Autumn is here
Autumn is here. Today it´s cold and windy – no, make that stormy what with wind forces up around 5 and 6 – and the tip of my nose resisted warming up no matter how many cups of hot tea I drank whilst painting this little water color of a tree this morning. The treesContinue reading “Autumn is here”

And because I really love elephants and couldn’t stop after just one water color, I had to paint a second one. 🙂 Most of us only get to see elephants in zoos and/or documentaries, and some of us, like me, might dream toContinue reading “Elephant Appreciation Day”

With a length of about 100Continue reading “Hyacinth Macaw”

Pulled From The Archives: In Love With Polar Bears
Here comes another post pulled from my archives! It contains of a surprise birthday gift I made for my mum two years ago: a painting of her favorite animals – polar bears.
