hair wouldn't have attracted me if it didn't also bear a hold on me because of its quirk. i'll admit it's from its quirk i got my this week's inspiration.

{here's an energetic 1968 zen version of the bbc3 television score.}

on this occasion, belgian artist patrick van den eynde's enthralling painted hairdos sprang to mind. here's a photographic image of his late eighties work in progress, the original and finished painting (backgrounds in aubergine) somewhere in the regions of 2x2.5 m.

spring led me into the garden for my sketch, albeit a late august scene i'm inserting. i couldn't shake the image, when some plants show off autumnul hair. i've not ever seen this anemone patens for real. i would like to! {inspired by a mary vaux wallcott original drawings.}

  7. Hallelujah, dearest Nadeschda, nice hairdo and that song... well, I tap my toes and hair :-)
    Love your flowery hair drawing of anemone patens, it is so soft and easy. Like the weather!
    And do you know about hair remembrance art: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haarbild (sorry, only in German) The painted hairdos by Patrick Vanden Eynde reminds me on that.

    I let flown hair at the seaside and have drawn it subdued... thank you for your eclectic theme!

    Til later!
    you find me outside til sunset ;-)
    Love xo Ariane

  8. Oh I love that drawing, it's beautiful! And thanks for this fun theme!

    Ik zou ongelofelijk graag erbij zijn, bij het DC event. Helaas heeft mijn vakantie zich verschoven en ben ik daar zelf weg. Misschien red ik het nog om 1 dag langs te komen maar dat zou ik je dan nog laten weten. Ik vind het ongelofelijk jammer ;-( en de plek die Barbara heeft uitgezocht ziet er zo mooi uit!

  12. I love this Nadine. I was trying a way around actual hair and probably should have popped over here first...lol. As it is, I might be a day late but now at least I can take my time enjoying and catching up on your lovely posts. Thank you so much for the invite. I'm still not sure how these drawing challenges work so hopefully I'll keep up thru you. :) Hope your week is shaping up to be a good one.
