Miss Doodle's Summer
Miss Doodle s'invente des paysages, des endroits enchantés où il fait bon "être". C'est l'été, il fait beau, l'air est frais, les champs sont dorés, les arbres verts, les pierres sont chaudes et pleines de lumière. Les oiseaux chantent.Le bonheur, si simple, depuis toujours.
Miss Doodle imagines landscapes, enchanted scenes where it's good to "be".It is summer, the weather is nice, the air is fresh, fields are golden and the trees green, the stones are hot and full of light. The birds sing. Happyness has always been simple.

Quicumque vult.....
©estandrea 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:)

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!

Mardi 17 février 2009 - Le Troll du Métro - Metro Bogey - Metrobold

Oh yes, Miss Doodle knows them well! They disguise as normal people, but as soon as they come near you, they transform. To big, cumbersome things.
Oh oui, Miss Doodle les connait bien. Ils se déguisent en gens normaux mais dés qu'ils s'approchent de vous, ils se transforment. En gros machins encombrants.

Wednesday January 28th - Benedictine Abbey / Abbaye Bénédictine
Miss Doodle's Secretary is working on two very different paintings for an entry in an exhibition in Germany in March this year. Miss Doodle presents you a sneek preview:)Miss Doodle visiting the Benedictine Abbey St. Mary in Fulda, Germany.
La secrétaire de Miss Doodle travaille sur deux peintures très différentes en vue d'une exposition en Allemagne au mois de mars. Miss Doodle vous présente une "sneak preview":
Miss Doodle en visite à l'Abbaye Bénédictine St. Marie à Fulda en Allemagne.
St. Mary's Abbey is a Benedictine nunnery in Fulda, Hesse, Germany.
It was founded in 1626. Its first decades were very troubled as a result of the Thirty Years' War: the sisters often had to flee from enemy troops and the abbey was looted several times.
The nunnery was able to evade destruction during the secularisation of 1802 by turning itself into a girls' school. During the Kulturkampf, the sisters went into exile in France from 1875 to 1887. In 1898, the nunnery was elevated to the status of abbey. In 1942, although most religious houses in Germany were commandeered by the National Socialists, the nuns were able to avoid eviction by offering the use of most of the premises to the Wehrmacht.
After becoming closer in their way of life over a period of many years to the Beuronese Congregation within the Benedictine Confederation, the abbey finally became a member in 1982.
The nuns engage in various handicrafts, run the abbey shop and have built a compost activator.
L'abbaye bénédictine de Fulda fut fondée pour la mission dans le Nord de la Germanie. Elle prit son essor après 754 lorsqu'elle devint, en étant le lieu de la sépulture de St Boniface, une sorte de sanctuaire national pour les Germains. Une grande basilique fut construite, entre 791 et 819, sur le modèle de St-Pierre de Rome dont l'influence était grande à Fulda.
L'école de Fulda commença de devenir florissante sous Charlemagne et Alcuin et elle fut développée par Raban Maure. Connue alors dans toute l'Europe, elle apporta au monde germanique les oeuvres de l'Antiquité et les commentaires des Ecritures.

Sorry, we haven't been able to let you know what we were up to, yesterday. A lot of things had to be organized. (Don't worry, the Friday Fashion Page will be back next week!)
Miss Doodle is in New York for a few days, she has to take pictures of this wonderful city. She is staying at Ritz Carlton Battery Park, she has a Deluxe City View Room.
This is the view from her room at night on New York Harbour and the Statue of Liberty. Now, isn't she the luckiest of all girls?

Es tut uns leid, dass wir uns heute erst wieder melden, wir hatten zuviel zu tun mit der Vorbereitung von Miss Doodles Kurztrip nach New York. Sie macht eine Photoreportage über diese wundervolle Stadt und wohnt im Ritz Carlton, Battery Park. Sie hat ein Super Luxus Zimmer mit Blick auf die Freiheitsstatue und New York Harbour...
Ist Miss Doodle nicht beneidenswert?
