oldies _ yellow touch

house and universe

nice colors.

i like this kind of still lives.

especially if the objects are ones

i'd love to touch.

the surface of these bowls

reminds me of the breads of my childhood.

nice leaf bowl.

nice box.

i like petals.

lights play.

just nice everything.

i have long been thinking about covering my books...

hehe... like in school, we used to do that...

well, we had to do that.

i like thinking and dreaming about various things.

oldies

i've browsed my old inspirational files.

so here's some inspiration from 2008 and 2009.

i still ike these.

how to climb in style:

birds of all kinds:

living outdoors:

textures:

moroccan interiors:

back then i didn't think i would use these in a blog,

so i don't know sources, but i'll try to find and credit the owners.

unleash your creativity...

...and the child that lives in you.

art supplies are one of my weeknesses.

images: ffffound, cadaverouss.

.

off to visit my parents for a few days,

but i'll try to keep posting.

side note: i did today's challenge.

the ikea molger soap dish

(of which i suppose every hungarian

household owns at least one)

turned out to be a difficult subject.

the drawing took me forty minutes,

and i still couldn't get it right.

but it made me think.

on the flip side

i like these a lot.

i think that their stillness,

anonimity and forms make these into

some abstract pieces of art.

all images from the editorial "verso"

in the gentlewoman, issue 3, spring/summer 2011.

various models photographed by

jason evans.

soo, this seems to be marni.
i thought it was a vintage.
but i still find it amazing.

this was made by fashion designer j'amy tarr

dell stewart, via ii-ne-kore

rough edges are so nice.

omg

this is a millais.

i would never have guessed.

okay, maybe the red hair...

why did he paint all that cheesy crap

if he could paint like this?

okay, i'm too harsh on him.

i love his ophelia and blind girl and isabella and stuff...

but i find this to be so much better.

it might be just me.

to be honest, i don't really like the pillars,

but look at the embroidery!

and the blue-yellow contrast.

and the orange and red.

no kidding, my heart really skipped a beat

when i spotted this.

okay i'll stop.

i'm only posting this to let you in on a plan i got.

i plan to transform the way i see things.

i'd like to tranform it by drawing everyday.

just a little, not much.

of course it has to be after life, not doodling.

ten minutes at the least.

(suppose if you can transform your body

by working out ten minutes a day, than maybe

you can transform your seeing

by drawing ten minutes.)

starting (ummm) today (ummm).

okay, let's say i'll make this

a 30 day challenge.

(i posted this little ted speech some time ago

that i really loved, so now i'll give it a shot.)

i'm a bit scared of course, because i'm not

very good at keeping promises,

but now that you got my word,

maybe i'll be more able to stick to this.

whaddaya think?

i'll keep you posted.

you're welcome to play along,

if you want to.

hugs,

agnes

:)
