Portrait of a woman

I have been sketching for a new portrait:

charcoal on acrylic paint

And it turned into this:

Lots of layers and changes. 

ETSY made local in Utrecht

Nice times this weekend,

more than 50 etsy-shops and their makers

together in an artistic greenhouse.

My handpainted signs :):

My cards in between the green plants:

There were lots of visitors (did not take pictures of them) 

and it was nice to meet all those other etsy-shops.

ETSY made in NL... in a few days

This Saturday and Sunday there are ETSY-markets throughout the Netherlands.

I will be there in Utrecht on Saturday,

a large greenhouse full of ETSY-shops :).

Autumn colours

Beautiful light in autumn...

walking through the forest...

This is what I see

...when hiking through woods in Autumn:

 

colour contrast, shapes, repeat, patterns

location: Canada

Making pictures teaches me a lot for painting: trying different compositions,

looking at colour combinations, and seeing all the different shapes Nature creates.

Looking down

Old floor tiles, I love them:

 

They give so much character to a room.

Interiors with a touch of art

 

 

In the beginning of October I visited an interior and design fair in Amsterdam.

I am always interested in new products,

and was curious.

There was a lot to be seen,

I noticed an emphasis on artistic interiors

and took some photos.

I love how art can be a part of everyday life 

and can give you so much joy by looking at it.

Of course I hope my art and drawings can be part of someone's interior as well :).
