#USkVirtual

Virtual sketchwalks in the times of lockdown 🙂

It’s been so nice to sketch in Paris 🙂
Even after having lost the first panorama on Google Street View after 30 minutes, having tried to find it again for the next 45 and then deciding to sketch a completely new view 🙂
Decided to go there for real and sketch around when all is over 🙂

As some sketcher has recently told me: „You‘re never to late for a virtual sketchwalk“
Nunca se llega tarde a un paseo virtual

A virtual sketchwalk

Yesterday I went on a virtual sketchwalk around Amsterdam, organised by NYC Sketchers. It was such a great fun. And I learned something new: for the first time in my life I used Google Street Maps :)))

Bird of Paradise

Thanks to the inspiration from NYC Urban Sketchers I’ve virtually visited New York Botanical Gardens today and spotted this wonderful Bird of Paradise flower

Walking

The rhythm of walking somehow induces the flow of verses.
So here is another walking piece:

I went and went
Without an end
Through fields and up the hill,
So welcome was the wind‘s embrace,
The world around stood still,
I felt the chill upon my face
As if a crisp caress of lace.
And as my soul felt deaf and mute,
Wind played tree crowns like a lute
To solace me in solitude,
The skies were blue, the sunshine bright,
My sorrow turned into delight,
But even so the parting‘s pain
Shall in my heart forever remain.

Те наши странные танцы…

«Это только наши танцы на грани весны…»

Почти задыхаясь от боли,
Должна я себе признаться, –
Ну, что же, такая доля,
Что мы разминулись с тобою
Во времени и пространстве –
Навеки, непоправимо…
Амура шальная пуля опять пролетела мимо,
Мгновенье – неуловимо,
Нельзя умолить остаться,
Но будто в замЕршем кадре
На грани весны все длятся,
Заставкой в кинотеатре,
Те наши странные танцы…

Van Gogh meets Cezanne

#nycurbansketchers

Participating in the Stayathome Project of New York Urban Sketchers I‘ ve virtually visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC today.

The Challenge is to combine two pictures. In mine L‘Arlesienne by Van Gogh sits at the table with the Dish of Apples by Paul Cezanne

Fruits

I‘ve dabbled into

a new (all new is well forgotten old) medium: Pastel

while listening to the stream of „La fille du regiment“ “ from the Metropolitan Opera (such a great experience! )
