Coffee Or Tea?

It was a nice, sunny afternoon, talking and drinking coffee with a good friend. Hope you will all have a great weekend... no matter what’s written in the coffee grounds (as we say in German) or as you say: reading tea leaves...

Heartbeat VI

A couple of years ago I visited here in the Zurich Art School a class ‘Nude Drawing’. The teacher became ill, so there was a substitute: Peter Radelfinger. He showed me a complete new view on things – a good teacher! His focus on the medium of the drawing really interests me. These days I heard about his show in the Kunstmuseum Bern. You'll get more information here about the show and the artist (in English too).

Heartbeat III (Addendum)

Some posts before I introduced you to Gregory and his stunning prints. I just couldn’t resist… and now it’s here – STATES UNITED – finally in front of me (as you can see the feet changed...). It’s a wonderful, accurate work – very high quality. I'm so happy with it! You get this print and others in Gregory's Etsy shop beauchamping.

Red

Some finds in my studio... sometimes it has to be red! Wish you a wonderful weekend, full of love, passion, raspberries and red sunsets...

Heartbeat V

I love dishes, actually everything kitchen. Last time in Paris I walked into a small store… and I didn’t want to leave anymore. Go visit Astier de Villatte, I’m sure you will stay there for a while…

193 Peaceful Kings

Gouache, paper and a needle, an ongoing series… one for every country (though the number of countries is changing all the time).

Embracement

A tender love story between a wistaria twig and chives just starts in front of my window...

Time, Tears And Pleasant Anticipation

It’s Friday again, time seems to fly... sometimes it’s frightening how fast. The sky over Zurich is crying and crying… I don’t know what might be so sad... so many tears... I’m looking forward to our voyage to the sun, to the south of France... in August, time is flying...

Have a wonderful weekend!

Olli Marttila. Wonderful artist and bookbinder Kaija from Paperiaarre introduced me some time ago during an email conversation to this Finnish artist. Kaija thought I might like his work – she was so right! His beautiful work really talks to me… This language is so familiar – I understand every word, though I don’t speak Finnish…

Summer, Chanel and Tea

It's July (Summer!), rainy, Friday eve, I catched a cold... kind of autumn atmosphere - if we had a fireplace I would light it... instead I drink tea and snap up a book... about Chanel. I lately saw this new movie about her... made me want to know more about this life.

Wish you a warm and sunny weekend!

Let your mind wander further...

...this one and other pieces of the “Wandering Minds“ series will be soon available in my shop.

beauchamping. In the truest sense of the word, these prints make my heart beat. I recently found Gregory’s shop beauchamping on Etsy. He’s work combines wisdom, intelligence, a fine sense of humor and a high level design – the right ingredients. A discovery.

Wandering Minds

There are always several projects I’m working on. From time to time I need to take some distance from a work I’m on. I put it aside and go out, drink a coffee, make a phone call or I apply myself to another work. Take a peek of this mixed media/collage project, ‘Wandering Minds’ ...to be continued.

Again...

...in my kitchen. The print behind the pitcher will be available again, tomorrow in my shop; format A4, in a second edition.

SEVEN | Little Wings

SEVEN is a weekly edition. There is every Sunday a new edition of 7. You can get this print now in my shop.

Green Seduction…

…this evening in my kitchen – a place I love to be, a place where so many senses come together – scent, colors… and a good talk around the kitchen table...

Growing Wings

Still working with my new favorite color...

Heartbeat II

Silvia Bächli. I follow and love the work of this Swiss artist since a long time. The reduction, the partition of a white sheet of paper with lines, clear and at the same time full of live and emotion is impressing – even more when the single drawings and paintings interact, laying arranged on a table or hanging on a wall. Poetry.

Silvia Bächli officially represents Switzerland at the 53rd International Art Biennale in Venice.
