Coffee

Having a coffee....with my family is one of the best things to do on a free day....
and of course my daughter is not having coffee ;) she is having hot chocolate!
Coffee is the theme of the Mix it Monthly Challenge this lovely month of May:

Enjoy the Coffee!

Circles....
I love the theme of circles, which is the theme of the Art Journal Journey for May....they are everywhere! We need circles of friends in our circle of life....we might even see a crop circle...we listen to circles in poetry and songs...
I chose a song myself this time to circle around!
Hope you enjoy my work:

Butterflies

Spring has arrived and I love the pretty creatures making me and the kids happy:

I was inspired by the Sketchbook Challenge theme for March which is: COLD/WARM
Have a great Spring!

A Fantasy Scene / Phantasiebilder

A Fantasy Scene / Phantasiebilder 

is the theme of the Art Journal Journey for the month of March. What a great theme! Thank you. I have been working on a series of Alfons Mucha inspired paintings, photographs and water color collages in which I try to create Fantasy Scenes! It was my idea to fill Mucha's designs with the image of a man instead of the women he used in his work. I hope you like them!

(The painting is unfinished!)

Photocopy and watercolor sketch for the painting:

 And here are some others I wanted to do painting of maybe throughout the year...

 This last one turned out to get a bit more abstract.....my idea here was to make my model look like a tree...
....kind of as a male version of Daphne, who transforms....metamorphosis....
