Art & Coffee

Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.

Henri Matisse 

3 things that always brighten me up, when i have a little down phase during the day:

Bright colors - especially playing with them - like music

Fresh coffee - not much of it, but an espresso can really work magic sometimes ... and it smells so good, too!

Deep breathing - i like to stretch  with my arms up, deeply filling my lungs - yes! Every 20 minutes is good, especially during computer work.

Have a bright and lovely start to your week flowers - and  - let's dance!

Oh happy plates - food styling project

Tomatoe goes art

I had some fun in my studio lately, playing with my camera and gorgeous red tomatoes - one of my fave summer food.  With these pix, i'm participating in the "Oh hapy plates" food styling project by lovely Ald, from Al dente gourmet, to learn more about styling food and making it look even better in your photos. 

You see, i'm quite a foodie and love to combine my painting skills wiih my love for yummy treats. This also comes in handy when it comes to create recipe pages for my magazine, KidsLife.  I think, these cherry tomatoes doa great job in juicing up my art books, what do you think?

Have a super cool and easy weekend  lovelies!
