#the100dayproject 2018 Days 51-100

I really had fun with this year’s project! And I really made a page every day. I loved seeing nature further unfold in May and June for the second part of the project and tried a couple of new techniques. Hand painted watercolour was my go-to-technique, but I also tried tighter illustration styles and some… Read More

#the100DayProject 2018 Days 1-50

It’s the third year in a row I am taking part in the worldwide #100dayproject. After last year’s digital explorations on the iPad I went back to paper and handmade. I chose a topic I wanted to further practice and that are an eternal classic – flowers. And I even though I love them and… Read More

My Moods Movie

Last Sunday was the last day of my summer vacation and totally incidentally also the last day of my 100-day-project. Some say it takes 21 days to form a new habit, others say 28 or 66 days. So 100 days are plenty! I started on April 27 2016 and painted my 100 days all through… Read More

Daily Moods – Halftime

This morning I painted my 50th morning mood of my 100-day-project. So I thought it was time for a little update since I started the project a good 1,5 months ago. I am still doing them. Every single morning. Never missed once (ok, I missed one weekend when I forgot to take my art supplies… Read More

100 Days of Daily Moods

About three weeks ago a lot of posts started showing up in my Instagram feed with people announcing their coming #the100dayproject, starting the next day on April 19. I had heard about the project before, thinking you can start doing it anytime (which you can do, of course!), but this time it was announced by… Read More

Over the course of the year we have painted in her studio (a lot!), in the sunshine in my garden, together with little painters and just by ourselves. We had… Read More

Hello December!

So we have come to the last page of Claras Calender of 2015 today: And we have already had the first snow of this season on November 22. Only a couple of centimeters and most of it melted on the ground straightaway. But as you might imagine, the girls were very excited on that Sunday… Read More

Deep November

November is definitely a special month. Not only because my younger daughter’s birthday is at the end of it and a lot of November is spent talking about how many nights there are still left to sleep before her big day arrives. November itself is a mysterious month to me, a time for retreat, contemplation,… Read More

Blue Moments – Water and Sky

If you know me a bit through my blog, work or personally, you might have noticed how much I am drawn to the colour pink. Our vacation on Mallorca had its pink moments for sure, but one colour was predominant there – blue. I would like to share a couple of these blue moments, that… Read More

I am off to some early Easter holidaying ☀️🌼☀️

It will not be quite as warm and tropical and bikini-weather like as for @juliadeniraco in @vavea_bikini (with a print of mine 🌴🌺👙)

Still - a lot of vitamin sea will be involved for sure 🌊 and I might be posting a bit here and there, but mostly I will go with the flow. Sea you!

Straight out of my sketchbook - ‘Doodle Jungle’ for French brand @lafianceeofficiel 

I love how they worded their brand story - it draws inspiration from its many travels across the globe and infuses it in its collections with their vibrant prints. They strive to share the principals of a joyful and constantly changing/travelling femininity in which feeling good and having a great time is of utmost importance. 

Travel, vibrancy, joy and femininity - I have one more print with them coming 🌴🌸💫

That’s how it goes - I painted this tropical art That’s how it goes - I painted this tropical artwork in wintery Northern Germany about this time three years ago, made it into a repeating pattern, licensed it to Swedish brand @brightswimwear in July last year, they launched it on swimwear as part of their ‘Hearts on Fire’ collection a month ago, and now it is already hitting the beaches of Hawaii, Florida and Australia. We have had quite a bit of snow here in Northern Germany recently 😉
