drawing challenge: shelter




dear Renilde is our host this week with shelter

I've been thinking a lot about the theme this week
shelter: a beautiful theme, but certainly not an easy one
unfortunately I had a lot of headaches again
then I prefer to lay my head in my arms
be carried and taken care of
and shelter in my bed

etching with drypoint, size 6x6cm, on handmade paper

what I particularly like about the drawing challenge is
that every time again I am challenged
this week, for the first time in yéars, I was busy with etching
and I loved it!

ik heb veel gedacht aan het thema van deze week
shelter-schuilplaats: een mooi thema, maar zeker niet makkelijk
helaas had ik weer veel hoofdpijn
dan wil ik het liefst m'n hoofd neerleggen in mijn armen
gedragen worden en verzorgd
en beschutting vinden in mijn bed

ets met droge naald, afmeting 6x6cm, op handgeschept papier

wat ik zo bijzonder vind aan de drawing challenge is
dat ik elke keer weer wordt uitgedaagd
zo was ik deze week, voor het eerst in járen, bezig met etsen
en ik genoot!

  2. lieve Patrice, ik hoop dat je hoofdpijn weg is,
    your sweet, right to the point etch on beautiful paper is what shelter looks like to me too, round,
    circular, encircling, maybe that's because we all started being in that warm, softness of our mother's womb, or because we live thanks to and with sun and moon and stars, and the turning of seasons,

    thanks so much for participating in spite of headache, xx
