now, that's him - with an awesome self-portrait. Check out his work at Flickr
One of these days i'll post some of my favourite pix.
