Schweizer Garten October – with a very large “tree garden”
I wanted to portray a really large “garden” for the October issue of “Schweizer Garten” and was delighted to paint Ueli Meier, in charge of the forest/woodlands of Basel and Baselland. The beautiful autumn colours of the leaves and Ueli’s fascinating challenges made this a very interesting meeting! Gartenstil_Oktober

4. Fricktaler Highlandgames
I decided to give myself a new artistic challenge on Sunday, and attended the Highlandgames in Wallbach to try and capture some of the events on paper. Having painted ballet dancers moving for about 5 years now, I thought some heavy duty male action would be an interesting antidote. However, how does one capture WEIGHT in a painting? I can do lightness of foot, music, but HEAVY was a new one. Here are some of the results (of course, should you wish to buy one, they are all on sale and I would be delighted to give a painting a happy home)

The event with the Soroptimist Internations Liestal in the Schöni Sache Art Gallery was a very enjoyable evening, giving Heinke Torpus and myself the opportunity to show how we work and how we have portrayed each other. Such fun! And wonderful to have such an artistic friend! see more of Heinke’s work on her website: www.heinketorpus.ch See what the Soroptimists are up to on: www.soroptimist-liestal.ch
