Ha monsters...this weeks drawing challenge is hosted by the lovely and ever surprising Julia
Thoughts; The real monsters in life are greed and jealousy and all their baby monsters....
Facts; I was rather in a playful mood....

Once in a while there is a monster,  hiding between moon and stars keeping me awake at night.

May you all meet friendly monsters this weekend :)

Burning heart and other things

Lord Byron and thunderstorms

The past days we had several thunderstorms, some mighty spectacular and very impressive.


I have this thing with baskets and boxes,  so i felt very lucky finding all these in the thrift shop.
Had to bring Lord Byron too ,although i have no clue what the purpose of that box was.

Thruth is always strange, stranger than fiction.

Have a nice weekend!

Beachwalking diptych

Sunday evening, and the sun came out....at last...

after a weekend with shower after shower...

and heavens, opened completely...

I was already thinking about away to escape...

There was found some light in the thrift shop,

a pony, galloping by,





and a large bowl filled with glowing warmth.

Drawing / Body

This weeks drawing challenge is hosted by sweet, creative  Julia.
Thank you dear.

Beach walk

I'm trying out this very fine, soft grain paper.
The gouache in my previous post was also on this paper; it is very smooth and different to work on, the paint smears like butter.
Outside rain, lots of rain, but summer cupboard brings summery inspiration.

She knew a thousand and one tales too.

Pinks and reds

Giant radish from the kitchen garden,

burweed;  firework flowers  for Julia because they remind me of her painted flowers,

once popular, now out of fashion, carnations with a scent so divine.

Drawing / Wings

Birds on the wing in the summer cupboard, summer...giving me wings too.
Warm south wind, flowered breezes, gliding through the house are having that effect on me.

And the ancient dream; how would it feel to have wings, or is it just the longing, the magic of that dream that carries a greater value.

Just when she thought she had grasped it......

rosemary olive oil
basil vinegar.....

before a thunderstorm , and i didn't say 'smile'.....

preparing some pieces of wood and cardboard...

a bit of playing...

and looking for some black and white string, which was nowhere to be found.
