Zitat am Sonntag- Sally Field

📏 📐 Hello sisters! The most shocking thing about when I entered the Faculty of Fine Arts was the usual practice of drawing and painting in large formats hanging on the wall, as Susanne does.

Susanne Haun

“Das Leben ist wie eine Pralinenschachtel. Man weiß nie, was drin ist.“

Sally Field, *1956, amerikanische Schauspieler, Producer, Sprecher, Regisseur

Arbeit an dem Gemälde Die Lebensstufen der Frau von 2006 (c) Foto von Susanne Haun

Mit dem legendären Satz aus „Forrest Gump“ (1994) schrieb sich die zweifache Oscar-Preisträgerin Sally Field endgültig in die Filmgeschichte ein.

Diesen so bekannten Film habe ich einen Tag vor der Geburt meines Sohnes im Kino gesehen, danach habe ich mich nie wieder aufraffen können, diese schwere Kost nochmals zu sehen.

Das heutige Zitat jedoch habe ich nie vergessen. Ich finde, das Foto von mir von 2006 bei der Arbeit an den Lebensstufen der Frau begleitet Sally Fields Worte sehr gut. Es ist erstaunlich, was nach 2006 alles in meinem Leben passierte. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich in diesen 13 Jahren mehr erlebte als in den 41 Jahren davor! Was für eine Pralinenschachtel!

💁WELL DEARS! AN EXPRESSIVE PORTRAIT IS ALWAYS SOMETHING MIGHTFUL.

drawing faces

I want to spend more time on my portraits and, in particular, try to draw at least some portraits that include more than just a face. So here is a little more of Kaelin than just her face.

I painted this in my Laloran sketchbook with Zecchi Toscana watercolours and finished it with Prismacolor coloured pencils.

No podcasts lately but I have been creating

WELL BEAUTIES! I ADORE JOURNALS AND TONYA IS A GREAT ARTIST.

cheekiemunkie

I had a podcast all recorded and ready to be edited just before Christmas 2018. While I began editing I noticed that the video and audio were out of sync. Thinking this should be an easy fix I didn’t worry until 2 days later and no results and I was set to begin Christmas Vacation. So I didn’t record again.

Not that I won’t be posting videos again, but I want to want to record. Podcasting is fun for me. It is no more than me sharing with you my knitting life and and a bit tangential to that world.

I’ve definitely been in a funk this past winter. That’s very unusual for me. I typically get inspired the most during the cold days of winter. I love the light in winter. My eyes are very light sensitive so the lower sun in the sky helps. It is getting…

🌿💚 WELL LOVELIES, “GREEN” ABSTRACTION IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL

skalabara quilts

Well, hello everyone! It has been some time since my last post. This late summer and autumn, I took time off from sewing and patchwork, but enjoyed reading instead. I have found some great books and couldn’t stop reading them. I was a very regular customer in the wonderful bookstores in the city center of Prague. Not only did I get books in my native language Czech but also in German and English.

Autumn has arrived and let the outdoor temperatures drop. And I have finally finished piecing the rest of the Summer Sampler 2019 blocks. I could check my skills in different piecing techniques. Accurate cutting and piecing. Improvisational piecing, sewing curves, foundation paper piecing, hexagons, flying geese, half rectangle blocks.

So, here the last batch of photos before I start piecing the quilt top. Summer Sampler 2019 blocks #14 – #21 :

Painting: Poem

WELL DEARS! TODAY WE’VE GOT A POEM WITH ITS COLOURS. ENJOY!

stumble upon serendipity

An art brush drips inside of me

Throbbing, kicking wildly

Lettering a tragicomedy-

Brazen strokes vibrant of

ecstasy, sorrow and madness

bleeding in –

Red Green Blue

throw themselves

against the receptive canvas

I live loudly

My single redeeming attribute

I hold nothing back-

When you ask to witness

the spells of a fiery sketch

Don’t be bewildered

if I confess –

All my paintings

breathe

inside of me

Mira Dancy and her all-female universe

🎨💜✊WELL SISTERS! OUR POWER MUST KEEP GROWING.

If you’re not familiar with Women in Art, it’s a series here on The Art Stories that highlights the valuable contribution of women in art. Gender biases have been an ongoing obstacle for women trying to make it in the art world for centuries. Their works were not attributed to them; more often than not, they remained anonymous, especially those produced during the Renaissance. Women were not accepted in Art Schools which were are until now a male-dominated space. The first woman to ever get accepted in the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, two groups of artists in France, was Suzanne Valadon in 1894. The female presence has been steadily growing from the 19th century onwards but statistics show that we have a long way to go. To this day, out of 10,000 artists featured in permanent exhibitions in the US museums, 87% are male and 85% are white. The 8th…

Madness with love x

🏠 🎄 WELL BEAUTIES, WE CAN LEARN FROM KATE’S WORKS. LET’S BUILD OUR OWN OBJECTS FOR THESE SPECIAL DAYS.

Maison Bentley Style

A fusion made in heaven: Tall candlesticks – already an object of desire because of their perfect balance of functionality with beauty – now upgraded to lust level with whimsy, madness and imagination.  Apparently these lovelies were originally from Anthropologie, and – apologies – are both unavailable and required deep pockets (I saw them priced at $395 each). But their joy is the love they continue to radiate in inspiration, because when should price stop anyone?

I particularly love this pic, and can only doff my hat to the skillful drilling it must’ve entailed. Muchus Kudos.

Quite a few examples have used glass: I have no idea what kind of glue they used, or how long the bonds would last, but how appealing for a Christmas table…

(All pics Pinterest)

And then there’s this little beauty, a hybrid of many things, including a brutal yet fanciful version of Japanese…
