Just around the corner from my office…..

….. we have a wonderful park….. this is something that Anton and I are quite excited about, as these beautiful surroundings often provide the framework for our small expeditions during the day, when Anton feel the urge to lift his leg.

The park I am referring to is “The king’s Gardens“, also called Rosenborg Castle Gardens, and it is the oldest royal garden in our country.

During the summer, the gardens are the setting for a lot of music and theatre events and it is also regularly used to show different forms of art…..

….. here you can see a few photos of some of the artworks that they have on the program in these days…..


Quite funny, right?

I was at the beach this morning…..

….. and it was pure poetry….. the soft coastline in the delicate morning light, and the intense flavor from late blooming beach roses mmmmmmmmmmm.

What for some people would be frightening loneliness is balsam for my soul….. to walk alone….. or almost alone….. for there were seagulls…..

turtles……

sea people…..

and the wind, that whispers lovingly in my ear……

….. shortly the wind will be blowing sad whistles to me….. advertising the arrival of autumn….. but this morning….. it’s still summer….. so let’s enjoy it while it last!

Have a lovely summer day

Adorable hand drawn…..

….. kraft paper envelopes from instant joy.

We are back home….. and its been raining, and raining….. and raning….. approx 100 mm the last 24 houers.

….. and it looks as it will continue to rain….. so, on a rainy day like this….. I need my Hunter rain boots…..

….. and something warm….. like a lovely:

Moroccan mint tea
1 liter of water
2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons green tea
1 x small bunch fresh mint

Do this: Boil water and sugar together. Add tea and fresh mint in a teapot. Pour over the water and let it steep for 5-7 minutes.

Serve in glasses with a sprig of mint in each.

Have a lovly rainy day

Things which makes Wednesday mmmmm…..

I found these Martin Stranka pictures on deviantart.com and I just love the coffee theme….. apparently they were done for a new commercial project for 12 premium cafés and restaurants called Café Emporio in Prague.

To see more, visit his website.

I hope you all had a…..

….. great Earth Day yesterday?

How are you planning to do your part? ….. you know, even the tiniest gesture makes a difference.

I spend my day recycling art materials….. a project which not only saved me money, but also may contribute to save the planet in the process.

You will contribute with something very meaningful if you recycle just one thing in the near future.

Have an artful and fun weekend

Love lizzy

Talking about inspiration…..

….. I felt the urge to republish this post:

If I can say one thing to anyone, it is: Create!

Do it…….pick up that charcoal, paintbrush or pen……. doodle, paint, color…. write a poem…. plant herbs…. sing a song…. what ever makes you feel creative…. relies your self in your creation….

Me?….. I been painting softly away yesterday, trying to get over a pain in my neck….. relishing it in to the paintwork…..

I call this one “Fruit” - photo private

Don’t focus on how it “should” look…. don’t say “But I can’t draw. “
YES, you can…… we are all blessed with the ability to draw, unless you have no hands, and even then…… you can paint with your feet.

Create because it feels good…. because it allows new and undiscovered sides out… to whisper and shout….

Create because you can….. because its fun…… and it’s Delightful

Draw your story, your love, your life…. paint what you need to shout to the world… or just what you need to whisper to yourself.

Go forth, Delightful people…… Create.
