Two T-shirts

It's been lightyears since I did anything with coloured pencils and I am glad I gave it a try again as this little drawing lent itself to it.  It was so much fun! I've decided to do more drawing and colouring in the near future.

At last.

Into the Village

oil on canvas - Öl auf Leinwand - huile sur toile
60 x 60 cm / 23,6 x 23,6"

This is a larger version of the last painting I posted.  I have been struggling with it over the last week and was more than once on the verge of wiping it all out. This morning I attempted it one last time by trying out painting with a spatula instead of brushes for the first time ever. And voilà! it worked much better than before and was good fun, too. 
I find it quite a bit more difficult to paint in a larger size after having concentrated mainly on the smaller daily paintings for many years - but I am enjoying the challenge!

A good friend of mine who studied with me at the art school in Berlin a long time ago, lives and works in a lovely old workshop. The photo I took there when visiting him in summer inspired me for this painting.

At the Seaside

oil on canvas panel - Öl auf Malplatte - huile sur carton entoilé
15 cm x 15 cm / 5,9" x 5,9"

This is a sketch for a larger painting I might want to paint soon. It is based on one of my all time favourite black and white photographs of my parents and was taken when they had just started dating. I love the carefree mood and the feeling of summer, sun and love. And, from a visual point of view I really like the way the colours of their clothes form a cross - a checker board design - and I like the angle, seeing them from below which gives lots of open sky as background.

Queen Charlotte in Fashion

collages of watercolour painting and magazine

Last week I did a little watercolour after Sir Thomas Lawrence's Queen Charlotte and while I was quite pleased with the figure itself, I totally messed up the background. As so often with mistakes like that, it lead me to an unforeseen new idea which was fun to try out. I cut out the figure and thought of integrating it into a collage. Well, I didn't actually get very far with that idea, due to time shortage, but I did at least manage to find a few different backgrounds for the Queen in an old fashion magazine. So, here's a selection of those for the time being. Maybe more of this another time. Hope you enjoy....

Spurred Green Orange

This one I just manage to catch before it flew away! I needed it as a model.
I don't know if this title actually means what I was trying to say. I looked up the german word "beflügelt" in the dictionary and found "spurred" - seems a bit odd to me. In german it means "having wings" and at the same time "feeling uplifted, nearly as if you could fly".

Here's our green orange harvest - does anybody have an idea how they could be transformed into something edible? A recipe maybe?
