Free Time

Back to painting. My toy cars (or rather my nephew's toy cars) are enjoying their free time. Always a good thing, but even more so for the emergency services!

Daisy 53

Today would have been a 'Daisy-Day', but I've caught the flue and was sleeping the whole day. So - no painting... Still, I have a quick sketch that I made of Daisy while she was sleeping. I used the iPad app 'Paper fiftythree' ... and my finger...

Team Effort

Yes, Green got off to a rocky start - although in the end it was all a misunderstanding - but now he got his second chance and can show his qualities. He is reliable and definitely a team player!

Toyville High

You remember my post 'Pleasantville Cat' and the reference to the perfect world shown in the movie 'Pleasantville'?  - Well, 'Toyville' is as charming and happy, but definitely more colorful. Even the sheep are happy. And I suspect the kids in the Toyvilee High school bus are singing... because they are happy... (scroll down for the sing-along soundtrack to this painting!)...

"Toyville High!"

And of course the soundtrack just HAS to be 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams. I'm sure you've all heard the song by now, but have you seen the video?
Enjoy. And... clap along!

Daisy... staying alert!

Taking a walk with a - young! - dog is like playing with a young child. They both are seeing everything, commenting on everything (at least the child is!), noticing things an adult often ignores. Excited about everything, curious. I don't know what Daisy saw or heard, but she literally froze. Totally focused on the most important thing in the universe for these three seconds. I get the feeling I might have missed something there...

But then again, seeing the world anew each day, noticing the beauty in everyday things, getting excited about a shape, sound, color... I see how artists can relate to this!

A different Point of View

A few days ago, Green got his first supporting role. As you might recall things did not go according to plan.... Now I'm happy to see that all of you have opted to give Green a second chance - but also I have received important information regarding what really happend. Sometimes you just need to take a different point of view!

So while we were watching Green in his supporting act, that's what he saw: his parents (Daddy Blue and Mum Chartreuse) came by to see how Green's doing. Surprise visit - so of course Green got all excited and forgot what he was supposed to do.
Totally understandable, and nobody holds a grudge anymore!

Founded in 1863

So, the first third of the 30 in 30 challenge is done, this is painting Nr 11.  It's funny how these little wooden toy cars are moving right into my comfort zone! It is almost relaxing to paint them!

'Founded in 1863' refers to the International Committee of the Red Cross - it was founded in 1863 in Geneva by the Swiss Henry Dunant. While its mandate is to protect victims of international and internal armed conflicts, the red cross has become a general symbol for first aid and protection. It was probably formed by reversing the colours of the Swiss flag, which is a white cross on red ground.
Being Swiss, I'm of course very proud of the Red Cross....

To support this good cause, 100% of the sale will donated to the Red Cross!
