Finally started to decorate my blue wall in the living room with all kind of photos, drawings and Peruvian souvenirs...every little thing with his own story...Just a first try...can become much better...but let's give it some time :)
...MY way to draw! Remember the photo I made some days ago. These are made with our new Canon EOS 550D, a wonderful thing to play with...but this little took my heart!
While drawing Balrog I made this picture...because the way to a result is even more important then the result itself no? While giving my lessons to the kids on the academy I'm always taking pictures while they are working and creating! That tells us so much about 'exploring'.
A friend did remind me on FB of our visit to this tomb of Cesar Vallejo on the cemetery of Montparnasse in Paris, almost 3 years ago! Me and my future husband travelled to Paris and promised our friend to leave some notes on the resting place of the Peruvian poet, a man who's mind and work mean a lot for him. I drewed this little portrait on my room in the hotel...and gave it a place on the tomb together with other little things that had a meaning. O gosh, three years already!!!
Very quick, last saturday-afternoon...on a little and quiet beach near St.Malo I made this little doodle. Not for the result but just for the feeling of sand gliding trough my fingers...while the wind blowed the ocean in my back :). This meaned finally some rest after a very busy time!
Finally, the farest point we went after St.Malo...to see this spectacular island named Mont St.Michel. Above two drawings of this place with a difference of 12 years. Was like 18 when I visited this for the first time and now I went back to show my husband this little dream...if you don't mind the crowd that's walking every day to this like floating island in the sea. After 12 years I saw many differences...much more people still go visiting it and walking in the main street is like no longer an easy job. But I still love the roofs and materials the house were build off! The good news may'be is that they will reorganize the whole site! No more parked cars close to it...so walk with those legs please...like we did some 2 km to reach it. Anyway, we enjoyed the view, took millions of pics but we were happy to turn our back on time...and going to spots without too many lazy tourists.
Light play a leading role while drawing...too much sun can be hard to draw. In my little room I prefer my unnatural light focused on the paper...and if I need some sunlight then I take a jump and go walking into the growing garden before turning back totally concentrated on growing drawings. :)
After a very cold winter I finally became 'one' again with my drawingroom...in wintertime I was drawing downstairs in the warmer places of the house. Darkness made my room so sad...
My little room with the black table and many little things around me with each one his own history
Somewhere in the south on a weekend-vacation in our guestroom (home at Stein and Katleen, very nice for a short-stay!)...late in the evening...drawing
