I modeled for the life drawing group: Center for the Arts in Bonita Springs Florida today... August 13, 2018. The theme was reading a book and I chose "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran. It had been years since I read it last. Just as mesmerizing this time!

I did this using a zendala downloaded from Erin's website, thebrightowl.blogspot.com/2012/04/zendala-dare-2.html. It was my intention to enter her challenge; but I'm not sure I will now. The reason is there are soooo many mistakes on this one. I might do another one, I have a week! The tangles I used are Paradox, Hollibaugh, Mumsy, and what was supposed to be a "Bumps" variation. When I finished I realized I had done the Bumps all wrong, and on the Mumsy, I got lost while I was drawing it, and I don't think it's a real Mumsy. Oh, well. Live and learn. I'm taking a zentangle class (my first one) next Tuesday, so I'd still have time to do another challenge.
Doing some drawing to get me started on a new surrealist painting and discovered I quite like abstract drawing as well. Weird..

The Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe is buying back from Rinah Alexander Lior of Israel some 75 Expressionist prints, held in eight portfolios, as well as an art book. Ms. Lior is the niece and rightful heir of Dr. Hermann Haymann of Badenweiler, a Jewish doctor who originally owned the works of art.
In 1943 the Kunsthalle acquired a large collection of various books and portfolios of prints and drawings from the regional tax office in Müllheim. Five years earlier, in 1938, Haymann had been forced to pledge these works on paper as security against debts incurred through the Jewish Property Tax and the Reich Flight Tax, which were mandatorily imposed on Jewish citizens by the Nazis. Only by pledging the collection was Haymann thus able to leave Germany for the United States. After the war, this acquisition was properly reported to the US Office of Military Government as a purchase from “Jewish assets” and the artworks were returned to Hermann Haymann in 1951. However, as part of ongoing provenance research at the Kunsthalle Karlsruhe a further eight portfolios and an art book have been found, which were apparently forgotten at the time of the restitution. After determining and locating the rightful owner, they have now been re-acquired by the Kunsthalle.
From 16 April to 3 July 2016, an exhibition will be held in memory of Herrmann Haymann and the fate of Jewish citizens in Baden-Württemberg and will feature this historical accession of works on paper.
Erworben aus „jüdischem Vermögen“
Grafische Blätter der Sammlung Haymann
16. April - 17. Juli 2016
Die Kunsthalle hat im Jahr 1943 ein großes Konvolut an Büchern und Grafikmappen vom Finanzamt Müllheim erworben. Der jüdische Arzt und Kunstsammler Hermann Haymann aus Badenweiler musste die Papierarbeiten 1938 verpfänden, um mit dem Erlös die Judenvermögensabgabe und die bei seiner Ausreise aus Deutschland in die USA obligatorisch zu leistende Reichsfluchtsteuer zu begleichen. Nach dem Krieg wurde diese Erwerbung ordnungsgemäß bei der US -amerikanischen Militärregierung als Ankauf aus „jüdischem Vermögen“ gemeldet und die Kunstwerke 1951 an Hermann Haymann restituiert. Im Rahmen der Provenienzforschung wurden acht Grafikmappen mit 75 expressionistischen Druckgrafiken und ein Kunstbuch gefunden, die man damals offenbar vergessen hat.
Es ist gelungen, die rechtmäßige Erbin nach Hermann Haymann zu ermitteln. Frau Rina Lior Alexander aus Israel ist seine Nichte und letzte noch lebende Verwandte. Da sie auf eine Rücknahme der Kunstwerke verzichtet hat, wurden sie nun von der Kunsthalle zurückgekauft.
Diesem besonderen Sammlungszugang wird vom 16. April bis 3. Juli 2016 eine Ausstellung gewidmet, um die Erinnerung an Herrmann Haymann und das Schicksal der Juden in Baden -Württemberg zu wahren.

The foundation of the collection consists of 205 mostly French and Dutch paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries which Margravine Karoline Luise acquired 1759-1776. From this collection originate significant works, such as The portrait of a young man by Frans van Mieris the Elder, The winter landscape with lime kiln of Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, The Lacemaker by Gerard Dou, the Still Life with hunting equipment and dead partridge of Willem van Aelst, The Peace in the Chicken yard by Melchior de Hondecoeter as well as a self-portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn. In addition, four still lifes of Jean Siméon Chardin and two pastoral scenes by François Boucher, having been commissioned directly by the Marchioness from artists.
A first significant expansion the museum received in 1858 by the collection of canon Johann Baptist von Hirscher (1788-1865) with works of religious art of the 15th and 16th centuries. This group includes works such as two tablets of the Sterzinger altar and the wing fragment The sacramental blessing of Bartholomew Zeitblom. From 1899 to 1920, the native of Baden painter Hans Thoma held the position of Director of the Kunsthalle. He acquired old masterly paintings as the tauberbischofsheim altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald and drove the expansion of the collection with art of the 19th century forward. Only his successors expanded the holdings of the Art Gallery with works of Impressionism and the following generations of artists.
The permanent exhibition in the main building includes approximately 800 paintings and sculptures. Among the outstanding works of art of the Department German painters of the late Gothic and Renaissance are the Christ as Man of Sorrows by Albrecht Dürer, the Carrying of the Cross and the Crucifixion by Matthias Grünewald, Maria with the Child by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the portrait of Sebastian Brant by Hans Burgkmair the elder and The Nativity of Hans Baldung. Whose Margrave panel due to property disputes in 2006 made it in the headlines and also led to political conflicts. One of the biggest buying successes which a German museum in the postwar period was able to land concerns the successive acquisition of six of the seven known pieces of a Passion altar in 1450 - the notname of the artist after this work "Master of the Karlsruhe Passion" - a seventh piece is located in German public ownership (Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne).
In the department of Dutch and Flemish paintings of the 16th century can be found, in addition to the aforementioned works, the portrait of the Marchesa Veronica Spinola Doria by Peter Paul Rubens, Moses strikes the rock and water flows for the thirsty people of Israel of Jacob Jordaens, the still life with kitchen tools and foods of Frans Snyders, the village festival of David Teniers the younger, the still life with lemon, oranges and filled clay pot by Willem Kalf, a Young couple having breakfast by Gabriel Metsu, in the bedroom of Pieter de Hooch, the great group of trees at the waterfront of Jacob Izaaksoon van Ruisdael, a river landscape with a milkmaid of Aelbert Jacobsz. Cuyp as well as a trompe-l'œil still life of Samuel van Hoogstraten.
Further examples of French paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries are, the adoration of the golden calf of Claude Lorrain, preparations for dance class of the Le Nain brothers, the portrait of Marshal Charles-Auguste de Matignon by Hyacinthe Rigaud, the portrait of a young nobleman in hunting costume of Nicolas de Largillière, The storm of Claude Joseph Vernet and The minuet of Nicolas Lancret. From the 19th century can be found with Rocky wooded valley at Civita Castellana by Gustave Courbet, The Lamentation of Eugène Delacroix, the children portrait Le petit Lange of Édouard Manet, the portrait of Madame Jeantaud by Edgar Degas, the landscape June morning near Pontoise by Camille Pissarro, homes in Le Pouldu Paul Gauguin and views to the sea at L'Estaque by Paul Cézanne further works of French artists at Kunsthalle.
One focus of the collection is the German painting and sculpture of the 19th century. From Joseph Anton Koch, the Kunsthalle possesses a Heroic landscape with rainbow, from Georg Friedrich Kersting the painting The painter Gerhard Kügelgen in his studio, from Caspar David Friedrich the landscape rocky reef on the sea beach and from Karl Blechen view to the Monastery of Santa Scolastica. Other important works of this department are the disruption of Adolph Menzel as well as the young self-portrait, the portrait Nanna Risi and The Banquet of Plato of Anselm Feuerbach.
For the presentation of the complex of oeuvres by Hans Thoma, a whole wing in 1909 at the Kunsthalle was installed. Main oeuvres of the arts are, for example, the genre picture The siblings as well as, created on behalf of the grand-ducal family, Thoma Chapel with its religious themes.
Of the German contemporaries of Hans Thoma, Max Liebermann on the beach of Noordwijk and Lovis Corinth with a portrait of his wife in the museum are represented. Furthermore the Kunsthalle owns works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Carl Spitzweg, Arnold Böcklin, Hans von Marées, Wilhelm Leibl, Fritz von Uhde, Wilhelm Trübner and Max Klinger.
In the building of the adjacent Orangerie works of the collection and new acquisitions from the years after 1952 can be seen. In two integrated graphics cabinets the Kupferstichkabinett (gallery of prints) gives insight into its inventory of contemporary art on paper. From the period after 1945, the works Arabs with footprints by Jean Dubuffet, Sponge Relief RE 48; Sol. 1960 by Yves Klein, Honoring the square: Yellow center of Josef Albers, the cityscape F by Gerhard Richter and the Fixe idea by Georg Baselitz in the Kunsthalle. The collection of classical modernism wandered into the main building. Examples of paintings from the period to 1945 are The Eiffel Tower by Robert Delaunay, the Improvisation 13 by Wassily Kandinsky, Deers in the Forest II by Franz Marc, People at the Blue lake of August Macke, the self-portrait The painter of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the Merzpicture 21b by Kurt Schwitters, the forest of Max Ernst, Tower gate II by Lyonel Feininger, the Seven Deadly Sins of Otto Dix and the removal of the Sphinxes by Max Beckmann. In addition, the museum regularly shows special exhibitions.
Sammlung
Den Grundstock der Sammlung bilden 205 meist französische und niederländische Gemälde des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts, welche Markgräfin Karoline Luise zwischen 1759 und 1776 erwarb. Aus dieser Sammlung stammen bedeutende Arbeiten, wie das Bildnis eines jungen Mannes von Frans van Mieris der Ältere, die Winterlandschaft mit Kalkofen von Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, Die Spitzenklöpplerin von Gerard Dou, das Stillleben mit Jagdgeräten und totem Rebhuhn von Willem van Aelst, Der Friede im Hühnerhof von Melchior de Hondecoeter sowie ein Selbstbildnis von Rembrandt van Rijn. Hinzu kommen vier Stillleben von Jean Siméon Chardin und zwei Schäferszenen von François Boucher, die die Markgräfin bei Künstlern direkt in Auftrag gegeben hatte.
Eine erste wesentliche Erweiterung erhielt das Museum 1858 durch die Sammlung des Domkapitulars Johann Baptist von Hirscher (1788–1865) mit Werken religiöser Kunst des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts. Zu dieser Gruppe gehören Werke wie zwei Tafeln des Sterzinger Altars und das Flügelfragment Der sakramentale Segen von Bartholomäus Zeitblom. Von 1899 bis 1920 bekleidete der aus Baden stammende Maler Hans Thoma die Position des Direktors der Kunsthalle. Er erwarb altmeisterliche Gemälde wie den Tauberbischofsheimer Altar von Matthias Grünewald und trieb den Ausbau der Sammlung mit Kunst des 19. Jahrhunderts voran. Erst seine Nachfolger erweiterten die Bestände der Kunsthalle um Werke des Impressionismus und der folgenden Künstlergenerationen.

Swamp kauri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swamp kauri, sometimes marketed as "ancient kauri", is prehistoric kauri trees (Agathis australis), buried and preserved in peat up to 50,000 years ago in New Zealand's North Island. Buried under a peat swamp by an unexplained act of nature at the end of the last Ice Age, the trees have survived the centuries underground, sealed in a chemically balanced environment that has preserved the timber in perfect condition.
The trees grew for nearly 2000 years before they were buried. Some have a girth of around 40 feet, and a total height of nearly 200 feet.
Only the lower trunk section and ball root structure is predominantly found. The trunk tends to taper to a "V" shape as the portion of the log lying above ground has decayed to ground level. Some logs are on a 20 degree angle into the ground suggesting they have fallen over with force, probably under a larger tree that has fallen on to it. For this reason complete round logs lying deeper in the ground are occasionally found.
Extraction of the logs is time consuming, expensive and technically difficult requiring skilled operators of heavy machinery. Working in wet conditions each log must be carefully brought to the surface. After the log has been removed, the area is then restored to its original contours.
The extracted kauri has become an alternative source for old-growth wood supply and often finds its way to furniture builders, boat makers, and wood artisans.
A trademark of swamp kauri is deep, shimmering streaks of iridescence, called white bait, found in some of the wilder grain patterns. This particular grain is named after schools of New Zealand whitebait fish that emit a similar pattern when swimming in one direction.
I had to dig out this pen and ink drawing after "Old Coyote" told me that he did not like wolves! I worked exclusively with ink from 1995 - 2001 before turning to watercolors. I see that this was my second year of learning the gestures and methods of ink. This was done entirely with a very small brush. I never worked with pencil lines because I wanted to learn brush facility with a certain degree of freedom. (About 10 x10 inches on a smooth drawing paper. The model was from a wildlife magazine.) Although we do have coyotes a stone's throw from where I sit writing this comment, I have never seen one. I saw my first fox in a grove a couple of years ago, although they too are abundant. The coyotes are kind of new to this part of Minnesota, but their numbers are increasing I hear.)
Here's my first attempt at drawing a dragon head.
It's pretty much a simple japanese style dragon. I obviously had some trouble with the scales, but once I iron out those issues, it should be pretty easy. So far though I think my first effort isn't too bad.
Drawn on my iPod Touch using the Brushes app and a Pogo Sketch stylus.
This one was more of a construction than a drawing. I have a hard time making a clean black line in Brushes. Usually I get a ragged line that's 2 or 3 pixels wide and I have to undo or go in with white and attempt to clean up the line. Very laborious! It was a good lesson.
Life drawing class lesson number two.
I'm hoping that it will show as time goes on that I'm improving.
I know what i'm gonna do next week. Gonna choose a harder pencil.
These were done with an 8b
Hope you like my little present!!! (this time I'm not late XP) also I hope u have a great day with friends and family! have a good day Abbie! thank you so much for being such a LOVELY friend! :D
I drew this on the flight from Grand Junction to San Francisco. I started drawing it in row #8 from GJ to Salt Lake, then flew on the same plane from Salt Lake to San Francisco in row 3, hence the exit row sign in row 3...
