I think his name is Fred. He looks like a Fred to me. #gouache #art #dog

The lovesick frog finally got its colors, with a little heart added in. Because we could all use a bit more 💜 #watercolor #art #painting

a very loud frog is performing his love songs in my neighborhood right now. can only hear him, so i had to imagine that he’s starting to look a bit done with everything... #art #ink #drawing

Still my happy place ... #art #watercolor #gouache

A little panta rhei moment in my morning scribbles. Everything flows and changes, making the beautiful moments worth treasuring, and the difficult ones easier to survive.

I love this brush for details in watercolour and gouache. super sharp point. princeton velvetouch long round 10

Back to the roots, the trees, the swirls ... #art #watercolor #gouache #illustration

Still some spark left 😉 #art #abstract #surreal

Lost ... watercolour, ink and gouache sketch #art #feelings

When the darkness comes back, it’s survival mode again, just holding on to that last bit of light ... #art #painting #depression

Nature is bursting back to life! Time to shake off the winter blues! 😎

busy squirrel in my garden this morning.barely caught it on camera 😆

How i wish I could hide in one of my mushroom houses ... #art #escapism #fairytale

I doubt that there will ever be peace on earth as long as humans exist. Our technology advances fast, but our brains, unfortunately, do not. We are still prehistoric beings, throwing rocks at each other. It's so stupid ...

The sky is wonderful today. That blue ...

This one seems to be heading in a dramatic direction...😯 #art #mushroom #dramaqueen

Waking up really hungry always makes me think, what the hell did I do that night?? Without remembering anything 😉

And here we go again ... I had an outdoor workout while shoveling snow this morning 😅

Having fun with a gouache experiment this morning 😄 #art #houses #painting

They bring me pure joy. It’s like a journey back to my childhood, to the first books that sparked my imagination. It is a lifetime ago… and yet the magic of those little mushroom houses still lingers, soft and bittersweet. #art #fairytale

Art isn’t generated here, it’s wrestled into existence. Every stain on the desk is part of the handmade story. 🖖 #noai

Always the first thing to appear in my garden. It's not over yet, but it looks like we've made it through another winter.

Started the day on the wrong foot. Too bad yesterday-me felt healthy while shopping. If only I had toast, bacon, and eggs now. Yogurt and a banana just won’t cut it. 😒

I'm also thinking about Pizza. Salami! Mahh...

Another small acrylic painting. I’ve been thinking about reopening my Etsy shop with paintings and maybe other art-related things. #art #traditional

The birds are already singing their spring songs. These crazy little things! 😎 #art #acrylics #painting #traditional

An experiment with acrylic colors and ink, trying to achieve a watercolor feel. The result is mixed, but close. With more medium, the background might become more fluid and airy. #art #painting

I feel very lucky to have a peaceful me-cave these days ... #painting #acrylics #stone #art

It’s finally thawing. The cold snap is over here in my part of Austria. I’m still in hibernation mode, though. Need to get out of this slump…

Tried a makeshift easel (a movable standing desk). Result: painting = more fun, back = happier, wrists = less grumpy. Naturally, this led to the completely impulsive decision to order a real easel. Arriving tomorrow 😄

Replaced the fridge last week after it slowly forgot how cold works. Just now I had to accept that the dishwasher is dead. I’m done with 2026. Wake me up in 2027. Or better 3412, when appliances are either loyal or extinct and at least one of todays problems for sure will no longer exist. 🤬

Fail 🤨 Is it Monday?

Good morning frozen world! Still dreaming your fairy-tale dreams under your frosty blanket, it seems ...

Another sun/moon face on my journey to find a decent profile pic. Too cheesy, not exactly what I want. Will getting painted over tomorrow. Acrylics for the (hopefully) win! #art #traditional

Everything is still frozen here today. It’s like a fairy tale! ❄❄❄ Of course, there are also a lot of accidents and injured people, and all that mundane stuff. Meh…

I’m a starter. I wish I were a finisher. Instead, I’m a trier, considerer, restarter ... everything but a finisher. 😑 #WIP #art #painting

There is more snow falling from the sky this morning. This is the most wintery winter we’ve had in years! I’d enjoy it more if I didn’t have to shovel the sidewalk again 😅

I think I’ll paint another one. This might be a little too disturbing for a profile picture 😅 #art #abstract #moon

I shoveled snow! Now I’m going to create new social media banners, icons, and who knows what else. Not sure what it will be yet, but unfortunately the journals have to go 😔 Watercolor and gouache today. Fire for ADHD focus help… or just staring into it for an hour with a completely blank brain 😁

Snow! I will have to shovel the sidewalk soon. Joy! (well, I try to feel it) 😆

I don’t like that Amazon is perfect for introverts like me … yet here we are. Again.😑

Pretty sure I'm the slowest painter ever. Not sure this tiny painting will ever be finished 😆 #art #acrylics #handmade #treehouse #gnomehome

My dark side seem to be shining through ... #art #abstract #acrylics #painting #fantasy

The year begins, as it should, with Palatschinken for breakfast.

Starting my last Monday of this year. It's just numbers, right? I will once again not change magically into a better me next year? I'm too old now to have much hope any longer 😆

Having fun in my new studio corner, making teeny-tiny patterns because I just can’t help it 😁 #art #painting #acrylics #abstract #signs

There is still snow. We had White Christmas here in Lower Austria. It wasn't much, but still. Very seldom, these days.

Sitting here doomscrolling, putting off that last trip to the supermarket before the holidays start…
