Corners of my studio #1

My studio is a bubbling place of ideas and materials.

It is also a place which becomes more and more cluttered with given fabrics, 

assembled paper (to be used for fun projects), new paintings etc. :(

This is inspiring sometimes and other times I am too overwhelmed by all these materials.

So a resolution for the new year is: clean up my studio...

Since I was a teenager I have been collecting images which inspire me, 

in my studio I have covered one wall with these images (see pictures).

When I take a break from creating and painting I look at this wall just to be inspired again.

Shades of grey

looking at shades of grey, and translating bright colours 

into a black and white scheme resulted in this:

Sparkles in 2014!

Wishing you a sparkling and wonderful new year!

Winter harvest - online magazine

A new issue of the online magazine Oh Marie! is available. It is a modern fun magazine on handmade, treasure hunting, men with beards and so on. The theme of this issue is Winter Harvest and it shows my painting on the Etsy-page (p. 38-39). Love it and wanted to share it! Here's the link:

Here are also some pictures of my painting desk. 

In printing it is called a drop cloth, I don't know whether there is a word for this one? 

The corner of my studio where I paint small things, is interesting in itself. 

Love all the accidents happening on my tabletop :)

Looking for...

inspiration... 

I am thinking of applying for a gallery in France, 

did not know what style to apply with, so made some sketches. 

Thought about a series of drawings like this one... because I really like to draw, 

but have decided on something else...

cannot say what it is... I have to work on it for a while.
