Thank you all very much, Claire, Frances, Josepha, Tanja and Elvira!! :) So nice of you. :smile:

I spent this afternoon finishing something that I had wanted to be done for weeks and never managed somehow, but now I decided that it was time to get it ready so that I can start some new ones that are waiting. Anyone knows that little lady? ;)

Haha, and don´t worry if you don´t recognize it, it´s not exactly like I wanted it to be and I was again only a millimeter away from destroying it. So nothing has changed after all. :green:

I agree these pictures are fantastic. I love all of them. I just showed my daughter your pictures and she loved them, too. I also showed her what you wrote about being tempted to destroy them and how you stop before that happens. She's definitely a perfectionist, having almost destroyed a number of her pictures, so needed to know that she's not alone in having that impulse. :)

That´s funny, it is one of the few drawings that I have not given away yet, so it´s still in my office under a layer of dust. ;) If you mail me your address, I will send it over to Australia. :smile:

Yep! :)

Or at least it was supposed to be her, but I think there is a lot of Titum in it and a lot of other things, too. ;)

Thanks so very much, Helene! :)

Well, I don't really like most of my drawings, but with paintings it is even worse: most of them look like pictures painted by children. :blush: :green:
So I have to say that I am quite happy with this one:

Image

Sorry for the bad photo quality, the painting looks a tad better in real life (there you can even see the single hairs ;)), but this picture is a video still, because my camera can't take photos anymore. But I had to film it now because I will give it away soon, it's a present for my 87-year-old step-grand-aunt Eva. I so hope that she will like it. :smile:

I can only wish I could draw like that when I was a child, or even now haha :D

Great job!

Thank you, Kirsten!! :kiss:

Here is another one that I did two days ago, this was the reason why I painted the one in my last post, because after having spent about two or three hours on that drawing I still wasn't happy with it and thought I could impossibly give it to someone I like, so I gave up and decided to try painting instead.

Romy, I love this drawing :f:. It's a beautifully-drawn portrait :clap:.
I would definitely give it wall space in my house :yes:.
Would love to see some more examples of your art...... :f:

Hi Romy, amazing! I like all the drawings, but the one of Titum you posted first for me has the most "künstlerische Reife" (don't know how to express in english), this is really high artwork!

Haha, I guess I should have sent it to you, because Eva put both pictures in a drawer and when I visited her the next time she could not even find them anymore under all the newspapers and things like that.

Here is one I made yesterday - postcard size. Such a pity that I can't get good pictures of them but have to use video stills, because when I make the video with more light there are those nasty reflections on the acrylic paint and when I make it in darkness the contrast and picture details become invisible. Maybe one day I should fix my scanner. :smile:

Great that you liked the cat pictures. :) Compared to some of my other pictures I like them too, but still I wish I could paint a bit more like an artist instead of a naive little child. :funny: Another example of that is a CD cover I made for my friend Katrin this weekend - it seems like I just can't paint seriously :blush::

Well, it didn't seem so. She said the cats were looking too serious and put them away into a drawer. Her sister and niece say it's useless to give her any presents at all because she's never happy about them anyway. But then they also think it's useless to spend time with her and take care of her emotional wellbeing altogether and I just do not agree. I don't know yet if she really didn't like the pictures or if 15 years of living alone have simply changed her social capabilities, but as long as I am not 100% sure, I won't stop giving little presents to her when I come for visits. :smile:
