I spy with my little eye

Do you remember when we play the good old game:

I spy with my little eye :)

I thought on that, when I saw the lil cat emerge, who looks behind the girl in the sky...

then I thought:

even if we all have eyes, we all see different things when we look at the same scene,

don´t we?!

hear, smell and  feel different

even if we are the same situation :) 

...so when there was a million different feelings about the same thing....

maybe there is a chance to choose feeling I have about it?!

OMG it is really difficult for me to share my thought in another language than german ;)

hope you can follow my crazy mind :)

If so or if not, maybe you will follow my brushstrokes in this lil painting

"I spy with my little eye"

EBAY

Some weeks ago we visit a friend of mine,

who have a big print of this wonderful lighthouse in St. Peter Ording in his living room

I immediatelly was inspired to paint it 

try to stay loose, but that is not always easy ;)

I found it very challenging to paint landscapes and buildings...so I take part in the montly challenge 

from 

Art Journal Journey

and in the end I felt in love with the little sheeps with its black legs, hehe

"St- Peter- Ording"

A little sneak peak in my art-journal....

this sketch I did some time ago, but today I found it by looking in my journal and it speaks to me, 

so I choose  to share her with you

wish you an artsy friday

and a wonderful week

♥♥♥

Ich bin ein Schmetterling

wen wunderts, schaut Euch nur meine Kunst an...

I am a butterfly....but oh what a surprise...when you look at my art...

mal bin ich hier, dann fliege ich da hin....dann wieder hierherüber....denn ich fühle mich überall wohl...

sometimes I am here, then I fly to the left ...and then to the right...because I feel comftable everywhere...

diesmal teile ich mit Euch wieder ein kleines Video

this time I share again a little vid

und die dazugehörigen Bilder

and the pictures which comes along with it

es ist klein aber fein

it is mini, but smart

und hier könnt Ihr meinen nächsten Versuch sehen, nach 20 Minuten wirklich den Pinsel niederzulegen

and here you can see my next try to lay my pencil down after 20 minutes

es ist nicht einfach, aber versucht es doch mal

it is not easy, but give it a try 

es macht wirklich sooo viel Spass :)

it is so much fun :)

und wenn Ihr es tut, warum teilt Ihr dann nicht Eure Bilder bei der 20 minuten Challenge auf The Trodden Path

and if you do, why share your work at  the "20 minute painting challenge" on the trodden path?!

Alles was wir brauchen ist Liebe

...und ist nicht Liebe auch  Aufmerksamkeit....

...and isn´t love attention...

die wir verschenken ?

that we share too?

"Kleiner Freund" (little friend)

und deshalb ist 

and because of that

alles was wir brauchen

all we need is

Liebe..naja und vielleicht auch ein bischen Wasser und Erde und Essen und Sonne und Wind und Wärme..;) 

love...and maybe a little bit of water and soil and food and sun and wind and warmth....;)

"All we need is love"

"Man sieht nur mit dem Herzen gut,

"It is only with the heart

Das Wesentliche

that one can see rightly; what is essential

ist für die Augen unsichtbar"  (Antoine de Ste. Exupéry)

is invisible to the eye"

"Evanescence Beauty"

and quickly painted them orange for MOM

...so mein Vorsatz für die Woche: 

allen Menschen und Dingen mit einfach ein bischen 

mehr Aufmerksamkeit schenken

♥♥♥

A wallflower with a mountain view

Ich bin absolut inspiriert von Jane´s 20-Minuten-Gemälden auf "The Trodden Path"

I was inspired by The Trodden Path and Jane´s 20 minute paintings

und so habe ich dieses kleine Mauerblümchen gemalt ;)

and painted this little wallflower ;)

Ich habe ein ganz kleines bischen geschummelt und hatte unglaublich viel Spass beim malen

I have cheated  a tiny little bit and it was totally fun

"wallflower"

Priscilla Ahn - Wallflower

Collage und Gemälde in ganz losen Stil

Here I collaged and painted very loose

Ich liebe es, in der Natur Zeit zu verbringen

I love beeing in nature

und auf die höchsten Berge zu steigen

and climb on the highest mountains

wo der Wind weht und man den gesamten Horizont sehen kann

where the wind blows and you can see the whole horizon

"Höchste Berge"

link it to Art Journal Journey with its montly theme

"The Landscape within me"

und hier noch eine kleine verrückte Karte, die aus einem gelben Schmierblatt entstanden ist, welches schon tonnenweise Farbe angesammelt hat...

and heres a little card, I created out of an old paintpaper, which have tons of paint on them

ich habe mehr als Experiment gemalt: was kann ich aus diesem Stück Papier noch zaubern...

naja, am Ende ein bischen schräg, doch auch  ganz süss

it was only a little experiment to see what can I created out of this old thing,

but in the end it turned out quite wierd, but nice

wish you a happy week

and see you soon
