drawing | stained glass

the days seem to have merrily rolled into saturday and i find myself at a loss at this week's drawing challenge. how thrilling! i'd had a few plans, they all dissolved. so i started doodling on photoshop for inspiration and finally came up with rather a pixelated abstract draft to start from. me being just a teeny tiny bit lazy (and pressed for time) to colour in umpteen coloured shards for the weekend, i still had trouble enough over applying worn out fibre tip pens. must add those to shopping list!

call the drawing {above} an abstract to the image {below}, shall we, 

box n° 1
more on these soon ☻

because funnily enough, that's where i started from. the pixelated drawing reminiscing of colours-by-number, does it not? 

i'd rather now just come and have a look at your masterpieces, elisabeth, renilde, jasmin, rachel and ariane! your name not on this list? ring a bell!

drawing challenge NEW THEME : stained glass

stained glass often has a religious connotation. how could it not have? its sparkling beauty rises holy debate, especially when sunlight falls through abundantly. nonetheless and even without the help of god, we can let ourselves be immersed by spiritual thoughts. 

illumination ahoy! let's have it for the late summer light? feel free to join the band of glory, and especially of stained glass. elisabeth, renilde, jasmin, rachel and ariane have signed up!

anybody with a new (next week's) theme, feel free to indicate ... ☻

corner view ≈ change

what better time for change than september, on the last day of august? oh glory! for some reason or other this tune springs to mind, but then the air seems to burst with humour and lol. oh yes! it's that time of the year when the coen brothers uninvitedly knock on the door and hazardous dapper dan, for obvious reasons, melts my ♥. all over again. 

in september.... i just live twice! in september, i find change to be easy as pie. cherry pie. and then pumpkin.

drawing | window

photo on wall : henk van rensbergen

windows are magical. when outside looking in, i love all kind of shapes, brand new or wheathered, i really do not make a distinction. they are the dreamy part of a house.

if darkness falls and you find yourself outside looking in, and windows aren't dressed by the inhabitants, magic mounts to a crescendo. it may be punch & judy in there, hence broken windows. [a friendly banter anyone can appreciate, you should have been in my house this weekend! ☻]

upon entering a house, a building, an apartment for the first time i fly to the window, to aknowledge the view and then nod. yes, this is how things look from right here. i love window talk!

all time favourite window of mine,
i wished i could have taken it home!

in view of next week's theme, which i chose independently from but coincidentially close to jasmin's, i will leave my window unclad, pristine and bare this weekend, so that i can burst out next week....

nonetheless, i believe some pretty windows shall open over at jasmin's this weekend!
