Tijdens een workshop bij Joke Klootwijk heb ik gewerkt aan deze aquarel, het was reuze leerzaam en weer erg gezellig en leuk om te doen, Bedankt Joke!

At a Workshop from Joke Klootwijk, I worked on this painting : two Old Fisher boats, it was very nice doing so and I learned a lot again. Thank you Joke!

Wip Cat in stone corner

2012-01-11T05:21:00.000-08:00

I've been working a lot lately on this little kitty, with pastels from Rembrand on canson Mi grey paper. I liked to try the rough side of the paper for once and I'm amazed by the outcome. The background needs working on same as the kitty isn;t yet completely finished. But I have much fun doing this.

Visions

2012-01-03T14:03:00.000-08:00

Tried painting with artisan oil paint on water basic, in a technique from Bob Tomanovic. It was a veru nice way to paint in an abstract way while learning how.

Ik heb dit schilderij met olieverf op waterbasis geschilderd volgens een techniek van Bob Tomanovic. het was heel erg leuk om abstract te schilderen en toch te weten dat er een manier was om dit te doen.

Moments out of Maggy's day

2011-11-15T13:32:00.000-08:00

This is me, I'm the dog in this house, hmm.. well little dog then...

I like to play a lot with all my favourite toys, this is one of them: "snake" I like to hold him in my mouth, see?

And sometimes I just like lazy on the chair, but since I'm very curious I squeeze myself between the chair and my boss' leg. A dog needs to stay on top of everything!

"squeezed"

IF:Scary

2011-11-02T04:19:00.000-07:00

Scary the scarescrow, tries so very much to be scary, but all he achieves is the crows laughing at him and stealing his straws....

Lit my candle

2011-11-01T05:30:00.000-07:00

I love this season when the leaves are colouring on the trees, when they fall down on the soil, when nature is rich of colours and fruits, and wind makes the leaves twirl around. If weather starts to change we shelter in our homes and we start to lit candles, how lovely this is.. our senses being enriched on all different layers. This is why I started a new project to create nature's mystery inside our home.
I made it all of clay, acryl paint and different kinds of antique- pastes.

Hoe leuk is de herfst als buiten de blaadjes kleuren aan de bomen, de natuur een verscheidenheid aan fruit, noten en geuren te bieden heeft? Heerlijk vind ik het om te wandelen terwijl de wind de blaadjes om me heen blaast. En als het dan echt te guur weer wordt dan is het lekker om binnen de kaarsjes aan te steken. Tijd om met nieuwe projectjes te beginnen... zoals deze boom, opgebouwd uit aluminiumfolie, crepe- tape, klei, acryl- verf en antique- pasta.
Leuk gezicht hoor als zijn kaarsje wordt aangestoken 's avonds!

Logo for steam-engine T-shirt

2011-10-23T02:39:00.000-07:00

I have been working on this Logo for a friend of mine, this is his steam- engine ( rail 7 and 1/4 ). He asked me to draw it in a way that he can make a logo for his T-shirts and other clothing which he wears while driving around on his loc. I found it very much fun to do. Its drawn with white pencil and white ink on black paper, so that it can be easily made into a logo on a dark background T-shirt.

Dit logo heb ik getekend voor een vriend van me, dit is zijn stoomtrein (spoor 7 en 1/4 ). Hij heeft me gevraagd om van zijn trein een zodanig model te tekenen dat hij er gemakkelijk een logo van kan laten maken voor op T-shirts en andere kleren die hij draagt als hij op de Romulus rijdt. Het was een erg leuk klusje. Ik heb het getekend met wit potlood en witte inkt op zwart papier zodat het gemakkelijk als logo op een zwarte achtergrond gemaakt kan worden.

Lotus FLower - Lotus Bloem

2011-10-11T13:34:00.000-07:00

Finished this study of graphyte today, its an assignment I've had to do for my drawingclass. It was fun to do, I had learned to pay especially attention to the shadow and light, spots.

Vandaag heb ik deze tekening afgemaakt voor tekenles, het is een studie van grafiet waarbij ik vooral aandacht heb leren geven aan de schaduw en licht aspecten. Ook heb ik leren tekenen in laagjes, hoewel dat laatste nog wel ge- oefend dient te worden

Imperfect is perfect too, if you're wearing glasses or your teeth are brecketed or your doggy is a one ear missing little streetdog... who cares?

August

2011-08-01T15:57:00.000-07:00

Today already the first day of the last month withouth the letter R- in it, when we move further into summer, and see nature blossom around us, I can not help myself to admire what is happening every time and time again. August is also called the harvest month and clearly starting to show it's wealth around us, I have seen the dark red to dark purple, almost black ripe coloured blackberries on the bushes underneith the trees in the forrest already. Also the Elder is leting his berries hang down in a lushfull show of deep red to black colours.And even if the wasps are flying around more agressively, just think ... this is nature aswell, I heard a tip today that might keep them away from your table: take a lemon, cut it in halve and put cloves in it, then place it on your table. It is said that this is something that will keep them away.

Lotus

2011-07-29T07:25:00.000-07:00

This is our kitty Lotus, she always liked to sit in the back of our garden, where she watched the little birds from afar. How often have I wondered if she would catch one and what she would have done with it if she did.... Sweet Lotus I know you have no pain any more, and I cherish all the special moments that we had together.
