wow.. long break… but.. i am … Crazy About You Baby !!!

yes.. i was gone for quite a while… sorry about that ………. but i had a bit of a roughish time.. slowly getting better though… back to painting…… back to fun……….. joy……… experimenting and… just being creative.

in the meantime i also got quite a few new papers for my collages. i asked for paper contributions from my Facebook friends… and quite a number of them were so kind to send me new papers……… 🙂

before my “roughish time” i had started three paintings.. one i finished today… when i was “interrupted” .. i only had the black background…… and today………. wow……… creativity hit me and i finished it… here we go

.. no i won’t add a title .. even if i am told to do so :)

no title

yes.. being a bit rebellious again…. but that is me…. this little mixed-media drawing just comes along without a title… nothing.. nada.. it is so totally up to you, the viewer, to create your own story from this. does it speak to you? yes ?? then what… where… who.. which one.. what is it, that speaks to you.. sparks your imagination to create your own story? i would love to hear that.. but i realize… i wont get any replies.. or perhaps just one or the other… it would be fun to hear what you have to say about it however….. 🙂

so i do wish you a lovely day.. enjoy it… make the best of it…. life is beautiful….. so … LIVE 🙂

namaste……….. pat 🙂

p.s. … it is on cardboard… size approx. 19 x 14/9 centimeters…. 🙂

.. prepping backgrounds… trying out new stuff.. this and that

today i seem to be really busy… after cleaning my flat – got visitors tomorrow .. ! – and getting my first bit of a tan on my NEW BIG SUNNY BALCONY .. and then preparing lunch… i decided to try out some new things i got. i usually use white gesso as a primer… – on anything.. paper, canvas, wood – but the other day i ordered transparent and black gesso. ok .. black gesso i knew already but transparent one, was new to me. so been giving it a try on various papers and i am looking forward to see what happens. … below a little bit of “visual info” … 🙂

so… here a few pics of the various gessos i used… the yellow one is … transparent gesso then yellow acrylic ink over it.. i am working on that one.. something is in there that my muse finds fascinating so.. going with the flow on that one. the others still have to wait a bit. top left… you see a bit of my workspace… actually THAT is my dining room and as i have guests for LUNCH tomorrow……. yup… i will have to put it all in a box and then… just re-arrange my “improvised studio” in the evening. my real studio is still full of moving boxes AND.. most importantly… i need two more tables.. 3 are not enough. plus.. i would need another bookshelf.. or something like that… but… one by one….. i cannot do it all in one day 🙂 as for the tables… i will see what the salvation army has in its secondhand shop … they usually have fabulous things !!

so let me see what happens with that yellow mixed media painting.. you might be seeing it again ! have a lovely weekend !!

… and the series continues ….

my outsider art is happily continuing… i am finding it more and more easy to let my inner child take over. mind you.. the controlling inner grown-up or critic always tries to get a foot in the door.. but as we go on it no longer feels threatening.. or even overpowering… it is possible to get that foot away and close the door to that critic.. that spoil-fun .. nagging, grumbling other side… not in a “brutal” way.. but in a gentle but firm manner. Telling it to stop right there, setting my boundaries and clearly.. drawing a line.. 🙂
so here is the latest in my series… as all of my art, this is also for sale… and if you are interested please drop me a line.

Hänsel und Gretel kommen aus dem Wald / Hänsel and Gretel emerging from the Forest
acrylic ink on paper
14.5 x 21 centimeters

i hope you enjoy my latest art … thanks for viewing it 🙂

… so now, let’s get a little bit serious .. i have to admit something …. :)

good morning friends … well.. you might have noticed that lately i have published more and more art brut / outsider art paintings… this is actually what i always wanted to paint but never had the courage to do.. i was used to painting “nice” and “pretty” .. which is absolutely ok of course.. but it wasn’t or isn’t really me. art brut is me.. letting the inner child take control.. complete control.. and shut down that inner critic, that adult spoil-fun .. the funny thing is.. these paintings sell immediately. the cow and the blue goat sold within 3 hours of me uploading them. no.. it is not the money that interests me.. but it shows me that my paintings seem to appeal.. the people buying them can feel… that these paintings come from my heart and my soul. they ARE me… so i really hope that you too enjoy these paintings.. have fun.. laugh.. and embrace that inner child yours and mine !! love and light to all

patterns-textures-layers … sketches !

my muse and i decided it was time for some fun.. mind you.. being creative is always fun.. but if you create something in the hopes that PERHAPS somebody MIGHT be interested in buying your art.. there is a bit of an edge to the fun. at least for me … this however.. sketches.. are just that. sketches.. no ambitions and hopes that PERHAPS somebody MIGHT want to buy them.. if yes, great.. if not.. great ! so there is totally no pressure on the creative process.. no mights, and hopes attached, no fears of making mistakes.. just completely letting go and accepting what’s coming my way.. fun with testing and exploring different techniques.. different media.. mixing them.. scribbling, writing, drawing, using pencils, crayons, left-over sticks from burnt-down incense sticks, etc etc.. adding paper, gauze, acrylic gel medium.. anyway.. you get the drift. and now i finished this first set.. and already new ideas for another set are bubbling in my mind.

this feels GOOD, this is REFRESHING, this is how it should be !!! LIFE is GOOD 🙂 have a fabulous day and thanks for dropping by and reading this !
