… goodness … it’s been aaaages !!!

…. hi everybody… yes ages…… so much happened in the meantime… healthwise and artwise too of course 🙂 i could add a few paintings and drawings here.. gosh…… and i will… slowly.. one by one. starting with the newest… the one that is not even finished yet ! but why not… i will show you my art in reversed order…. more or less. i am not a very organized person… more the spontaneous, temperamental, emotional type. ask my husband… he will confirm this for sure 🙂 🙂 🙂 poor man… i love him dearly 🙂

yes well, so let me start with my WIP… the one i have started today.. it is about… 1/3rd finished… it has a working title, but i wont tell it… cause then you will start guessing what the finished artwork will look like and i do not want that. it is heavily mixed-media of course… 🙂

healthwise… well my last MRI was not so good. it shows that the tumor in my spine has grown. that is why i need a wheelchair now when i have to master longer walks, i.e. as of about 10 steps i need it. at home i use a stick or my rolly .. either one. that tumor is a real bastard… not only is it of the “triple-negative” type.. oh no.. now it winds itself around my nerves.. the ones in my spine… approx. in the area of the coxxygial bone/lumbar vertebrae … now my doc is sending me for another spinal, thorax etc CT and a head MRI – yeah.. also got one tumor in my head. don’t think that it has grown though…. the side effects in my face haven’t worsened… so i do not really worry.. but we shall see.

i feel good mind you. .. at least in my head.. meaning… my psyche is just doing fine… only my body is getting unreliable. oh well, such is life. i am religious.. yes i believe in God and i know He is with me.. so why worry. i cannot change anything, anyway. worrying is just a waste of time. apart from creating art, i have now joined a hotline… a hotline that is open for senior citizens who feel lonely, who just want to chat, talk about their everyday life, complain about the “loud” neighbour, ask questions about various things… it is a very nice and rewarding “job” – a voluntary job of course. we are a team of about 40 people, we take our turns, our shifts are 3 hours, and we work about 2-3 shifts per week. we have clients that call daily… and others that just call once or twice. as i said… i enjoy doing it.

ok enought talk. here it is………. my latest WIP… enjoy and guess 🙂 have fun 🙂

Peace, Love and Light to all !!!

OK… one more… the last one i finished … the title is
A TALE OF LIFE

… negative space .. which is not negative at all …

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

A Spring Greeting from Switzerland

… so it looks… like this is not a one-time thing ….

… my love to create stories within stories seems to be the style i like best… no comments from my side… let the viewer of my art find her or his story.. her/his component of my art that resonates within that person… and create their own story from it. so here is another one… BIRD AND APPLETREE it is called… another story… with more story elements integrated into it. it is a mixed media drawing on paper … 32 x 24 cm big… or make that 12.5 x 9.4 inches — and yes of course it is also for sale. for more info please contact me. this piece of art is also available in my various online stores.. such as mimulux.pixels.com … or RedBubble .. for more info just check out my “Buy my Art” page — just click on the link …
i am already working on a new story within a story… ….. ♥ ♥ ♥ — have a great week all !

BIRD AND APPLE TREE

BI

.. three blind mice .. lalala.. only these 3 aren’t blind at all …..

a bit of fun again… my inner child having a ball. the grown up me had this idea for a new painting… and my inner child immediately picked up on it….. and tadaa here are those three mice.. a family of mice going for a stroll during a fullmoon night. the first positive comment on facebeook said … that my art makes her smile. what a wonderful compliment. there is enough bad stuff around us… and smiles are so important. so this is my way of giving smiles to people. i hope it works..

wishing you all a wonderful thursday…. love and light… and many smiles…… pat

Some new recycled art on cardboard. … this particular cardboard was taken from a carton of catfood.. ha haha.. isn’t THAT ironic 🙂

… an now, back to the garden …

here is my latest piece of art… from down below sealevel – see my previous blog entry – now we land in a garden.. my inner child makes us land there… in this – i have to say so myself – lovely monlit garden.. where a row of tulips is bathing in the light of the full moon… some nightcreature is flying towards the garden on the far right.. an owl perhaps ?? i don’t know, and the creature is not defined .. so let us just leave it as it is… flying into the night….

… and here is a very sketchy Giselle… one that doesn’t laugh …

Giselle the cow that doesn’t laugh is the full title (see below)… there’s a advert going around here in Europe – only ?? i wouldn’t know – about a laughing cow.. that cow advertises cheese.. and very well so cause it works.. the advert.. at least it did on me.. i love that cheese .. even today. i don’t know if THAT cow has a name… but mine does. Giselle.. as i was sketching her she looked at me and informed me that this was her name.. ok. nobody’s gonna argue with a cow. so here we go……….

… some swiss stuff… and such

my new art DER BEOBACHTER/THE OBSERVER … will be more meaningful to my Swiss followers and friends here… Der Beobachter “….. is a German-language Swiss magazine. Published in Zürich, its 26 issues a year focus on consumer, health and political content…” “…. The Beobachter TV series on SRF 1 and SRF 2 as well as on radio DRS 3 also contributes helpful consumer information.” both quotes from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beobachter_(magazine) so that was my inspiration i hope you will enjoy my painting.

.. no story today… just a little bit of nature ..

today my focus is on nature….. on a park nearby… on some photos i took. decided to go for a walk this morning and – as always – haven’t regretted it. the park was almost empty..
wishing you all a great weekend….. please.. take care and stay healthy !

a new WIP and a photo

yesterday i decided to go for a walk.. a walk in the park… bally park to be exact.. a beautiful place.. close to where i live. it will be my last walk there for a while though.. since i am an “at risk person” … i will no longer venture outside but rather stay indoors.. and just go with the flow.

anyway… the walk happened… the WIP happened.. the other way round though.. FIRST the WIP.. late at night, the day before yesterday… then the walk. i don’t feel “stuck” indoors.. it is as it is, or as i said above… i just go with the flow. my muse is very busy i am glad to say… lots of ideas tumbling around in my head.. and i actually have ANOTHER WIP… but that is still very very early stages so no photos yet. but that will be a first for me.. it is BIG… 60×80 cm.. i never made anything that big before…… it is a bit.. awe-some.. but having a very pushy muse i know.. i will get there eventually.
take care everybody… and i wish you good health ! much love and light to all ♥

my new WIP

one model … two poses

yesterday i went for a walk… took my camera along and there she was .. the model.. relaxing on a garden wall.. watching me first… being very aloof…. then just dozing off.. ignoring me completely … at least i was allowed to take a few shots.. and here are the results.. one in black and white… one slightly edited, both available in following galleries:
