After spending one day in the presence of a whole horde of chirping sparrow families I just had no chance but to invite one of them into my home.



You will notice the cherry flowers on the bunch, which tells you that he lives here for some time now. I’m afraid I’m a bit behind schedule at the moment - some things just have to wait til they get told.

Here’s the next part of my kitchen parade.
It’s a medievally inspired dame - and one of those pictures where I go from wanting-to-paint-somthing-and-being-not-really-sure-what-it-will-be to oh-look-what-I-did without this little inbetween step of thinking-about-the-thing-I’m-going-to-paint.



Dear Dreisam, since you asked ... the clothes are roughly inspiered by historic pieces - but nothing more!

Here’s an up to date view of the comlpete piece.



Hope you like it

I’ve done another part of my kitchen parade.




I’m not overly satisfied with how they turned out. What do you think?

They are right behind the pirate.

New drawing!
It’s one of those make-do pictures.
The wall next to our dishwasher got a few stains.
Our previous tennant had painted the wall yellow so there was no way of mending it without painting the whole side of the kitchen anew.
I went looking for the old wall paint I used years ago (because it’s waterproof) and guess what! It’s still OK after 10 years!
We had some latex paint too but sadly not the colourless variety.

As you may remember I had a vaguely similar problem in my old flat.
As you may remember I came up with this solution



This time I made every stain into a flower (because it’s springtime), and then I made some more flowers, and some dots and finally - because I couldn't help myself - a good deal more dots.
I like it.



What do you want me to paint next?
I thought about doing more Tolkien.
Also and there’s an ugly mirror in the bathroom which needs attention.
And I’d like some Futurama somewhere ...
And some Dr. Who!

In our kitchen there is a part that is tiled and one that is ... not.
The edge between these two variants stretches across half the room and I think it’s the perfert location for a parade.

First one to walk past is he or she (I’m not sure)



I don’t know how your crative process works, but when I set out to make something most of the time I only have a vague idea about what it’s going to be, but not more.

Same one this time. I thought about parades, an lets NOT do something female this time, no long fluttering skirts, no big hair ... ok, trousers then, trousers it is, and a frock-coat - I’m a sucker for frock-coats - and there he was, walking past, saying "remember pirate? - those were the days, eh!?!"

Lets do something pirate ...

So, here’s to awsome, and to let’s do it again sometime!

Arrr!

Here we go:

flowery - check
squiggles - ... check
bedroom - check



Here’s a smaler picture of the whole corner.
It’s still all very unpacked, but I think it has potential.



What do you think?
How about a art noveau bedroom?

I’ve started. Now we have to stay.

Sice you’ve asked me to do more Tolkien-related stuff ...

Here are some Elves on their way to the bathtub Grey Havens.



They seem to be a bit on the barely-there-side. But thats all right, I think Elves simply are that way ...

...

I’ve just noticed that the last Elf looks kinda funny. I will change that later.
