Detail "Canary and chinese teapot"

This little birdy is a beloved companion, so cute and canty. He fills my heart and home with so much joy everyday. Have you seen? I´ve done a figurative painting, huh, doesn´t happen so often!
**
Este pequeño pajarito es un querido compañero, adorable y vivaz. Llena mi corazón y casa de alegría cada día. ¿Habéis visto? He pintado algo figurativo, vaya, ¡es poco habitual en mí!

a male nude portrait

A clipping of a male nude portrait in acrylics on paper, DIN A4, painted back in march 2008.
 I still like this painting very much, because of the alikeness I wangled and the atmosphere that reflects the moment the painting was created. Of course a very private moment, but I think the calm and aesthetics of this image is worth to be shared.

Recorte de un desnudo masculino en acrílico sobre papel, DIN A4, pintado en marzo 2008.
Todavía me gusta mucho este cuadro. Creo que conseguí en él un fuerta parecido con la persona retratada y con el ambiente del momento en el que fue creado. Por supuesto un momento muy intimista, pero creo que el sosiego y la estética de la imagen son dignos de ser compartidos.

Valentin

This is Valentin, the little baby boy of my sister, born 10th of June 2011. He´s so very cute!

cultivate - cultivar - kultivieren

It is important to c u l t i v a t e good thoughts and nourish your spirit. The more the better. So that ominous black clouds have no chance to invade your brain. Let the sunshine in!

Little painting/collage with watercolours and inkpen for Illustration Friday.

Es importante de c u l t i v a r buenos pensamientos, alimentar el espíritu. Cuánto más, mejor. Para que las amenazantes nubes negras no te invaden la cabeza. ¡Déja que entre la luz!

Pequeña pintura/collage con acuarelas y lápiz de tinta para Illustration Friday.

Reverse - el reverso - die Kehrseite

Isn´t the reverse part of both women and men a very attractive and special one? Particularly because we can´t look at ourselves like this, it is reserved for others to see our b-side.

This is a rough watercolour study of a live drawing session with 5 minutes poses. I am really clumsy at this, as it was the first time in ages that I went to life drawing. Later I pimped the drawing up with colour pencil.

**

¿No crees que el revés de las mujeres y de los hombres es especialmente atractivo e interesante? Sobre todo por que nosotros mismos no podemos mirarnos desde este punto de vista, está reservado a otros de ver nuestro reverso.

Hice este pequeño boceto de acuarela antes de ayer en una sesion de dibujo con modelo, eran poses de 5 minutos. Estoy siendo verdaderamente torpe con estos ahora, ya que hace siglos que no he ido allí. Dibujé después encima con lápices de colores, lo que hace el dibujo más vivo.

Savour

She is having a wonderful evening and is just savouring every moment of it!

This pale lady (maybe somehow a modern Snow White??) is my (last minute!) submission for this week´s Illustration Friday topic.

I used pencil, watercolours and acrylics.

Sneaky

In the middle of the night, the sneaky old witch sneaks away and is hopefully never seen again...

For Illustration Friday´s topic "Sneaky" I took the dark meaning of sneaky, for I dread to be quite blah these days.

Spooky

Spooky is this week´s Illustration Friday topic. I am not a native english speaker and the word "spooky" sounds cute to me, so that first I was thinking of likeable ghosts.

But finally this sinister coachman came up - I don´t know why and from where...but here he is and I find him really intimidating!

I used watercolour and charcoal.

Transportation

I got up a little earlier this morning in order to do this little painting for this week´s Illustration Friday topic "Transportation" - really last minute!

Thinking of the topic this was one of the first three ideas that came in my mind. Don´t you think that a flying carpet is just one of the fastest and ecological means of transportation ever? Just step on, say your destination and shoooooommmm....I think I need this to arrive on time!
