The finished painting I started a little over a week ago.

I need a title for it. I think of protection in this piece, in a world that’s burning, with little refuge or safety anywhere.

Oil on Watercolor paper, ~ 9 x 12”

A beautiful white woman with dark cropped curly hair is wearing a gold & silver emergency blanket with gold on the outside and it shaped on her like a fancy cloak with a silver high collar. She has her arms around & protective of a young child, maybe 7 or so, also wearing an emergency blanket, with only the silver side seen. The child is facing us looking direct. The woman has eyes also direct with a suspicious, but strong look. Behind is a building wall in dark grey with a large map on it, a portion of it burning.

Happy birthday, Professor J.R.R. Tolkien! The Hobbit was my gateway to fantasy storytelling and Thor’s map sparked my passion for map making. The road goes ever on and on…

While organizing files I found this totally awesome tintype of my great- great- grandmother, Mary F. Figert! On the envelope it says she was 19yrs old in the photo. She was born in 1854 so the photo was made circa 1873. Mary passed away in 1926.

Looking good, Grandma--and what a cool hat!

An upper body photo of a young white lady on metal. She looks to the right and has a pleasant countenance. Her dark hair is shoulder length and curly. One fairly long round earring with dangles is visible. On her head she wears a small fedora style hat that is tipped forward and kicked to the right. She wears a dark dress that's visible down to her thin waist. Over her shoulders is some sort of curly rug-like shawl. There's a light colored bow-tie at the top of the dress.

New painting. Probably finished. I like it.
Still thinking about a title for it.

It’s much bluer and darker in real life.

Oil on Board, 10” sq.

Another fairly quick study painting today.
It’s been a very good art day. Same model, slightly different pose. Much better painting, imo.

Maybe some tiny tweaks when I have better light to see it in. Quite please with it.

Oil painting, 6 x 8”

A white woman with long red hair leaning her head on her hand, making her mouth stretch a bit to one side. She is wearing a white shirt.

Throwback to that day on the countryside with Rebecca that one autumn.

Things are slowing down in my life at the moment. The stressful months have past and I spend the days moving stuff around, being outside in nature and finally celebrate Christmas season again. I began to setup my personal Kanban board - and it's full of stickers for the upcoming tasks and ideas for the next year. A high priority task: enjoy life again and having a wonderful Christmas time with my closest.

#portrait #blackandwhite #germany

This is a black and white photograph of a young woman standing on a narrow, unpaved road, looking downwards with a pensive or melancholic expression. She has long, straight dark hair that flows down past her waist, and she is wearing a dark, long-sleeved top with a subtle dotted pattern on the sleeves. A delicate wreath of small flowers and leaves adorns her head. The road is lined on both sides by a tunnel of tall, mature trees with dense canopies, creating a somewhat enclosed and intimate atmosphere. To the right of the road, beyond the trees, there appears to be a field of tall grass or crops, slightly blurred to suggest movement or depth of field. The overall impression is one of quiet contemplation or a gentle, ethereal presence in a natural setting. The shallow depth of field keeps the woman sharp while blurring the background, drawing focus to her.

From Haneen, Naeema's mother, about her two youngest sons, Saji and Elias:

"In a world that took everything from them,
they still create joy out of nothing...
With small hands and big hearts,
they play as if the war never passed here."
