Dear readers,

Today, another 30/30 cm painting! It’s the second layer on yesterday’s second painting. Hardly anything left of that layer! I painted with my new paintbrushes that I ordered yesterday.

Yesterday I was watching Flora Bowley’s free ‘Together Apart- virtual retreat’. There she mentioned the brand of the foam brushes that she always uses. It never was satisfied with the flimsy quality foam brush that they sell in art supplies stores over here. And I was right: the foambrush she uses is another (American) kind of brush. I’ve ordered them here: (interesting for anyone living in the Netherlands).I’m very happy with them, they’re a lot more sturdy than the ones I always used. They make better marks!

bye!

Dear readers,

Today I worked on a 30/30 cm piece of wallpaper. It’s so much fun to be in the flow again!

Yesterday I hit ‘buy’ for two shiploads of art supplies. (or so it seems to me – at least it was quite a bit of money that I spent ;-)). It will take a bit of time – since everything takes a long time at this moment. But soon, I will be able to do my bit of ‘unboxing’, too!

At this moment I’m inspired by Flora Bowley’s ‘Together-Apart’ virtual meetings on the internet. I think it’s great that she offers these free virtual inspiration-sessions. A marvellous way to do something good in these confusing times.

I’m so grateful for being in the flow again. It definitely has to do with the quarantaine. There is less of the usual hustle and bustle, so more time for diving into the creative process. So I’m glad at least something good comes out of this time of worldwide upheaval.

bye!

Dear readers,

Slowly, I’m starting to paint a big bigger again. This one is on wallpaper again, 30/30 cm (12x12 inch).

I really love it!

bye!

Dear readers,

Today I made again three small paintings (A5 more or less), and this time I saw yellow popping up in the third one. Yes! I like that!

bye!

Simone

ps: below I put a video of the journal that I’m working in. You have to watch the video with your head turned… I can’t get it straight…
