oh wow………

it is AAAAAAAAAAGES……. since i have been here last. i just couldn’t write. i was in hospital twice… once i even landed on ICU and my family was called by the docs… were told to wish me goodbye & farewell … well as you can see, i am still here.. thank you God for that 🙂 i am still with my lovely husband, family, friends… carers, … careres…. yes….. because they care …. for me…… and about me. and that is wonderful… my cancer is the same as before… i think at the moment the metastases have been stopped from growing more. they haven’t spread either … but of course i am in a wheelchair. i can not walk longer distancances… well short ones neither. thus the wheelchair. i do have a ROLLI tho… short stretches like in my apartment are ok with that. and the beauty is.. i can turn it around and sit down in it. that is good because my legs just give out at times….. how to walk properly if there is no feeling in your legs, your feet, your thighs ? awkward i can tell you. but i am good. no more than that. i am fine 🙂 God is with me.. i love Him i can tell ya. HE does so much for me too….. HE is the real carer … as i said, i LOVE him and i care for him too and i am full of gratitude for the lovely things i get daily. i am forever grateful for this gift i got from Him. … i am a positive person… i am an optimist… and i love life. this is what lets me live with cancer, cancer that – according to meds – is not cureable. … cancer in the last stage.. i have palliative care…… palliative meaning —> perhaps prolonging life, making living circumstances more comfy…
my death has been taken care of. i have made plans, which i still need to write down, but it is all here in my head… having looked at death and having made those plans… i can put all of this death-stuff aside and continue enjoying life 🙂
of course, when i was hospitalised i did not create art….. just one piece of a grumpy fish, very art brut, outsider art in style, this little fish in his grumpyness went off to the USA. but my creativity is back. i have made a few new paintings, and just today i started on a new piece of art… the background is happening. at the same time, ok about 2 weeks ago, i re-discovered an old love. knitting. at the moment it is either knitting or painting… my hands are always busy in a way. knitting has become my way to get grounded again… it is so zen, meditative, relaxing, fun… in short… i LOVE knitting 🙂 i will show you……. i am making a pair of sox for my bestie friend in the USA … and i will also show you my new background. and apart from that you have plenty to read …… so i will come to an end now. look at the pics… read what i wrote… or don’t … and i wish you all a lovely weekend.

with much Love and Light ………. pat aka mimulux 🙂

p.s. ok.. you are right… i changed my mind.. i only uploaded art i created since leaving hospital. some of them are for sale… please check out my homepage on DailyPaintworks … tada.. see ya 🙂

the buxom mermaid is gone…. here’s the “catty” one ……

SILENTLY AMUSED

She is strong, powerful and confident. Silently amused she watches the people surrounding her, watching her, thinking she hasn’t noticed… but she has. With a silent purr she turns around and leaves the cafe.

a buxom country woman…. the title my friend gave this painting…… yeah… so it seems at first sight… but then is it really ? could she be something else…?? let’s hear a little more about Marguerite

answer to my friend’s email 🙂 :

Hello my Friend 🙂

I’m glad you like her  a buxom country woman … yes that’s what she seems to be..mmmmmh… but did you notice the scale pattern on her dress? Is it even a dress,  is it a fabric pattern … or could they be proper fish scales … making her a mermaid in disguise?? An elderly,  buxom one, but also mermaids grow older … 😉

and that is how this painting got it’s title……. MARGUERITE A BUXOM MERMAID. because yes… also mermaids grow older and expand a bit, well some do, others don’t. it is the same everywhere 🙂 so here she is…. Marguerite. i think she enjoys visiting our world, enjoys being in contact with humans… her family is big, but her children have moved out of their home, got married and had children of their own… same story everywhere. but Marguerite had one big wish … and that was getting in touch with us humans. her disguise is…. very down to earth 🙂 not what you expect a mermaid to look like. but then, how should mermaids look ? does it always have to be ‘glimmerglimmerglitzy? no certainly not. Marguerite likes her disguise, she sells fish on the market… and she is happy to be know as Marguerite, the fishmonger, and that is that….

Marguerite, a Buxom Mermaid in Disguise

so… Marguerite a Buxom Mermaid in Disguise would be the full title, but that’s a bit too long for some sites…. so let’s just stick to the original version.

Merci mes chers amis et amies … take care, have a lovely afternoon, enjoy it………. have fun 🙂

love and light to all ……….. Pat ❤ ❤ ❤ 🙂

p.s. yes of course she is for sale… if you are interested, just contact me through my DailyPaintworks.com homepage.

let the colors speak … and i will stay quiet… sort of at least

i am doing two things at the moment……. art-wise that is. on the one hand i follow my usual chaotic style… but as of lately a new “style” has slowly crept in. a style that works purely with colours. no figures…. no trees, no people or houses…….. just colors…….. colors that say it all. i will show you some of those today… and let THEM do the talking … or … the whispering.. or whatever appeals to you… makes you hear them… sometimes… also the eyes can hear….. did you know that ? so…… listen carefully and i hope you will enjoy :).

Springtime in Paris

In the Jungle

Legend of the barking Dog

as you can see… this is a novum for me. a novum in the sense that i can stick to one style alone… well two that is.. but this is the first time that something consistent is happening. i know therer is more… there will be more…… so come with me on my journey ……….. and let’s go for it, in colors….

good evening.. and now it is really cold but now snow… sigh

when it is cold i like to have snow……… but apparently the weather does not agree with me. cold yes, snow no ! so there we go………. sun ! also ok. still……. snow and THEN add the sun……… now that would be perfect. ok i will stop rambling. instead let me introduce you to HER… a really Sassy Redhead … this also the title of my new painting. and sassy she sure is……. sassy, confident, proud… !!! good for her i say 🙂

A Sassy Redhead

so this is HER……… that sassy woman. of course she is available for sale… and as usual on my new site… just follow this link >>>> artbymimulux … wishing you a wonderful and cozy warm evening……. :))

.. the couple … my parents?? nope.. def not… must be another couple…

ey friends……. it is a bummer when you cannot sit properly…. those darn metastases are in my hips… my thigh .. my pelvic bones… so.. it hurts to sit… to walk……. but i am getting a wheelchair soon so.. that will take care of going outdoor-matters… looking forward to that… when i can move around outside again.. you bet i will have my camera ready by then :)) i also just purchased a memory-foam-gel-cushion.. thanks to that i hope that sitting will be more comfortable again 🙂

so.. what’s that all got to do with my painting ?`? nothing…….. i guess… or do you see a connection ?? ok.. so.. this is my latest painting….. The Couple – Das Paar…… who is who?? no idea… do you ??
