some things around me

Some of my favored movies 2 tapes from Monty Pythons classical productions :

"The meaning of life"

and

" The life of Brian"

I used to play them on this little TV machine

where the guard is a Cardinal.

On a day with some sunshine at a window
you can see
the shadow ( from paper cutout)
of a hawk.
This is there to scare the birds away
because if the fly into the window
they get killed
by breaking their delicat scall.
Learned it
while attending lectures
in a bird sanctuary.



A smal size picture
hand crafted
from textils.
A memory from Switzerland
where I bought it
showing Geneva's buildings.





This is a rather large size acrylic painting ( from me)
" THE SPIRIT OF THE SEAHORSE"
signed and copy righted.

looking for color

From the window you see just snow snow snow white....

Looking for color!

Yesterday it was in the mail:

a catalogue for Spring sale in bedding:

covers, blankets, all sheeting, towels etc.
There were

many many colors on the pages:

This is a quilt cover with all possible colors

for those who like

the busy quilting look

You can choose any color for your bathroom

from these towels

It's a mighty colorful bed.

I don't know

if it is relaxing

while you trying to rest?

For my taste

I prefer the calming effects

of the greens.

______________________________________

On a dark snowy day I just grabbed this catalogue

of a store, where I used to buy merchendise

for various needs in my

household.

I don't do this presentation for the store,

certainly no commercial activity

but quickly to find colorful things

it seemed to be handy.

It was so dark and was just snow everywhere,

I took a chance to take

pictures from this colorful catalogue.

But because of the very poor light

the photos are not the best.

flurries for today

I left the sketch book open when the news was talking about early morning flurries
at least I can see some Spring in the book I painted

Before the flurries came

the bird feeder was active:

couple of birds finding some left overs

while snowing

a squirrel came down from the tree

just to see how deep are the flurries?

this much snow came with the flurries

and now I have to wait till I can get out until the roads are passable.

Thanks to Mother Nature: the temp is rising above freezing!

Some art works: mostly paintings from my studio.

Just a few minutes to paint a hired model

There were a couple of studios I used to go painting. Professional models were hired for couple of hours for quick moving poses.

This painting is mixed media:

watercolor, ink and pastel.

An other style of bikini. I used to be also a fashion designer some time ago. :-)




On the Internet you know just takes a click and you can be anywhere in the world. As we freezing here on the East Coast of the USA, at the very same time on the other side of the Globe is wonderful summer
