The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer ~ Edward R. Murrow

hello everybody, sorry i didn't write for so long...it has been...months. i did have to study really hard for my exams in july, since i was in a bad mood the last semester and did not go to many courses...but today i got the results of the exams and i was really good...life is kind of ironic. anyways, the summer has been nice so far, i spent some weeks at the sea, but then my sister had to have an emergency operation, and that was quite stressful. shes fine now, home again and i'm her slave cause she cannot walk. so last week i started to paint with ink (and no, i bought some ink in the supermaket and did not use my nice japanese ink)...sumi-e. i experimented a bit with styles...so all you sumi-e masters, please avert your eyes now or you will be blinded.

this is the first one...it is very modern...and i used to much ink on the face.

those are some plum blossoms...well, they were, in the beginning...

me and sakura blossoms

the sakura tree

japanese maple

this one is actually a copy of a painting i found on flickr...the original is really expressive, and the painter really knew what he was doing, anyway, you should check him out (meaning he's an awesome artist :P) at http://www.flickr.com/photos/sumi-e/sets/72157594381169650

i just wanted to do some window-shopping...

I <3 Edgar Allan Poe too.

this is just hilarious!

First i wanted to write her quote:“I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” But then i thought i already have the "alice-me so sad" picture...lets write one of her more happy quotes. Anyways, i love her.

This is the result of listening 6 hours non-stop to Miles's Davis "Kind of Blue" ...jepp, totally turned into a Bepopper.

And this is my new true love..... she (i did not find a proper name yet, but "it" is definitely female) accompany's me everywhere i go.

I wen t yesterday to an wood art exhibition which totally knock my socks off ! I saw over 500 objects from Oceania, Africa, North America, Europe and Asia. Here are some pics so that you willl get at least a small impression!
