dc #130: HAIR

Heaven, this light!

Let's go to the seaside!

With  hair  in my mind everything turns into flowing movement.

I've inherit the hair structure (fine) and colour (dishwater blonde with a touch of red) of my Grandmother Elisabeth (downright with my flaxen-haired Mother). Not happy with that I gave my hair a bleach it in my twenties, coloured it from flaxen-haired over red to nearly black and back, sometimes all this colours together (and once only permed... Yikes!), parade it short and flashy, next long, with a stern bun (relaxed with a boutonnière, a rose of course). But then, year before last: my hair was breaking off, hair loss.. something with the hormones? Scourge! (at this time my friend loss her hair from chemo, but she won!)
I cut it. It recovered. Now I wear it shoulder-length, natural with silver wisps.

For this dc my eldest daughter pose and I sketch the drawing with red chalk on paper:
hair  is the theme of dearest Nadeschda of woolfenbell.

For more hairdo please come to her woolfenbell hair salon ;-)

Happy weekend full of light!

Chanel, Lagerfeld, Feuerbach

Mit meiner Freundin Azalee zu Coco Chanel in das MK&G. 
Vor lauter Verboten (Fotografieren, Berühren) will sich mir hier der Mythos nicht erschließen (Ich liebe ihren Stil, ihre Mode!)... außerdem gibt es noch nicht einmal das Plakat zu kaufen.

With my friend Azalee to Coco Chanel into the Museum. 
Faced with many bans (photograph, touch) the myth do not wants revealed to me here
(I love her style, her fashion!)... besides even the poster is not to buy.

On to the Hamburger Kunsthalle... searching for

Feuerbach and Lagerfeld

Musen/Modelle der Antike gedruckt auf goldenes und silbernes Leinen und auf Büttenpapier (und Vogelgezwitscher aus Lautsprechern bei Lagerfelds 'Moderne Mythologie', klasse!)

Muses/models of the ancient world printed on gold and silver linen and laid paper
(and twittering of birds from loudspeakers at Lagerfeld's 'Modern Myth', great!)

und in Liebe gemalt

and painted with love

Sehnsucht (Unnahbarkeit) und unerfüllte Liebe auf beiden Seiten

Desire (aloofness) and unfulfilled love on both sides

Eben geht die Sonne unter und ich habe Lust, einen Film zu sehen:

Just the sun sets and I have a mind to watch a movie:

'Coco & Igor'


PS will come to your vases soon. Have you seen her* hair?

dc #129: VASE

At home in the Castle at the Eisenbach are always flowers...
and many vases to put them into and feed them with fresh water.

Bouquet of the Youngest

I portray them with flowers and blossoming branches

and without. 

The day passes very quickly as I 
gaze at my vases like a chess player. Put them carefully in position to each other... considering form and surface structure, size, material and colour and personality

I start to draw with pencil and crayon, later I take watercolour and

at last a clippers.

Somehow this all reminds me on the Italian artist: Giorgio Morandi.

Find Morandi in a Décoration Internationale 
from Juin 1985 photographed by Jean-Michel Folon... (happy that I didn't trash it :)

The theme of this week's drawing challenge No. 129 is vase. You will find more vases at the marvellous places of: 

Roberto, Carole, Kristen, Nadine, Susan, Patrice, Barbara,
Celine and Renilde

;-)

Thank you for playing. I wish you a prosperous weekend! Happy New Moon!
