“Sakura” means “cherry blossom”. Derived from the Japanese word “Saku” which means to bloom or smile. I love the tiny delicate pink flowers produced by cherry blossom trees. Beautiful flowers with a beautiful meaning as the Sakura blossoms represent a time of renewal and optimism.

I love the shades of brown in my home. It’s a warm rich color and blends so good with other shades and accents in my home. I love to add a little coral or pink like some fabric or candles. It’s like instant brightness and it’s beautiful with the brown artwork.

Brown is beautiful with complementary colors such as red or yellow-whites, dusky pink, lighter blue or sage green. The warmth of brown is associated with reliability, healing and strength. Brown associates with the earth, a calming and resilient element that keeps us quite grounded.

The structure in this painting is so strong, you can almost feel the brush strokes. I enjoy playing with colours, combining small highlights in a nude palette.

Dreaming. Embracing the quiet of the night before the day begins.

Following the light. Embracing every part of the journey listening and learning. Sometimes the story unfolds different, but that doesn’t mean less beautiful…

Trusting the process. Free to try again, appreciating the unexpected.

So much passion. Open heart seeing more, my feet on the ground.

Stillness reminds me this present moment. My mind and harmony with my heart embracing the stillness Loving embrace.

Between Sky and Earth

Through transparent layers of lace,

I breathe in the gentle sounds of the sea,

listening slowly to the beautiful silence.

My arms float,

softly veiling my face,

gazing far into the distance.

Stillness unfolds,

and clarity drifts in like morning light.

It is in silence that my thoughts become clear…

I drew this portrait during one of my travels to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco as an homage to a young women I met in a small village. Her bright look and eyes filled my heart with joy.

I love watching the sunrise over the mountains. The sky coloured in all shades of pink before the sun starts to show. The mountains glowing and looking so magical.

Die Sonne geht auf,
und der Morgentau enthüllt seine Magie.
Glitzernde Tautropfen
schmücken die Erde mit den Juwelen der Natur.
Ein Moment der Reinheit und Verjüngung.
Halten Sie inne, besinnen Sie sich,
und schätzen Sie die Schönheit der Welt.

Ich liebe den frühen Morgentau auf den Blumen und Feldern, die mein Zuhause umgeben. Berührt von den ersten Sonnenstrahlen, glänzen sie so hell und schaffen eine magische Atmosphäre.

MYSTÈRE EN FLEURS

Here she is…

Mystère en fleurs.

She turns away in quiet delicacy,

her dress a garden full of dreams.

What she hides in beautiful colors

is whispered only by the flowers.

A mystery in bloom

A portrait painting of Tresor who reminds me of a picture in my grandmother’s old family photobook. When closing my eyes, I still remember all photos in there. I see the beautiful garden, the little village and those sweet memories feel like a warm hug from the past. Who does Tresor remind you of?

Here she is… painting Palmeraie

In the Palmeraie, quiet wide and green
palms sway in the air

Dates in the sun hanging from branches heavy and sweet.

From childhood on a love stayed true

for palms that lean toward skies so blue
for desert roads where heat runs high
then suddenly softens as you pass by.

An oasis appears where the desert ends

a ribbon of river that bends and bends
green along water life returning near
a sudden miracle becoming clear…
