Daraus Heraus

Just finished this abstract painting last week - it comes out of an drawing experiment in common with Pen:

We had a working session this year in July, preparing for a chain of little video sketches! (To be realized, as soon as Pen returns from her artist residency in Colorado.)

Back in Grillon's Cabin - Welcome anytime!

Grillon brought back these arabic words while driving through Iran and Pakistan to reach India.

Most colours withstood the winter, except the "Allahu Akbar" painting with casein tempera on cement. So i gave it a new coating of egg tempera. Let's see if it survives till next summer.

Everybody is invited to participate in the Poya* painting. It's eihter possible to add an animal painted by yourself (with or without help) or giving me the order to paint it. The alpaca named Shakespeare is still missing. It will hopefully be finished next year.

*Poya: french for cows, goats and other farm animals that climb up to the alps in a row to remain during the summertime and eat good herbs.

This summer they built up two Yourts

This is one of the two yourts, right next to the cabin. 

It is dedicated to the Vacherin Fribourgeois who supported this purchase.

The tipical "fribourgese" cows look like goats though, i think i was inspired by the six goats that walked around... :-)
