Don't think pink


Don't think pink, originally uploaded by Sparks2005.

Sometimes it's hard not to think of...

I had the same ideas coming back again and again. It made me think of prompt ' do not think of pink elephants' ...and there they were ;-)

IF-Clean


Sometimes I dream of my mister Magic...
When will he appear in my home?
And when he's here, how should I call him? MrClean? MrProper?
I'm sure I will say 'thank you' ;-)

Watercolor with iridescent medium, so it looks realy sparkling.
I enjoyed working with the masking fluid and the medium.

Icebear & ice cream


More ice cream...
and wish I could be on the Northpole

Lyrics from a German song
"Ich möchte ein eisbär sein im kalten polar..."

inspiration for a refreshing page in my Moleskine.

Button box


While reading some blogs I saw 'not being the brightest of the button box'. I didn't know this expression. It inspired me to make this journal entry.

EDM #77 Draw something cold



Nice challenge.
I think I'm going to draw some more...if the weather stays as hot as it is now.

It's a thin line between love and hate


Just playing with cheap watercolors and cheap paper...

Old lady




















I'm reading 'In the name of friendship', the newest book from Marylin French. The writer pictures the friendship of four women and chapter by chapter she reveals the history of these women. Somehow the theme 'sacrifice' is popping up again. And I made another attempt picturing the old lady.

Sacrifice




She sacrificed a lot...

Skyline




It's early evening. The cloudless sky is transmuting from royal blue to a deep violet, with some fire-orange. Memories from a stunning skyline in the Bekaa-valley near Beirut.

Sticky



























Sticky
The well known sticky notes came immediatly to my mind...
I was thinking about other sticky things, feelings. The coloured noteblocks, the brainstorming tool, stayed top of mind.
And it's now the subject of this quick sketch in my Moleskine.
I used some new tools: watercolouting cayons Aquash from Pentel.
It's quite fun to work this way.

Rain



Reflections & raindrops on asphalt
Strange feeling to work on 'rain' when it's hot and the sun is shining.

Jungle as an explosion of colors
