My Father’s Garden – Ink, Oil on paper (Canson 250 mg,24 x 32 cm)
There I sat, in the Garden, with 35 degrees (in the shadow), ink stains on my hands, the wonderful smell of oil color and turpentine oil, the light was intense and so the sketch turned out very intense too. Back in Paris now, where I visited two exhibitions yesterday, more about that in the next post.
Da sass ich im Garten, bei 35 Grad im Schatten, Tintenflecke auf den Händen. Ich liebe den Geruch von Terpentinöl und Ölfarbe. Das Licht war so intensiv, deshalb diese tiefen Farben hier. Jetzt bin ich wieder zurück in Paris, da gibts andere Sachen zu malen. Gestern war ich in zwei Ausstellungen, skizzieren, schauen, staunen. Davon mehr im nächsten Post. Tschüss:)
Beautifully done, it draws me in to sit and see and smell the aromas of the lovely flowers…Very very pretty.
hello Lynn, thank you , the roses there smell sooooo goood!
ah, i would love to sit in this beautiful garden. your painting style is elegant. i hope you had a lovely time in germany.
Dear Suki, thanks for popping in, I had a very good time because I was able to help my parents with some things, which made them happy and me too! The time spent in the garden gave me strength and energy!
This is truly beautiful! Your father is an amazing gardener and you are an amazing painter. It seems as though artistic ability runs in the family
I love these colors and the composition is fabulous! Quite Beautiful! Peace, Kim
Kim thank you for your comment, and yes, he really has a way with his garden, he let the plants grow and not look so controlled, just “supported”, which I really love.
I remember your fathers garden from previous posts – it’s so beautiful as is your painting. lovely to see you
Hi Mim, so nice to read you here! This garden is always my main inspiration when I’m there, in spring, summer and autumn. In winter, I let it slepp:)
Do you still get to go as long to visit your Parents these days? or do you just go more often for shorter periods of time. I bet your Cat misses the Garden. What a lovely interpretation of their Garden. Its very lush and inviting. I saw this and meant to come sooner to comment but we are so busy critter sitting a lot these days and if not doing that we are working in our garden. Summer time is for being outside. Time enough to be stuck inside when winter comes.
Dear Cris, Thanks for coming, I know how it is in Summer, sure you have to be outside!:) Now I go more often for shorter periods to see my parents, and as I don’t have a car, can’t take the cats. Oskar sure misses it, but what can you do. Knut has never seen it, so he doesn”t know what to miss:) He likes to sit at the open window in my flat and look at what is going on outside!:)
