Surrealistic flowers


When I painted this piece I noticed how relaxing the painting with alcoholbased markers can be. They do not try out as quickly as acrylic paints do - so I could take my time with looking at my markers and selecting the next hue, with thinking about the next strokes I would like to do. It was a very pleasant alternative to painting with acrylic inks!

Anger


This portrait was developped from a mask line drawing and painted with acrylic inks. I then scanned in the finished painting, removed the background, uploaded it to Canva and placed it on the mysterious looking starry background.

Long, long ago!


In the 60s of the last century Germans loved to spend their vacation in Italy. It was a big adventure then - driving over the Alps down to the Adriatic Coast. A foreign language, something to eat which was called pizza or pasta, and of course: the wonderful town of Venice with its old buildings and famous places.
At that time taking photos as diapositives was the state of the art. My father took this photo, and when he died I got several boxes full with diapositives. Now I am going through the boxes, select the ones I like and have them digitalized.

Red Mask


This is a true mixed media piece - it contains traditional art and digital design. The mask itself was drawn in Inkscape and coloured in with acrylic inks. I then scanned it in and uploaded it to Canva and put it on the gradient background. 
I am relatively new to Canva and already deeply in love with it. My art consists of abstract pieces and a lot of illustrations on a white background, such as beetles, butterflies and masks. Canva makes it possible to arrange these illustrations in many, many ways, and even to use more than one in one picture.

Sold - Berlin Poster

I sold this poster yesterday on my Zazzle shop. I took the photo quite a while ago, and although I was not 100 percent convinced, I uploaded it to my shop and put the photo on a postcard. It took some time, but that postcard has been selling very very well. So I decided to offer it as a poster and to put it on a mug. Up to yesterday I had no sales, but then obviously somebody thought it would look nice on her walls.
