Miss Doodle's Painting Tools

Sleeping-Bag-Coats

Miss Doodle thinks that these coats women wear everywhere this year, they look like modified sleeping bags.....

Last time we spoke...

it was SUMMER! Now it's WINTER and it snows in Paris.... So what is better than a nice warm winter coat?

Miss Doodle is warming up for more blogging:)

Miss Doodle - en garde!

EN GARDE !

Heat is pouring down on Miss Doodle and Friends

Miss Doodle has translucent skin.

Miss Doodle can't help it, instead of watching the news and going mad about what's happening everywhere in this world, she pulls out her colors and goes to work....

Quicumque vult.....

Miss Doodle is back and dancing in the rain with her secretary. She read a book during her vacation, about a (fable says the church:) woman who reigned as Pope in 850 AD (approx). While reading, she doodles these two guys into her notebook.

She didn't get the words right, the correct words are: QUICUMQUE VULT.... which is part of a catholic doctrine (about 320 AD) which said that you will NOT be saved if you do not follow the catholic religion. I'm banalizing, of course. Just so you know that we're back here, too:)

You already have seen this picture of the benedictine cloister, the first one in this travel journal, I just added three sketches of a nun's habits

This is what you see when you look up in the St. Salvator Cathedral, an impressive dome with wonderful paintings in the four corners

The Rotunda under the Church of St. Michael, looking mysterious and bathed in a very special light...

Voilà, this is it, we hope you enjoyed the tour! Have a wonderful week!

Le voyage de Miss Doodle à Fulda en Allemagne -Miss Doodle's Journey to Fulda, Germany

Have been busy finishing a Miss Doodle painting which will hopefully enter a show in a Museum in Fulda, Germany, beginning of next month. The painting was finished on Tuesday evening, at the last possible minute, and I forgot to take a picture! I hope to get one from the friendly curator who is a good friend of mine. Miss Doodle will have to appear in front of a jury TODAY and I hope she will show herself from her best side:).

The painting is a sort of "carnet de voyage", a Travel-Journal, 75 x 50cm / 30 x 20 in., many different scenes with views of interesting places in this town and little commentaries, Miss Doodle Style...

I hope that I'll be soon able to get a picture and show it to you. A big hug for everybody!
Have a great weekend!


Alors. Voilà ce qui s'est passé ces derniers temps. J'ai dessiné pour une expo en Allemagne, à Fulda, sur le sujet "relations" dans le cadre de "la semaine de la femme". Le dessin a été fini en dernière minute (arrrg pourquoi c'est comme ça je n'en sais rien mais les meilleures idées viennent souvent à la fin). Donc. Le dessin a été envoyé en dernière minute, le coin en bas à droite seché avec le sèche-cheveux:)
C'est un carnet de voyage, une aquarelle 50x 75 cm sur papier Arche, avec pleins de scénettes et de commentaires très Miss Doodle-èsques, avec entre autre un défilé de mode très baroque!!!

Et voilà que j'ai oublié d'en faire une photo, mince alors. C'est antiprofessionnel ça, comme attitude. J'espère que j'aurais quand même l'occasion de vous le montrer bientôt.

En attendant, espérons que le jury, qui se retrouve aujourd'hui pour sélectionner les 70 oeuvres qui vont participer à l'expo, dans un musée, aime Miss Doodle comme vous l'aimer:)

Bisous à tous et bon weekend!

Wednesday Dec. 3rd, 2008 - Miss Doodle sightseeing with friends

Artist Mike introduced the secretary to Ms. Esmeralda and Ms. Ermintrude and the secretary told Miss Doodle about them. So Miss Doodle invited the two "Mses" to a Paris sightseeing tour and while they were heading to the Eiffeltower, the secretary took a picture!

In the morning the sheep and Miss Doodle had been to the coiffeur (that is why Esmeralda and Ermintrude may look a bit like giant poodles) and here they are, all dressed up, looking glamorous.

Monday, Dec. 1st, 2008 - Looking for inspiration

Miss Doodle does nothing at the moment. Empty easel, empty canvas, empty mind. Everything's empty, except the notebook. The notebook is the artist's survival kit in NOTHING TIMES.

award !

Miss Doodle will be back very soon now, in the meantime she wanted to thank Suki for this Award which is for (Quote Suki:)

"This award is given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing (I am adding in art work)...that's the general idea. "

Will be back soon to send it off to 15 (wow, 15) friends:), but if we wait too long, every friend will allready have one, so we apologize in advance if that happens:)

Happy Greetings

the secretary
