drawing challenge 140: NUDE




thank you for joining this NUDE-dc, dear
Carole, Sally, Barbara, Ariane, Veronica, Susan, Tania, Roberto, Céline, Tammie,
Leena, Eric, Eva, Norma, JoanneNadine and Kristen!

do you remember this 'drawing' i made for the 9th dc, theme 'letters of the alphabet'?
it was my 4th dc and my first nude on this site

i love to use nudes in my work, that was already at artschool and that's still the case
although you will rarely see me in a sauna or even in a swimsuit  ;^))

i do love the sun on my bare skin, especially on my neck and shoulders
and 
i like a covered nudity, that there remains room for imagination
that's what i like about the japanese kimono
the collar exposes the neck, which is a major erotic zone for the japanese,
the white face makeup runs to the back but leaves a small portion nude

so, that's what i wanted to paint
my nude neck
with the paintings of Lucian Freud and Michael Borremans in mind
and 
that i will
later

kitchen garden 3.

 







the snow peas and broad beans bloom
the pole beans grow
we eat freshly picked lettuce and taste the difference
and i am surprised that so much beauty can quickly grow out of such small seeds



de peultjes en tuinbonen bloeien
de stokbonen groeien
we eten versgeplukte sla en proeven het verschil
en ik verbaas me erover dat uit zulke kleine zaden zo snel zoveel moois kan groeien

drawing challenge: coca cola





we are a water, herbal tea, coffee and freshly made juice drinking family
in our household you find coca cola alongside the plasters and paracetamol in the medication tin
because coca cola (old and without the sparkles!) works great with mild food poisoning or diarrhea  ;^))

for more coca cola, please visit Rachel's blog Hi Happy Panda!




wij zijn een water, kruidenthee, koffie en vers gemaakte fruitsap drinkende familie
in ons huishouden vind je coca cola naast de pleisters en paracetamol in het medicijnenblik
omdat coca cola (oud en zonder de prik!) fantastisch werkt bij een lichte voedselvergiftiging of diarree  ;^))

drawing challenge: NEW THEME




'occasionally you need to hold your life upside down to see wether there is more'

loggerheads, mixed, confused
occasionally everything is shaken
topsy-turvy, higgledy-piggledy and upside down
literally or figuratively
what turns your world upside down?

that's the new theme for dc 138 on June 7

U P S I D E  D O W N

are you in?

how it works:
if you want to join, leave a comment saying you are in
the following weekend the 'drawings' are shown on the blogs of the participants
and the host links to all of them

quote from Loesje and see here for the international Loesje
artwork from Dennis Oppenheim



overhoop, door elkaar, verward
zo nu en dan wordt alles door elkaar geschud
op z'n kop en ondersteboven (klinkt in het engels zo veel leuker ;^))
leterlijk of figuurlijk
wat zet jouw wereld op zijn kop?

dat is het thema voor dc 138 op 7 juni

U P S I D E  D O W N

doe je mee?

drawing challenge: NO LIMITS




NO LIMITS is the theme chosen by Roberto
i would want to live that way, more limitless and grand and compelling
but i am not like that
i know my limits, which is fine, but sometimes they get in the way and limit me
sometimes so that i get the feeling i disappear

this self-portrait is part of a series of three i made in 2009



NO LIMITS is het thema gekozen door Roberto
ik zou meer op die manier willen leven, meer grenzeloos en groots en meeslepend
maar zo ben ik niet
ik ken mijn grenzen, wat prima is, maar soms zitten ze in de weg en belemmeren ze me
soms zo dat ik het gevoel krijg te verdwijnen

dit zelfportret is onderdeel van een serie van drie die ik maakte in 2009
