from the moment i got Patrice's invitation to a dc
themed 'coat', images began to built up in my head.
there was that idea of the garden wearing a new coat now for sure.
the only thing i lacked was time to put the image onto paper.
but with one eye on the clock i started painting.
after uploading the result i wasn't quite pleased about certain parts.
but time was up.
so later on and back home i decided to finish the gouache.
i made myself a cup of coffee and sat down.
the next moment i pushed over my cup and there was a gouache with a big coffee stain.
sigh
ok, no dc for me after all...
while tearing up the 'garden coat' an idea came to the rescue.
this is a challenge after all.
et voila
please have a look at Patrice's beautiful blog,
we are all wearing coats this weekend.
fine weekend to you

dearest Renilde!
ReplyDeletei LOVE the idea of the garden wearing a new coat
and the first painting looks so fine and cheerful
but i also like the end results
ok a coffee stain is no good
but that coat with the flowers and the bird... hmmm
it looks like a kimono and
although i am not a flower-pattern-girl
i truly like that one!!!!
thanks so much for joining!!

Hey, well done Renilde! Never give up. I'm sorry for your first beautiful image and the coffee, (heavens knows I've done the same myself so many times...except with tea), but that is an exceptional save. Don't you just love a challenge? Last week I accidentally rinsed my oil brush out in my tea instead of the turpentine! What are we like? :D
ReplyDeleteoye! spilled coffee
ReplyDeletei did that this morning, in the kitchen, on the counter, on the carpet, takes a while to clean up
fun that you took that as a challenge and your spring coat became two
i enjoy looking at your painting, the kitty in the air and springs new coat, lovely
i will have to hike the woods and see what springs coat is like today
Dear Renilde, I love your delicate colors and combining thoughts of nature and coat is charming, thank you! xo Leena
ReplyDeletea challenge that´s it... and I love your posting, the last image is so good and it´s beautiful, beauty everywhere

Wonderful to see all the different coats. Your "flower" coat reminds me of Monet's garden in Giverny. The garden as a coat.
ReplyDeletei guess what i like so much is 'or two'. because that is life. have one, or some more. we have the freedom to wish and get more... ah. ...
ReplyDelete... and have coffee come to your rescue. yep. i can live with that. n♥
Dear Renilde, I love the Idea of a Garden as a coat.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment.

And that's why our mother's told us not to drink coffee while we work! BUT Renilde, you won the challenge and create beauty out of stains. Love them all. xo
ReplyDeleteYes a challenge and in the end a wonderful result. I liked your garden-flower-coat at first sight but the cut out pieces are even more intruiging and special, so they would be my favorites anyway and one can see sometimes even an accident can bring the best results!

wonderful painting - the garden coat is so adorable! but I like the two "coffeecoats" too!
ReplyDeletehave a beautiful week, dear renilde!

a challenge, quite true. and you know what is funny, almost the same happened to me. when working on my tiny drawing, I first did put the black lines on paper. a mistake, of course. and when I've started coloring the yellow parts, everything turned black and ugly. but I've decided, I will dry it up and will keep on going. in the end, the paper looked much better, than I could have imagined. seems, that happened to your drawings as well, because they've turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSoft and charming! A dreamy look. I love the cat!
ReplyDeleteHi Renilde !!! Your art grows !!! You grow! I love your pictorial language (I think I told you) Somehow, your painting. with one person and flowers, it reminded me of Odilon Redon.
ReplyDeleteI congratulate you! :)))))))))
Beautiful. I love the vibrant colors of your coats!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable, I remembered I was once here in need of help on how to go about the problem of Stroke I was having, I must say those years was so frustrating, the experience was something outside the world of being normal,my wife had to join me in search of various kind of help,and the search lasted for 1 year and some months and like a dove sent from heaven, a friend of mine referred me to Dr Johnson a specialist with a difference full of knowledge, with his vaccines/medications and his advice on what to stay clear off and how to approach the problem, after one month of using his product, I was made well, I never believed there is a cure to Stroke, but now am a testimony I can move freely and all part of my body.
ReplyDeleteAny one with such problem can contact The Doctor on his mail address at drjohnson958@gmail.com
As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from stroke , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy husband was diagnosed of stroke and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he had difficult speaking , and he always complain of muscle weakness and balance disorder . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to stroke . I never imagine stroke has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. stroke has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony
Thanks to Dr Williams I am so happy today, my wife have been suffering from stroke for the past 8 years now, and i have spent a lot on western drugs which has all proved abortive, i have tried all means in life to get my wife out of this , but there was no answer until i decided to try herbal solution and i found Dr Williams online and i contacted him and after she took his medication as instructed, my wife is now completely cure from stroke within one month of usage, i am so much happy, thanks to Dr Williams for helping me get my wife life back again without any form of crisis, i promise to tell your name and good deeds to the whole world,if you have someone with stroke you can email him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for more information .
