Drawing challenge/ I

how it went ;  i first painted a portrait of myself, spontaniously,

let my brush glide over the paper without much thinking.

it was my intention whether i would like the result or not,

 showing you this result because there would me a lot 

of me in the image doing it this way.

then i asked my partner to take a photograph of me in

a simular pose (showing him the painting he asked me

if it was my intention to take off my clothes for the photo ;)

the ones of you following me here already know

my work is often symbolic :)

i have small ears but i am a good listener

i listen in images and colors

i love talking to people but i like to be by myself

when i am worrying or in pain i really need to be alone

i learned to get in balance more easily

i became happier the older i got

i like to dance

i have big hands, i like using them

i am sensitive to atmospheres and moods

i don't reveal myself easily but my friends know me very well

i found some answers, i still have many questions 

'I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere

in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living'

Handles

i live in an old house with old doors,

  all of our cupboards and closets were bought second(or more) hand

i had this dream ;

i was openening doors in my house and behind them were the possessions

of the previous owners

i recognized every door but not the things behind them

it felt weird but in a pleasant way

like a journey of discovery

Garden in June

and the grass kept swaying

Drawing challenge/ favourite object

small clay figure, once brought from a flea-market in France (for

many years, on weekends and holidays

 we wandered through that great country, visiting friends, cities and villages,

lots of brocante shops and markets) it was an amazing time full of surprises

and  this little man always brings back those memories.

just a few days ago,one morning coming down the stairs i was totally

surprised and enchanted by this lampshade my partner made.

using all kinds of bits and pieces we gathered over the years

he made this beauty, and at the moment, well ...it certainly is 

my favourite object.

please have a look for more participants at 

Helen's wonderful blog, in the nick of time she came up with this

amusing theme

have a nice weekend

Drawing challenge / Letters

You wrote me your green mountains

sky-blue

wooly clouds

Gold and orange,

your laughter filled rooms

children at play

Your lines painted me darker tones too

and 

whites and turquoise 

the secrets of your heart

I saw your smile

and heard you 

close.

Mano's wonderful theme made me scribble on a small piece of cardboard,

 some black paper and take up my brush.

For more please visit her very creative Mano's welt,

and enjoy our 'letters'.

Nice weekend!
