Story stick


At these long winter evenings i love to sit on the couch by the open fire
 with a sketchbook on my lap.
Listening to cd's or tv, dreaming away looking into the flames,  images come and go
and some find their way onto the paper.
Some simply stay there, 
some have the potential to become a gouache or a painting or something else...




This small scribbling  became a gouache.

  2. Dear Renilde,
    so wonderful! Mystic, poetic and wise...
    The scribbling and the painting reminds me on a totem pole. They have the same spiritual natur.

    lovely to look at your process.
    a process which is so very different to any next person.
    from sketch to gouache.
    what a wonder, and loving it too.
