Wednesday! Although it could be any other day considering how confusing it is (for me at least) when your daily activities change so often. No structure really. One day school, the other day no school. Holidays, but nowhere to go *sigh* I’m having a “not so good day”. Oohmmm… it will pass! . . #wednesdayvibes #watercolorspainting #flowerpainting #florcitasart #abstractart #abstractflower #paintpaintpaint #doingthings #doityourway #doitforyou #quarantinelife #mindfulart (at Echt-Susteren) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAseA16jMLY/?igshid=13nbafomuk4sx
“Duraznos en un bowl”- “Peaches in a bowl”. One of my favourite fruits, indeed. Cold and juicy in a warm summer day. Summer! You say… now? In April? It’s not even Eastern yet! I know. But today it’s 25C in The Betherlands. In almost 18 years that I’ve been living here, never has it been this warm and sunny. I even remember a snowy eastern!

Found the perfect little plant pots. Once upon a time espresso cups, which I made in what seems another lifetime. Sgraffitto to decorate. After years of use, now the house baby plants. . . #ceramics #handmadewithlove #vetplanten #sgraffitopottery #quarantinelife #mindfulart #gardenlife #artweinspire #artistlife #greenlife #doingthings #doityourway #doitfortheprocess (at Susteren) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rK_WmjrPX/?igshid=1xslrh0prrrnc
“Quinotos en un bowl” – “Kumquats in a bowl”. I love kumquats. And I love the words both in spanish and english. This is an original painting using watercolors, gouache, watersoluble pencils and collage technique. So vibrant. . . #florcitasart #originalartworks #watercolors #collageart #fruitbowlseries #quarantinelife #doingthings #decorideas #artforsale #blueandorange #kumquat #mindfulart #sketchbook (at Echt-Susteren) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pLYuxDfcL/?igshid=1x83utwy37kmn
Last night I got on the phone with a couple of friends, quarantined far away. There was an underlaying sense of anxiety and uncertainty for the future in our talk. Loneliness too, even if surrounded by others. The virus kept creeping up. They are not dealing very well with this sudden change of pace and way of living. I realized that although I am managing, after all I am quite comfortable at home and I have tons of art supplies, I do miss going to the woods or the freedom to say…hey I do want to go outside and see people today. So to all those who are having a hard time these days, I can’t offer you solutions nor many words of advice, but here is a bouquet of fantasy flowers. From my hands, with a sencere wish of calmness and warmth, to you. This too, shall pass. . . #quarantine #quarantinelife #watercolors #watercolorpainting #flowerpainting #flowerpower #florcitasart #inkdrawing #gouache #mindfulart #mindfulness #doingthings #doitfortheprocess #domoreofwhatyoulove (at Susteren) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-eIUI_oxRS/?igshid=1tlrfzgibvl5x
Speaking of easy crops: redbeets!! I have never had issues with redbeets. And once I learnt you can eat root, stalk AND leaves… I was totally sold!! what else do you want than a crop that can provide so much food for so little effort! If you don’t have a garden with earth, you can try to make one raised bed (1m2) or deep flowerpots. The more ground, the bigger they get. Remolacha in spanish. Give it a try! . . #redbeet #watercolors #watercolorpainting #kitchendecor #decorideas #gouache #mindfulart #gardening #gardenlife #permaculture #growyourownfood #doingthings #doitfortheprocess #dowhatyoulove #painteveryday (at Susteren) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-HuxfgjIao/?igshid=1b9zrdpep5jq2
