May is almost over. Since it has been pretty cold this year here in northern Germany, we are wistfully waiting for a warm June :)!! I worked on some new card motives the last couple of weeks and would like to share some new landscapes with you (see my last Card Post here). My childhoodContinue reading “Cheering Monet”

The Long-Weekend-Waited-For-It Post
Finding the right time, motivation and mood to immerse in – it’s not only a question of time. I think you guys know well what I’m talking about. The past weeks were pretty stressy, overcrowded with work and responsibility – concerning the business, but also concerning familiy issues. No relaxing atmosphere, no energy left toContinue reading “The Long-Weekend-Waited-For-It Post”
From old to new – Let the Groove out!
What you see is what you get? Not every time :)!! Especially furniture needs to be recovered or revalued from time to time – like our gem here. It’s an 200 years old massive wooden bench covered with hogskin. The grandparents of my father’s first wife (the mother of my four half sisters) were carpentersContinue reading “From old to new – Let the Groove out!”
One hand washes the other …
After three weeks of taking care of my husband’s health who struggled very bad with a pneumonia (no COVID-19 – incredible, but yes!!), I’m happy to be back with this little practice post :). Issue of this one is: drawing hands! Seems simple, but drawing hands can really be a challenge – all those wrinkles,Continue reading “One hand washes the other …”
From old to new – Lost & Found Part 2
The last two weeks were pretty intense – a lot of work was waiting for me after our two weeks of vacation. Time went so fast, I’m happy to find this moment to meditate and bring my thoughts down for a second. It’s fabulous how fast winter has changed with spring this year – aContinue reading “From old to new – Lost & Found Part 2”
10-Pic-Challenge going wild
Last week, I ordered some new material for my different drawing projects – e.g. new pencils from type 7B up to 14B (really exciting! I didn’t ever use a stronger B type than 8B before, thought that’s the ultimate before it comes to charcoal :D!!) and a natural paper sketch book from SMLT Art. Then,Continue reading “10-Pic-Challenge going wild”
February/March Card Work
The last two weekends a couple of friends and I spent time again on our retirement-home project. There are three more homes waiting to be served with handmade presents and cards – a great achievement in Corona times. This makes us really glad!! Here a little selection of the 18 cards I made, let’s haveContinue reading “February/March Card Work”
The Lady With The Hat feat. Lucas Cranach
Winter 2006 – 2007. It was my last semester at the art-college-prep class before school leaving examination. Our teacher Udo Steinmann told us that an exposition has been organized by the Freie Kunstschule Bremen (unfortunately, the school has been closed in 2017, so I can’t share a good link with you 😦 – the closingContinue reading “The Lady With The Hat feat. Lucas Cranach”
Catch The Splash!
Last Sunday – I have to iterate, I’m not a fan of using video conferences or WHATSAPP etc., to get in drawing interaction with others (see my DRAW’N TALK post to know why I write that) – my friend Daniel invited me again to join his Zoom-drawing-group, and I said “YES OK!” again (finally –Continue reading “Catch The Splash!”
Body Shot II
Do you know those days you come home, totally stressed from work and think: First, I need a glass of wine, then my jogging pants and then some good old “Friends” or another non-demanding mainstream TV series to calm down, to find myself back in the middle again?? Thursday 11th of February 2021 was suchContinue reading “Body Shot II”
