Flow here I go......

Het komt vast door het zonnetje,
ik ben zo actief, zo in de flow,
gisteren 7 kleine werkjes gemaakt en nu ben ik alweer bezig. Ik kan gewoon niet stoppen, zit barstensvol ideetjes en heb er gewoon zin. Nog steeds in pyjama(nu al voor de derde dag op een rij) freubel ik mij een weg door mijn inspiratie heen. NU is vorige week begonnen en is er nog steeds....voel me vrij en fris en  en en en....
Zie hier het resultaat, ik ga er verder geen woorden meer aan vuil maken ;-)

En nu op de werktafel om vandaag afgemaakt te worden...ik heb er zin in!!!!!!.~

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

"Maiden" by Bibje

"Spread your wings..." by Bibje

In progress....








Had a quiet weekend. The kids were with their dad. I had every opportunity to paint, and so I did! I finnished the "Maiden" and "Spread your wings" and started to paint on another very old painting.
I am re-painting a lot of my older works wich did not sell and which I think are not quite that good.They were a bit bland. Most of that work is on 220/300 grams aquarell paper. They are challenging because they are already painted on. I use these images for the next painting, at least that is what I intent to do. The latest painting I used and painted over and than washed it off again and painted it over...and now it looks sort of familiar but has changed a lot. Mabey I wash it all of again,or part of it, because I am not overly content with it. The beauty is that with all the washing it gets a worn look. I like that. I love the look of worn, faded, old and blurred. And still show the beauty ....

And again I have blurry pictures...I will replace them when I have made new 'non-blurry' ones. But for now, they will do to satisfy the curiosity :-)
