Dear reader,   After maybe three or more months of intensive writing (and finishing!) my book I'm back again to (hopefully daily) painting! A bit strangely though - I haven't touched any paint for weeks and weeks! Didn't like the first result that much: I started...

Dear reader,   Today it's Saturday, and I paint! I am so out of my rhythm of daily painting, that I'm now painting on the weekends, in stead of in the workweek. I hope to publish my book soon, so I can get back to a regular practice. But for today, it was fun to...

Dear reader, I'm searching for bits and pieces of time to keep my art inspiration alive. Today I took a quarter of an hour to make a collage of an old painting. It is not very sophisticated, but still, I was able to add a little bit of visual inspiration to my...

Dear reader, I'm trying to get into my painting routine, but it's not easy since I'm writing a book at the same time. I'm still looking for cues how I can get my daily routine back. Bye!Simone(ps: this is another painting-diary try-out).

Dear reader, Under my desk, I keep a big drawer with old paintings, and scraps of painted paper that still have beautiful reusable pieces on them. Today I didn't have time to paint, but I wanted to make something, so I opened this drawer, and: yes! This was what came...

Dear reader,   Today I wrestled a bit with this one, but what I like about all this painting experience that I have 'under my belt' so to speak, is that I just keep going, until something acceptable shows up. It doesn't have to be great. But even if I would paint...

Dear reader, Today another painting in my art diary.I have painted a lot of paintings using the principle of 'negative space'. Making colorful paintings, and then covering up a lot of it. The pieces that are not covered  'pop up' more - because the rest of it is...
