26th - 30th of April

Sorry about that! I went on holidays and with all that was to organise, it was impossible to do all. But I finally finished!

26th of April, Picasso-esque. Watercolour and Pitt pen.

27th of April, Landscape. Watercolour and aquarelle graphite. A town called Pierre Buffiere, a town we stopped for a break, on our way down to the Dordogne. 

 Below is, 28th of April, Boat, watercolour and aquarelle crayons. One of the boys wooden boats.

Above is, 29th of April, Klimt-like. Watercolour and "Posca" pens. I was lucky that a "Klimt" documentary was on the TV, just as I started this one.

Below the Klimt is, 30th of April, Free choice. Watercolour and "Uni-ball" pen. We went to the South-West of France, to the Dordogne region. Our mission was to see Lascaux II. This picture was from "Le Thot", which is Lascaux III, one of the bulls.

 Here is a link, to my other blog, where there are photos from "Le Thot"...

24th & 25th of April.

24th of April, Ambiguity. Watercolour and aquarelle crayons. Okay, this one is a bit of a fizzer, I've had a big week and didn't have the energy to make a wonderful artwork...

25th of April, Chaos. Watercolour and aquarelle crayons. Almost the energy and chaos of the week.

22nd & 23rd of April.

22nd of April, Metaphor. Watercolour and collage. My nanna said this when I put too much food on my plate, thinking that I might eat all of it, "Your eyes are too big for your belly". But of course I couldn't eat it all. On the weekend I visited Paris, at the Musée d'art moderne and saw the Linder exhibition. Her work was very inspiring.  http://www.mam.paris.fr/en/expositions/linder

23rd of April, Dream. Watercolour and Pitt artist pen. I dreamt that I was in Australia visiting my parents, when there were snakes and scorpions everywhere. One bit my son Max, and he died, of course I woke up just at that point. I also had been reading a book with my other son Alex, called "Zékéyé et le Serpent Python", by Nathalie Dieterlé. So here is the illustration from the book. (let me tell you, the snake doesn't make it!)
