A photo walk in November

Yesterday I took a drive to search for November frost. I found it in Beatenberg near a beautiful church.
Not that I miss the frost, yesterday was a radiantly beautiful sunny day. + 4C. It’s hard to imagine that next weekend is the first Sunday of Advent. It’s in the air as it is a mix of autumn and spring. When I got home, I packed up my little music box, the little angel playing harp. An antique small figurine that I found at a Red Cross flea market a few years ago.

Vintage MAPSA Swiss Movement Musical Hand Carved/painted Wooden Angel Play Harpa. (music Brahms Wiegenlied).

Today is more like normal November weather. No sun but no rain either. I’ll take a car ride with my camera a little later in the day. And as I finished with the artwork “Tones of Music”, I will continue with the next one in the serial “Sounds of the Universe”. Those artworks is made for my own walls. 🙂 Those paintings are a little bit different from my illustrations and with much more vivid colors but I feel joy to create contrasts.

Sketch during it’s process

 

The freedom of creating  a sketch is ;  with a sketch the  childish in me can play a little.

Sometimes it happens that a motif under my brush runs away from its starring role. Like this one.    I noticed that the acrylics I had intended to paint  with was dry as tinder , I  have to  use watercolors .

The snakes in the picture, well I guess it has to do with the  snake I found near the kitchen door,  Unconscious I invite the  everyday in  what I create . People use to say they like  my imagination and that I constantly surprise.

I’ll see what I make of this sketch tomorrow.  It has to grow up. Either there will be trash for it or a facelift.

I always paint when I think to give up painting

 

I paint when I am sad and I paint when I’m happy, I paint when life hurts and I paint when missing feels  under the skin. I paint anyway as most when I want to give up everything that is called to paint and today I paint all day long.

View from the window

It feels luxurious to lie in bed and watch the sunrise.
I woke up early, a little too early, but I got a wonderful spectacle show when the sun arose.
Today I will paint all day. .
