in the studio

well...

 the studio migrated outside, under the fig tree.

new beginnings,

backgrounds making

and the next step:

tree obsession in progress

i'm working slower than usual and i'm enjoying this new experience.

Give it a try

Seeds

this plant will never cease to amaze me! 

from pockets to bright hairy flowers 

to this: 

suddenly the pod bursts & out come these fairy like seeds

blowing away like delicate feathers

magic.

Vintage find, suite

a few other treasures i brought back... 

a mini Hundertwasser calendar,

some stunning Paul Klee books

and some incredible Alberto Giacometti inspiration

what a treat! 

Vintage find...

while in Switzerland i spent some time with 

my grand-mother.

together we raided her treasure filled house for 

art inspiration... 

and we found loads! 

of course i couln't take it all

and i was restricted by weight... 

but i came home with some real treasures! 

one of them being my uncle's 

Caran d'Ache Neocolor box...

probably from the 70's.

precious! 

 

more tomorrow.

Around here

around the house.

Inspiration

Red it is

so i went back and forth 

painting my july giraffe many times. 

and that's it... red it is. 

i'm not totally in love with the final outcome 

but 

i'm done! 

Tree making

here is a peek at one of the exercise 

 in last week's Summer Camp 

with Diane Culhane

we went from a collage

to a painting

with more details

and the same in different colours

i absolutely loved it and i'm thrilled with my trees!

so much so that it might have turned into a little 

obsession...

3 more on the go!
