Floating on blue

 I woke up at 6am with this image in my head.

Sleep was far away, I had to take my drawingpaper, pencils and watercolors.

Here is that image.She floats in a jungle and meanwhile in her body life is growing. Never could imagine what it is to be pregnant. Must be one of the journeys most spectacular in a life!
Although I feel so lucky, there are moments I get scared, not knowing what will happen with this body, how it will react on that crucial moment of birth. I have to trust in this gift, my body and relax above all!

I can enjoy of this wonder all summer long and I hope the little creatures in my womb want to live some months more in the most cosy home of the world!

Becoming 'momma'

Dear friends,

as you can see life gave my this special gift for the next months.

We are expecting new life and even more special, there are growing two little angels inside of me!

I'm almost 5 months far into this adventure and finally I can return to my old behaviours...like drawing.

I didn't suffer any awful morning, my body is doing very well, but my mind just cannot stop wondering, thinking, dreaming about that new future.

It feels good to return to paper and pencils. A long summer is waiting for me to enjoy the growing belly and to turn this all in new drawings.

The babies will present themself somewhere in october ;)

Wish you an overwhelming weekend!

Fern & tales

This drawing is born into the forest where I go often to wander around, to dream, to be away a while from reality may'be. Just heard on the radio that the badger population here is growing...
It seemed a perfect friend to me to complete this drawing.
I guess they are having a lovely afternoon together, like I did yesterday, drawing them.

Home is...

Since some weeks she is trying to hold all those memories, to keep them very close, to feel them every moment of the day. She is craving to everything that is far away at this moment. She wanted that she brought with her a little piece of Andes to keep and to care. It would be her treasure with all the memories in it. Not just cold granite.

'Home is where the mountain is' she whispered and she felt home.

Sciurus ever after

Found her on the way back home this morning...couldn't resist to leave her on that cold road.

She's resting in the garden...ever after...but not happily.

She appeared all of a sudden while walking and chatting with her friend in the streets of Urubamba.

Every day from now on I present you a sunprint I made last summer in Perú.

There was already a little exhibition for them but never published my girls on the net for a bigger public.
 So here they are! A 'cholita' a day keeps the nostalgia away.

Packing and leaving

The birds are packing and leaving...I'm staying and waiting for the dark winter and a hot chocolate.

Space is were we belong

 

After more then 3 months I guess I returned to my drawing table and  that feels so good!

It was a very hard time, there wasn't yet a spring, the world was like turning in the other direction...I said farewell to my grandfather, he is now somewhere....not to far from us I think. While drawing this there was that song on the radio of Absynthe Minded, a belgian group, 'Space is were we belong'. That makes me thinking that even the dead isn't that worse. Life is good and so this drawing to finish a long period of pain, tears and awfull thoughts.
I'm gratefull for this life and I want to give you these words that I founded through Pinterest :
On the other side of fear lies freedom.
Enjoy this week, your days, this life!
