Mom with Baby - Ink Drawing in my Moleskine Notebook
For those who already can see the Spring arrive with pink blossoms: It’s still Winter here.
Mothers still have to bundle up their babies, so that they stay warm and cozy. Which is why they often look to me like cute little Panda Bears:)
I’m caught up with preparations for the upcoming collective show here in Paris, (for more information about this please go to my Facebook fan page, you can find the link in the left side bar, just click on the Eiffeltower) - at the same time I’m busy with the design of a new website, and with updating the administrative part of my job as an artist. So there is not much time left to focus on my new painting, ……but I can always share my sketchbook with you! I grateful for having these occasions to just sit and draw, thanks to my daily Metro-trips…
What do you see on your trips to town? Do you take a notebook with you and do you have the occasion to draw or doodle?
Andrea, this is the dearest drawing of the mother and her baby! Those baby carriers are the greatest and perfect for the metro, too. Awe! You captured them so well!
I have been going to the Seiziem’Art blog from time to time. Things are truly moving along nicely. What a great opportunity for you to work with these people and to have this exhibition.
Oh, and to move forward with a new web site. While I don’t upload things to mine, just keeping up with the writing and photography is enough! I wish you the very best with that.
I can completely understand how your sketching keeps you connected. I tend to doodle a lot when I am in this kind of mode…it is the kind of doodling which only makes a lot of sense to me, though!
That is okay, too!
Thanks so much for updating everyone! You are one very busy woman!
Kim, well I have some doodles in my sketchbook with only make a lot of sense to me too, and so they are censored:):)
Ah sweet memories of carrying my daughter in a baby carrier 40+ years ago!
Love this drawing. And yes, a luxery you have to draw on the Metro. I drive myself to work a short distance so no, no way to draw on that route.
Has it become easier to be free doing this?
I would think in Paris it is almost expected, artists drawing all over the place. Yes?
Wishing all the best on another exhibition of your wonderful works.
Lynn, well in fact you can see artists drawing, but often in places where tourists go, of course, because the views are so great. In the metro I never saw anyone draw, except on TV once when they show someone like me, painting mini portraits of people in the metro! He did it in watercolor and on metrotickets, very original! But as he takes another metro line than mine, dayout dayin, I never saw/see him.
I LOVE this drawing. cute panda baby ..or eskimo baby all bundled up.:)) I see lots of things on way to town but no time to draw in a car. Its a blurr anyway. lol
Much success on your art showing. Thanks for keeping in touch with us with your drawings. We love them.
Oh Cris, no, it’s not advised to draw in your car:) But you have such a nice view on nature at home:)

Klaproos, it’s not cold anymore, people are on holiday skiing right now but here in Paris it’s mild!
You keep us all motivated with your glorious sketches. We will all have our sketchbooks out thinking that ‘If Andrea can so can I’
We want to see pictures of your exposition work too.
Cheers,
Erin
Erin, I’m so grateful if I can motivate other like others motivate me!
Little pandabears must be kept warm.
Keep yourself warm Andrea.
XXXm
Martine, yes I do and today it’s mild, the birds were up and singing at 5 this morning:)
I love the idea of you and this mysterious man drawing and painting on the Metro. I see a news flash here. This baby is so sweet and already getting the Metro rhythm in his veins. And I adore the idea of this man painting on the Metro tickets.
Suki, yes those watercolor portraits on the metro tickets were pretty amazing. He has manufacture himself a tiny little watercolor box:) Perhaps I should have a look on the net to see whether I kind find some information about this…
