♥ My Loving Mode ♥

 

So......let's talk about love !

 Everywhere you look at the moment there are ♥ hearts and cards and red and pink and loving things.

♥

We're getting into the ♥ Loving ♥ Mode of the year: 

♥ Valentine's Day ♥

When I grew up in Holland they did not celebrate it much, of course now they do, sell more red roses, chocolates and many other 'loving' ♥ things. Strange, in my opinion we should show our love ALL YEAR long, not just on one day of the year where all prices for all things red and hearts and lovely get hugely inflated, just because..

♥ 
so I have decided that this Valentine's Day I will have a Give away......YAY !!
I won't say yet what you'll be able to win, that is going to be a SURPRISE......but if you want to be in to win, leave me a comment, post on your Facebook for an extra chance, Twitter or Blog for another, you get my drift. Just let me know here in the comments where you have spread DA LUV ! ♥♥♥♥♥

 ♥ Funny day (happens to my Birthday too) ♥

Pacific Blues

I found a painting I did a while ago for a screenprint on fabric

when they were doing the nuclear testing on Moruroa in the Pacific Ocean

 I named it 'Pacific Blues'

Maximum Impact - Minimum Effort

Maybe some of you have heard me say this already ? I am working towards a certain goal this year. It is one of Goddess Leonie's sayings : "Maximum Impact - Minimum Effort" and allthough at this moment I make HUGE amounts of effort with just very little impact..... I BELIEVE the first statement must be achievable. One of Leonie's wonderful tools is this VERY affordable 2012 Creating your Goddess Year workbook, planner & calendar. It has been incredibly popular & useful to help you plan out & make happen your most incredible year yet. Sounds cool huh ? Guess I'll start there. If you like the sound of this, why not follow the link and grab one yourself ! Over the last three years apparently thousands of women have used this workbook with the most amazing results. It’s the best planning tool available to help you make your year more inspiring than ever. It’s filled with over 100 pages of worksheets & a printable calendar to help you dream, manifest, set your intentions, plan & cultivate your amazing new year. The workbook has been lovingly handwritten & rainbow illustrated… perfect for you to print out, soak up the rainbow colours, get thoroughly inspired ! You’ll get clarity on what you need 2012 to be. What you want to create during it. And most importantly, how to make it happen.There still is plenty of time, it's only the start of February. Have one yourself now !

Pshychedelic speed sketching ;o)

I uploaded another speed sketching video the other day, this time a quick charcoal 3/4 portrait

I also made another cute, weird, funky animal. "SaY WHAT ! said the Psychedelic caT" is what I called him. It's amazing how wonderful freeing it feels to crawl into the body of an animal and shake off your feelings by drawing them. Clears up the psychedelic mind, hehe !

A canvas painting I did in fresco style

SourPuss - a cat with attitude

Made this little Sour Puss the other day when I felt a little like this. Great that in art you can paint away your feelings !

(and our cat has attitude, so this one got a fair share of that as well)
