Mit Barbara zu Louis Gurlitt

Im mikkels haben Barbara und ich uns auf ein paar Leckereien getroffen, 

um dann ins Jenischhaus zu fahren und die Ausstellung von dem Deutschen Maler

 Louis Gurlitt anzusehen.

At the mikkels Barbara and I has met for some dainties, eventually to move to the Jenischhouse to watch the German Painter Louis Gurlitt in a exhibit.

Vorbei auch an Mammutbäumen... Past even at Sequoia...

Drinnen Himmlisches... Inside heavenly...

in Öl... in oil...

mit Bleistift... with lead pencil...

und schönes Unfertiges... and beautiful unfinished...

 

  ... und draussen Ginkgofrüchte, die wir erst eifrig aufsammeln, dann aber naserümpfend wieder wegwerfen, weil sie stinken! Barbara nennt sie 'Stink-go' ;)

 ... and outside fruits of Ginkgo tree, that we first avid collects, but next sniffish dumps away because they are stinking! Barbara names them 'stink-go' ;)

 Andere Zeichnungen auf Plakaten an Straßenwänden inspirieren auch.

Other drawings at posters on walls at the street are inspiring, too.

'Little Red Riding Hood' is coming soon. Stay tuned.

Bleiernes Licht

Bleiernes Licht liegt über Hamburg... und es gibt immer wieder Lichtblicke:
- die Jüngste ist fieberfrei

 - Meine Kollegin Lady Kate hat mir heute hübschen Adventsschmuck geschenkt, den ich Euch gern bald zeigen werde...

Leady light lays over Hamburg... and there are again and again bright spots:
- the youngest is free from fever

- my workmate Lady Kate has presented to me lovely Advent decoration which I'll show you soon...

- schöne Plakate von mir unbekannten Bands

- pretty posters of stranger bands to me

Oh, und dieses ist mein 400. Post!

Oh, and these is my 400th post!

Montagvormittag, Zuhause

Unsere jüngste Prinzessin schläft sich gesund, während die Königin der Burg am Eisenbach durch die Gemächer streift und von dort oben nach draussen in die Welt blickt.

Our youngest Princess is sleeping for health during the Queen of the Castle at the Eisenbach  ranges through the rooms and from up there she takes a glimpses into the world.

Hier ist es gerade sehr still... fast unwirklich.

Here it is very quiet... kind of surreal.

Wish you a happy Monday!

dc HABIT

I was in a cold sweat and sweat blood in nightmares

 Fear of pursuit, attack on my children that I couldn't guard... bad dreams

Of slavery

condamned to wear a habit of a pseudo religion

have to be a suggorate mother

 as many women.

 During reading the fantastic book 'The Handmaid's Tale' written by Margaret Atwood in 1985, I am even imbued with big gratefulness for my freedom... for having habits like making art and do blogging. Using the example of Gisèle D'Ailly shows how important and essential for survive art can be: in World War II she cached youths in occupied Netherlands in her own home. During the time of couldn't get outside they made art and poems together inside.

Dear Kristen choose the theme habit. Please take a look at her vived blog. You will find there more particpants of this weekly dc, too. I verge on the theme habit in different ways.

   

That book is only a story, thank God... to me. Other people in this world are not so lucky right know.

Wish Peace, Freedom and Love to you all.

Nebellicht / Foggy light

Das Licht war so schön heute morgen... Sehnsucht nach Wald kam auf...

The light was very beautiful this morning... longing for woods got up...

 

Doch der Wald muss warten. 
Später...

But the woods have to wait.
Later...

hat der Nebel sich verzogen. Im Hintergrund hier zwischen den Märchenschiffen sieht man (auch) die S-Bahnbrücke. Von dort aus fotografiere ich häufig in Richtung Jungfernstieg. 
Es ist eine liebe Gewohnheit.

 the fog has cleared away. In the background here between the farytale ships 
you can see the bridge (even) for trains. From that point I often take pictures 
in direction of the Jungfernstieg. 
Its a nice habit.

 Looking for the dc this weekend: HABIT with dear  Kristen !
