“Hi Paula, I love your drawings and looking at them I can really feel the quiet moments and simple pleasures we can get from nature. Very calming, indeed! Many thanks”.

“You are a wonderfully talented artist Paula with a beautiful technique for making tender images that warm my heart to look at. Thank you”

“Paula, like you I love nature but you have an amazing capacity to capture nature at it’s best with your wonderful drawings. My best wishes for your continued success – people will fall in love with your wonderful talent”.

“The detail shown in the drawing of the Tawny Owl is amazing. This is another amazing piece from your Collection. Warm regards”

“Paula, I loved your nature arts. I do like stumbling upon feathers once in a while and collect them for their beauty. They seem like magical gifts from nature”.

On an ideal day, after home schooling my daughter, I have plenty of time to draw. The clock doesn’t seem to tick…..the day will last forever. Inspired by teaching the Great Masters, I start a new oil painting, carefully preparing it with a white-black under layer, time to start cooking is still far away.

Christmas-Happy Holidays Cards

(my Christmas-Happy Holiday Fine Art Card, my Gift-cards, old church-books, German herbal bouquet, Korean decoration and Italian fabric)

There is even enough time to toy with my camera.

How does your ideal day look like? You need 48 or 72 hours extra in a day?

A Handwritten Note

Click to enlarge

.

Such wonderful treasure: The Art of the Handwritten Note, a guide to reclaiming civilized communication by Margaret Shepherd. This valuable book provides us with inspiration for writing letters and notes, as well as small thank you cards, shown here attached on a Korean Celadon flower vase with Dutch Tulips.

Vermeer’s ‘Girl reading a letter at an open window’ (circa 1659) tells us that despite the open window, that invites noises of playing children, dogs or chickens in the yard, in the room, a handwritten note captures the devoted attention of the girl. For a brief moment, the reader is drawn into the world of the writer. While we read letters, we hear the voices of the writers in our heads and hearts.

Don’t we all need a bit of enchantment, a show of friendship, or, like my Pheasant Feather card, a sign of appreciation?

We are approaching the Christmas and the Happy Holidays season. Refill your ink pens, and prepare your desk for a few hours of delightful, mindfully writing handwritten notes and cards.

Holly (Ilex aquifolium)

The phrase ‘Happy Holidays’ is often used as a generic cover-all greeting that includes Christmas, New Year’s Day, Chinese New Year, Thanksgivings, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.

Holly is an evergreen tree that is native to most of the central and southern parts of Europe and grows in North America as well. Holly is one of the most striking features in winter gardens. This branch, that I’ve drawn, comes from our garden.

Holly branches make wonderful centrepieces or winter decorations for any table top, however, be careful with children: the berries are very toxic.
