drawing challenge 164: grass






the theme of this week 'grass' is once again chosen by VERONICA
for the link to the other participants, please go here


the first thing i had to think of was the photo report in the Volkskrant of a few years ago
it's called 'this land is your land, this land is my land' by WassinkLundgren
a dutch artists duo which with this photo report challenged our expectations about 
values, land, and the value of land

the second thing was cows, it's the time of year that the cows for the first time, 
after the winter, go in the meadow, see here  

the etching of a cow is part of my graduation work, i made it in 1994
three sawed pieces etching plate with the print of grass

but my most favorite grass is the grass that Youngest drew me 
when he was about 5 years old
with a muscari  ;^))

  1. All wonderful images Patrice! Oh, I love Youngest's work. I have a few specially saved art pieces from my little guys. A special favourite is a dinosaur from eldest. I think that one is eating some grass. Must go check it out. Love your cow. Is that a Dutch belted cow? My friend Celi (thekitchensgarden.com) and a couple and they just had babies! Love those cows. :D

  5. Your son's work with its simple lines is a masterpiece of innocence. It's pretty obvious where he got his artistic skills from..... lovely Patrice! xo

  6. Ja, as Eric said: what a beautiful post!
    Dear Patrice, so fresh!
    and I feel so close to you for many reasons: a print (made in the 90th) and a tuft of grass... a far away sibling.

    Thank you for introducing WassinkLundgren to us and showing us the happy cows. For your amazing zen cow etching and last but not least: Your son's drawing. So heart touching.
    Thank you!
    Love
    xo Ariane xx
