Renovation Overdue


For a few (quite a few) years we have lived in this home, the flat we took when my dhJ and I moved together and before we got married. It is quite a big decision to pick the largest room apart and push the whole stuff into another room (the place where I paint). We chose red then, and we have loved it. Guess which color will be next: the same one. Red is never boring! J said the color restores his energy when he comes home from his tiring job. Incredible how the sun has bleached the paint! Now J is unscrewing the furniture, and on Tuesday my brother will come to help J with the paint.
Here you see my brother years ago, as he was doing the first strokes, then he turned to me and said: "Still time to change your mind!" No, we didn't.

New Painting

Every 2 or 3 days, a new painting pops out of my studio. Gouache, 8.3x11.7"
Title: "Stabbing Mother Earth II".
The Tibetans believed that mining is no good; it might stir up negative forces from inside the earth. They would only take what the earth gave them. Even benevolent observers like Heinrich Harrer smiled about this naive attitude.
