but actually very positive in a painting. or wouldn’t you agree that it has a very positive influence on my latest painting? i love this style and there might just be a few more paintings where i will use up the negative space … hope you enjoy my “a Spring Greeting from Switzerland” … which is for sale on my Daily Paintwork Page … come and pay me a visit there ! so here is:
A Spring Greeting from Switzerland
mixed media on watercolour paper, size 21 x 14 centimeters
… this is actually the title of my new piece of art….. ECHOES FROM THE PAST… which would also mean.. memories. what memories do i have from my past…… what memories do you have from your past?? is it all good, better and best ? or bad, worse… worst ? to me it is a bit of both. there are good memories… wonderful ones in fact…… others are not so nice….. but then what to do… shrug your shoulders and move on. the past is the past and cannot be undone.. it is part of US… our personal history…. or life… it has formed us…. made us into what we are today…… that’s just life isn’t it………..
here we go again… the sales pitch…… visit my gallery on ArtPal … it’s worth dropping by and having a look.. there are still a few days before christmas ……… :)) salespitch is over now .. relax all 🙂
wishing you all a marvelous afternoon… be good, be happy, be healthy 🙂 much love and light… pat
what more can i say.. this is me. with energy circles….. jumping up and down… playing snakes and ladders, letting my inner child take over… be creative, paint….. draw…… LIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAA !!! mais oui, c’est moi… it is me.. there are tears, there is sunshine… there are bubbly moments, stern moments…. ladders to climb up.. ladders to climb down.. there are caves and shady places.. there is sunlight and brightness… this is the way to live. let your inner child live, don’t forget that child inside of you…. give it space to grow, to be creative, have fun… and life will be so much easier to live :))
my two weeks of radio therapy are over…. i feel a bit less tired… though those strong pain meds still make me a bit drowsy.. but slowly i am getting used to them and soon i will be able to drive again. met my new physiotherapist today and i just know we will get along just fine..
meanwhile…. my inner child is having a ball……. because we are about to start on a new painting…. yayyyyyyyy to that 🙂
all my art is for sale btw…… for info…… just contact me through me contact page… thanks 🙂 be good, stay healthy….. and take care. much love and light to all !!!
Kirchturmschläfer – The Sleeper on the Church Tower
going through my galleries on pixels.com i found this.. Kirschturmschläfer… or in english.. the Sleeper on the Church Tower. it is rather old.. and i painted it with gouache.. the original isn’t available any longer but of course it can be purchased as print and on various products (also face masks) in my store >>> Kirchturmschläfer
i have started going through my galleries on pixels.com .. cause they added many new products.. and my older art is not yet available on all of them.. so i am taking it easy.. going from gallery to gallery.. picking out some art to be updated… but also deleting art i am no longer happy with. be it because i am no longer happy with the art as such.. or with the quality of the upload. it is fun going through the older stuff… fun.. but also inspiring.. energizing… giving new input ….
have a lovely weekend all 🙂
KashmirÂ
digital art created in Fraxplorer and edited in PaintShopPro … admittedly; this is a bit of an older image, but i edited it a bit more.. enlarged it.. so that it now it is also available not only as artprint, posters and on cards, but also on various products.
i was inspired by Led Zeppelin’s great title Kashmir when creating this art…
Lisa’s Garden – Lisa’s Garten …
mixed media on stretched canvas.. 30 x 30 cm
.. this painting i created in memory of a dear friend of mine.. who sadly left this realm in april of this year. she and i have been friends for several years.. lisa was also an outsider artist.. and we never met personally.. we only exchanged emails.. messages on fb .. well the usual. friendships can grow.. even if you never meet in person. i am lucky to have a few such friends all over the world. yay to the internet for that.
the downside is.. that usually – apart from email address and fb account – there is no more info that we have. even if you exchange photos, art, ideas, thoughts… we rarely have a phone number.. or an address. in lisa’s case i did have an address because, as i mentioned, we swapped our art. so anyway.. one day.. you have a friend.. and next day.. this friend vanishes. ok.. lisa has been very sick.. and our contact became a bit less frequent over the past few months. she was in hospital on and off.. had treatments and procedures.. but we would stay in touch. not worrying if several weeks would pass without a word. now though.. i did have a bit of a funny feeling… and eventually i started looking for a phonenumber….. thanks google for that. imagine my shock when what i found was….. her obituary… ! 😦 … only 3 weeks after our last correspondance… she moved on.. to another realm……… yes, i was shocked.. yes i was sad. i did not feel like painting or creating any type of art for the past few days…… you migh have noticed. and then suddenly my muse took me to my studio… and this painting happened.. in memory of my dear friend lisa.. who was so fond of flowers.. nature… i feel blessed to have known such a wonderful person ♥
i honestly don’t know if the term is “correct” .. but i feel it is……… my style is very expressive.. and i am definitely an outsider…….. and intuitive arist.. and i use a lot of symbols in my art.. but that would be too much.. expressive-intuitive-symbolic-outsider … def too much. so i stick to.. what i said in the title.
anyway… the wise one… the ancient tree… symbol for life, for the self… for growth, family.. deeply rooted in mother earth… reaching for the heavens… spreading, growing .. branching off, whilst the roots grow and spread within the ground, stabilizing and nourishing the tree .. i will not go into detail.. i think we all have our own views, our own meanings, stories and histories connected to trees…
i love trees. the beautiful almost perfect ones.. but even more so the gnarly ones.. the oddly shaped ones.. with faces and knobs and scars.. they have their stories to tell .. how wonderful it is to be with such a tree… in silence, listening and feeling the story it has to tell us.
The Wise One … can be purchased … the original painting is available on ArtFinder , prints in my usual shops on RedBubble, FineArtAmerica/Pixels.com and Artflakes. for info please go to my Buy my Art page .. thank you 🙂
