Spätsommer / Late summer

Die Königin von der Burg am Eisenbach

weilte kurz im Park von Eppenthorp. 

Dieses milde Licht... dieser Duft der Bäume und Erde... Es ist Spätsommer geworden! Kurzerhand wird in der Küche die Dekoration gewechselt: 

Die Muscheln und die Bilder von der See werden abgehängt und gegen die Obstteller ausgetauscht. 

 The Queen of the Castle at the Eisenbach 

lingered at the park of Eppenthorp. 

This mild light... this fragrance of trees and soil... It has become late summer! 

Suddenly the decoration of the kitchen is changed: 

The shells and the pictures from the seaside are taken down and exchanged against the fruits plates.

Abends 

wird die Szenerie durch das Licht der rosa Lampe (die die Königin im Galopp gefangen hatte) beschienen.

In the evening 

the scenery lamplit by the rose one (that the Queen has catched at a galopp).

Drawing Challenge #28: MONKEY

For this week's drawing challenge the theme is Monkey. First I miss a Monkey for turmoil, rumpus...

Than I find a book and some music of the Peters: The Woman and the Ape of Peter Høeg and Stadtaffe of Peter Fox.

 But than I recognize that my youngest child is born as a monkey in the chinese horoscope! She is a very friendly person who is doing little jokes and bring us laughters... 

The muse has kissed me: 

For my school beginner I draw a hornbook: 

'Aa wie Affe' means in English 'Mm like Monkey'.

I grounded a 24x30cm canvas with acrylic and draw with pastel colour. The monkey's rock is added with a photo of a heap of suitcases from the German Vogue.

 For more Monkeys get over to the Swedish Sock Festival of rocking Elisabeth!

Drawing/Art Challenge #27: METAMORPHOSIS

The Queen of the Castle at the Eisenbach
look out of the window and beheld a soughing flying swan. 

But... is it really a swan?

Maybe is it a woman who is coated in a plumage like the Swan Maiden... ?

Or is it the other way around and a woman take off her clothes and transmutes into a Swan like a Valkyrie which fly away from her husband after seven years of hymen...?

For this week's drawing challenge with Metamorphosis I chose to paint a swan. 

I've taken an 'old' canvas and paints it over with a remain of colour from my mom's last renovation... so its a kind of metamorphosis also...

Do you know the fairy from Hans Christian Andersen 'The Ugly Duckling'?  This fairy tells about the maturing process in a very lucid way.

Couples of swans are faithful and both takes care of their children... Tomorrow its 13 years ago that my husband and I said YES... and I've nothing on to fly away.

Marriage - or the art of metamorphosis together in everyday life.

This sweet drawing is from Irena Andersen, my lovely sis.
