Yesterday I started my first commissioned portrait Yesterday I started my first commissioned portrait - that is actually a scaled version of one of my practice sketches - and I am quite content with the progress ☺️ To be continued tonight …

In Germany it was mother‘s day today and I got t In Germany it was mother‘s day today and I got these beautiful selfmade earrings from my daughter ❤️But apart from that it actually wasn’t my day, because we also celebrated my son‘s 10th birthday and I spent most of the time in the kitchen and preparing a treasure hunt 🎂🦖 It’s 14 years ago now that I became a mother and with every year I get more respect for what my mum did. It was a bit different because she got me when she was at my age now, but I cannot help than comparing myself with her from time to time. She always was very calm and steady and I can hardly remember a moment when she became angry. Me on the other hand, I am very emotional, sometimes impatient and sometimes even a bit childish. I still don’t feel like a typical mother“ - if that exists - or even sometimes like a mother at all… But I guess there’s no right or wrong in being a mother/a father. As long as there is love and respect in dealing with these small individuals we call children. 🍼 Happy mother’s day to all other mothers out there! 🌷 Do you often compare yourself with your own parents? Is there a difference or rather resemblance?

Yesterday’s sketch practice. It cost me quite an Yesterday’s sketch practice. It cost me quite an effort to start, because I worked a long time and was so tired. But then it was very relaxing just to draw and I was a bit proud that I managed it anyway. 🥱 Reference by @earthsworld 📷

There’s a new goal. After much trouble with too There’s a new goal. After much trouble with too many different styles, I finally have a vision of where to go with my art. Hopefully 😅 But there’s a lot of work to reach that level… I managed to learn Norwegian with just about 15 minutes a day - from scratch. So, now I invest at least 15 minutes a day in drawing. With no demand for a good result. Let’s see where it will take me. 💪🏻 (This drawing took a little longer 🤫 Inspired by a photo @irisvalentina_photographer )

When I planned my trip to Norway, I had the idea o When I planned my trip to Norway, I had the idea of leaving a little piece of art (a little bit of me) on one of my favorite places. So I drew this eagle on a stone and placed it somewhere at the #altafjord - a beautiful place I accidentally found after a failed hike and where I spend almost two hours in totally peace until the weather sent me back 🇳🇴 I‘m really curious if someone will find it and maybe also posting a picture (instructions on the stone’s bottom 😉)
The eagle btw stands for one of my biggest values „freedom“ as well as for two people that impressed my life a lot. I‘m also carrying it as a tatoo on my arm. 🦅
