Survived The Wolves….

'Survived the Wolves'  Mixed media on collage 29x41cm

' Volcano'

'Volacano' Water colour on paper 21x29cm

I know it is totally different from what I am painting normally, though I always have water colour close to me, as I often start my paintings with watercolour. This work is abstract because I painted it mainly for a fabric competition…. and I would so love to have those colours on a beautiful silk ….. and YES it IS even a pattern repeat ... But at the end, I submitted another one :)

'Blue Stone' cushion

Textile Pattern


Still enjoying playing with pattern repeat and the the surprises with it ! Yesterday it started as a portrait ( see previous post) and to day a cushion…. They would work great together :) The cushion is, like all my other prints available on Red Bubble:here

Back to drawing

Bedrohung - Threat Mixed media ( pen, pencil and photoshop ) on paper. 

So nice to draw again and to get into that space where time is not important…..

Getting into a "pattern fever" !

' Tatoo' Mixed media

Pattern Repeat...

It has been such a long time for me to write here and even a longer time since I have painted!
I missed it terribly and as always: the restarting is never THAT easy …. I have been working a little bit in   my sketchbook, started to have few papers ready for when 'the time is ready' :)

To get back into creative work, I find it always easiest when I start something totally new. Some times just a new pencil or a different medium can do the trick, but after such a long break, I wanted to do something VERY different, so I started to do some research regarding textile design and the important pattern repeat… Very addictive subject I must say and full of surprises ! Loving it …. Here my first design:

Those cushions are from Redbubble (Doonas and bags are available as well !!)

Black Thoughts

Black Thoughts   Mixed media and collage on paper   29x41cm

My first painting after such a long time... and probably also the last one before the semesters starts again :) 

It is a bit different than my work usually I think, maybe because of my 'shade and shadow studies for interiors' Also I think I enjoyed to paint/draw it slowly without rush and the shading was more or less a meditative exercise !

It has been such a long time that I posted and an even longer time that I have painted. With all the time that I need to do my studies, there is just nooo time left at all for painting. But now the holidays are on, but I am not sure if I will get to 'real' painting.... I might just do few sketches in my sketchbook. It just takes time to get back into it ! And by that time I might be back at my studies again ;-) 

I hope everybody is well (and working more regular than I do !!!!)

The Starman (Juri Gagarin)

Starman  Mixed media and collage on old paper 25x25cm.

Something a little bit different today..... A painting inspired by an article I read about Juri Gagarin, the first man who really saw the stars !

There are so many courageous people out there to be admired, and I don't mean just the big courageous things like Juri did....

What I really like about sketchbooks is, that there is no fear.... the act of drawing or painting is more a playing than a planing..... The result is then often so different than expected with new ideas coming up while playing !

Dreaming Time

Dreaming Time   Mixed media and collage in sketchbook

I have worked the last couple of days in my sketchbook, but I am not really in the rhythm to paint, to write, to post ...... The internet makes a lot of things easier.... but on the same time makes also a lot of work ! I don't know how a lot of you do it ....
Sometimes I have the impression that the action around the painting ( taking a photo, resizing etc etc etc...) is more work than the actual painting :))

 Anyway, this painting is about  what I do at night :) I go and visit my old life !
