Animal Wednesday / Art on Wednesday

 Last year I started this painting on my Wednesday art class
 Something completely different than I am used to paint.
I studied pictures, clouds and worked without color!!!!
 I started painting the skyline of Rotterdam
The city where I was born and raised
 Can't tell you what a struggle those clouds were

But I managed to get them to my satisfaction
And this is the result: the skyline of my hometown
(120 x 30 cm /  47,2 x 11,8")
And here are Mrs. Jobse and Guus two of the three dogs who are always there on Wednesday.

Happy Animal Wednesday!

  3. It's a dream, it's wonderful and terrific and more. I love the clouds...always have loved that painting and now that you have added the city - it's outstanding. one of my goals is to paint clouds - I like your idea of only using B&W - this is just gorgeous.

  7. It's beautiful! I'm so used to your mandalas that I didn't realize you painted in other forms. Isn't it fun to do something different than you normally do? I so much enjoyed the collage I made for the recycle show.

  8. Holy Smokes, Marianne! This is so beautiful and so BIG! I would never attempt to do something of this scale but you did it marvelously! I enlarged and stared at each and every little thing. Very nice.
