Desert

I listened to the radio and Karima El-Mahrough alias "Ruby", when asked about the sex scandal with the former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, answered something like: الجمل دائما يرى سنام شقيقه ولكنه لم بلده, that means: "The camel always sees the hump of his brother but never his own." "That", she said, "is a proverb from my home country Morocco!"

Nature

I recently painted some sunflowers and I think they fit to this week´s theme "Nature". Have a nice week everyone! 

Pattern

Wouldn´t this be perfect for a Hawaiian shirt?

Folk Art

I tried to do a portrait of Vincent van Gogh in a colorful, naive style. I hope it fulfills the requirements of Folk Art. Have a nice week everyone!

Honoré de Balzac

Normally, I use my soft woodless graphite pencils only for my nude drawings to emphasize the line drawing before applying the watercolor. When I portrait someone, I just do a thin line drawing that you nearly cannot see anymore on the finished watercolor painting. So here I changed my habit and did a slightly different portrait using my 2B woodless graphite pencil.

Glow

So, here is my approach to the theme: The light green surrounding "Henri Matisse and his cat" (an old black and white photo was my model) brings light and some glow to my painting...

Renaissance

"DAVID", Watercolour and pencil, 21 x 29,7 cm

For this week´s theme, I made a drawing of David, the masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504 by Michelangelo.

Sun

I like cats, I like the sea, the sun and I like to swim. So I drew this picture where I combined all of it.
