Let your art guide you - weekly challenge

Still working on the peonies. I've posted this painting the other day, but this time painted the flowers.


No finished artworks, just glimpses of my messy studio.
I've been playing with shades of blue, letting the colour run and drip while contemplating about water and how precious it is. Can't get that oil spill out of my save the live of the ocean - but what to do?




Meanwhile my friend Andrea saved a little baby titmouse her son found on the street, naked and almost dead. With a lot of love, warmth and many insects they managed to bring it to live, and it grows from day to day, growing feathers and flapping it's tiny wings. Reminds me of a quote i read the other day by mother Theresa:
"We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love"

I hope you've had some creative adventures as well and can't wait to visit you soon!

Let your art guide you - weekly challenge

I'm a day late with this post, but somehow, yesterday was over too quickly for me. It was a holiday here in germany, and we slept in, had a long family breakfast, followed by some work for the magazine and then coffee and cake with a dear friend who just moved.

I was in a dreamy mood, not feeling very active, and so i played a bit, again with an unfinished painting and some collage pieces. I have so much fun doing this at the moment - it gives me new ideas - maybe to combine naturalisticly painted parts with a free style. I love the phase, were a painting has a lot of opportunities - it could be this, it could be that ... and playing is vital to art!
