Drawing: charcoal on canvas
Title: Untitled, from the Penumbra series, 2019
Artist ; Danja Akulin (1977)
Danja Akulin wants to make drawings that look like paintings. Layer by layer, he applies his charcoal in every direction, creating painterly relief on the canvas.
The artist himself:
"I tried out all sorts of disciplines, before I realized I could express a lot more in pencil or charcoal than I could with brush and pint. By working on a large scale, I stress the fact that my drawings are autonomous works a lot".
Akulin is interested in the interplay of light and dark, or 'Penumbra'. This is the title of a series of drawings, with landscapes in what appears to be moonlight or a solar eclipse.
The artist views these as conceptual works, in which black stands for the darkest emotions and white the lightest.
Here you see more of this series:
Museum MORE, Gorssel, The Netherlands, had last year an interesting exhibition called 'Size Matters | Monumental Drawings', where you could see dozens of large-scale and imposing drawings. All these works of art measure at least 2 meters in height of width, larger than most people themselves.
I visited this exhibition, just a day before it ended and was quite impressed. I will show you a few works. Enjoy ;-))

Title: Urban Spring 2
Artist: Katrin Günther (1970)
Museum MORE, Gorssel, The Netherlands, had last year an interesting exhibition called 'Size Matters | Monumental Drawings', where you could see dozens of large-scale and imposing drawings. All these works of art measure at least 2 meters in height of width, larger than most people themselves.

Katrin Günther makes dizzying drawings of imaginary architectonic landscapes: both two-dimensional(ink on paper) and spatial (using virtual reality).
This work is not framed, just stuck to the wall. That explains the shadow on the bottom.
The artist herself:
"The spaces and landscapes that surround us, shape us and direct our thoughts and our actions. In my work I explore these spaces and the relationships between them. Perspective and extra large formats are very important here: we need to be sucked into the picture.
As I draw, I imagine what it would be like to stare down from the mountains and terraces in my drawings into the gaping depths.Virtual reality has therefore enabled me to fulfill a long-held desire: to experience my own drawings physically."

Hans de Wit (1952) starts his drawings by setting down a finely meshed grid of dots, "to get hold of the larger scale. The scale makes the drawing a physical 'opponent': it overwhelms you physically and psychologically. Being able to take the whole thing from a distance and experiencing motifs, details and structures at close range are crucial my work".
After reading this text, I decided to take a few close-ups so you can see the dots and other details much better.
Tomorrow I will show you the complete version of the Toad. Now you can use your own imagination, if you want, about how it will look like. ;-))

Drawing: Pastel and charcoal on paper
Title: Change of Scenery, 2016
Artist: Hans de Wit (1952)
Hans de Wit very much likes ambiguity.
The artist himself:
"I always told my students that rather than drawing a bicycle, it's much more interesting to draw something bicycle-like."
In this drawing, a bird-like creature seems to enter into a relationship with a veiled spaceship. The artist refers to "a laurel-covered 'mother form', a mental mating, under a cloud of thick mist with a full moon.

Title: Kitchen at Night (2006)
Artist: Pietsjanke Fokkema (1960)
Pietsjanke Fokkema ived by the docks at IJmuiden, The Netherlands, for ten years and had a big studio with the space for large-scale drawings.
i was impressed, such a large drawing with only using a pencil!Please zoom in and discover the animals ;-))
The artist herself:
"When I had to move, I started to draw my old kitchen in IJmuiden out of nostalgia. Drawing was a way of processing and letting go of the place.
'Kitchen at Night" is all about that: my beloved kitchen, with its magnificent view of the harbour, is threatened by a dark sky and all sorts of vermin. As you look at the drawing, you gradually start to make out more and more unusual things, from ants in a draining board to bats on the ceiling."

Drawing: Pastel on paper
Title: Armada
Artist: Jacobien de Wit (1947)
Coastal landscapes and tidal pool in many layers of velvety pastel dominate in Jacobien de Rooi's work. She always bases her drawings on fragments of nature she has seen at first hand.
The artist herself:
"Somewhere on the east coast of Donegal in Ireland, there's small beach with a big history. A ship from the Spanish Armada was wrecked here. The place is dotted with an unbelievable variety of rocks in the most unlikely colors and shapes. A large outcrop seems to float on a thin layer of water. And beneath the water, the different colors of the rocks shimmer. The large scale of my landscapes gives them an inescapable presence."

Drawing: Pastel and charcoal on paper
Ttile: Toad, 2012
Artist: Hans de Wit (1952)
As promised the complete version of the Toad. Yesterday I uploaded a triptych with details of this drawing (see first comment box).
Does it correspond to how you imagined the toad would look like? Curious to know ;-))
The artist himself:
"Conflicting feelings such as attraction and aversion are an essential part of my work. Manipulation of the natural scale of the motifs plays a part in this, as the gigantic toad in this drawing.
The animals white eye is as the centre: you can't escape its gaze.
The toad pushes an army of spheres underwater: bollards (mooring posts), as sentries in armor, guarding the gate. Strands of little eggs and a cloud of frogspawn float through the air."
Hans de Wit makes swirling drawings of a dystopian universe. You can gaze endlessly at the anthropomorphic inhabitants, the ambiguous, entangled objects and unexpected realistic details.

Title: Untitled (Inner Circle, Onomatopoeia Zoo), 2016
Artist: Charles Avery (1973)
Another architectonic drawing, quite different than the precious work od art (see first comment box), I showed you yesterday.
(There is a strange reflection on the right side go this photo, guess it's from a drawing on the opposite wall. Sorry for that.)
Since 2004, Charles Avery, has dedicated himself to the invention of an imaginary island.
He continues to chart new corners through (large-scale) drawings, sculptures, texts and ephemera.
The Island is a vividly realized fiction, teeming with sights both strange and strangely familiar. The gateway is Onomatopoeia. Once the stopping-off point for the first pioneers, it transformed into a metropolis, including a zoo.
For Avery 'The Island' operates as a petri dish in which he tests ideas from the fields of epistemology, aesthetics, mathematics, economics, anthropology, architecture and beyond: "The Island is gymnasium for the imagination and an earnest attempt to align the experience of the viewer with that of the artist."

Title: Skog, 2003
Artist: Eric Odijk (1959)
Primeval forests, tree roots, stones and lichens: Eric Odijk drawings reflect his boundless fascination for nature and the sublime.
The artist himself:
"To me, it's a political issue, because the attacks on nature have been disturbing for decades already.
'Skog' documents a primeval forest in Sweden - an isolated region in the middle of a desert of commercial forestry.
I drew it as a winter world thawing in the slow spring.The large scale of my work is crucial to what I want to express: the sublime sense of coming home to nature, as I feel while out walking. The sublime challenges us to confront what surpasses out understanding."

Drawing: mixed crayon on cheesecloth
Title: Carrying Self-Portrait, 2024
Artist: Lise Sore (1986)
Lise Sore's gigantic self portraits focus on extreme, universal human emotions.
The artist self:
"Emotions can overwhelm me. I began to document myself by taking pictures while experiencing different emotions, to try to understand what was going on inside of me. By transposing the photographs into very large-scale drawings, I can re-immerse myself in the emotion. The large format is essential, as it allows me to analyse every detail of the image and feeling. The support moves, it's transparent, and you can't erase what you've done. It's a slow, but liberating process."
Sore cropped their own hair, so that nothing would distract from the facial expression and posture.

Thanks a lot for all the nice comments and fav. Much appreciated.
Have a sunny Wednesday ahead ;-))

Title: Tarpaulin I, 2022
Artist: Amélie Scotta (1983)
Amélie Scotta currently focuses on the city under construction.
The artist herself:
"I draw the ephemeral installations that we don't look at, such as tarpaulins, scaffolding and excavations. These structures, reminiscent of skeletons or skin, speak to me of the city as a living organism, in perpetual mutation.
'Tarpaulin I' depicts a tarpaulin draped over a building. This plastic material also evokes facades, illusion, covering and concealment. I like the contrast between the simplicity and fragility of my drawing materials and the powerful, even overwhelming architectures that I depict."

Vor dem Schwaiger Holzzug, der als DGS 69694 von Hengersberg nach Brake verkehrt, kam am 03. April 2025 die 159 224 von Heavy Haul Power International zum Einsatz. Ich konnte den Zug beim Passieren der Stützmauer bei Laaber in der Oberpfalz aufnehmen. Bemerkenswert finde ich bei dieser fotogenen Leistung immer, dass der Zug unter kompletter Ausnutzung des Lichtraumprofils beladen ist.
On 03 April 2025, 159 224 from Heavy Haul Power International was deployed in front of the Schwaiger Holzzug, which runs as DGS 69694 from Hengersberg to Brake. I was able to take a photo of the train passing the retaining wall near Laaber in the Upper Palatinate. What I always find remarkable about this photogenic service is that the train is making full use of the loading gauge.
Zur festen Größe auf der KBS 880 sind die eindrucksvollen Euro Dual Maschinen geworden. Sie lassen sich praktisch täglich zwischen Nürnberg und Regensburg beobachten. Insbesondere für Leistungen von und zum Holzwerk in Hengersberg werden diese gerne genutzt, spart man sich doch die Vorhaltung einer Diesellok für die nicht elektrifizierte Stichstrecke ab Plattling. Am 02. März 2025 beförderte die an HHPI vermietete 159 224 einen leeren Holzzug von Plattling kommend nordwärts. Bei Laaber in der Oberpfalz wanderte die Aufnahme auf die Speicherkarte meiner Kamera.
The impressive Euro Dual machines have become a permanent institution on the KBS 880. They can be seen practically every day between Nuremberg and Regensburg. They are particularly popular for services to and from the timber plant in Hengersberg, as it saves having to keep a diesel locomotive on hand for the non-electrified branch line from Plattling. On 2 March 2025, 159 224, leased to HHPI, hauled an empty timber train northwards from Plattling. At Laaber in the Upper Palatinate, the photo was captured on my camera's memory card.

Size matters, thats for sure, the control tower at Edinburgh Airport has no issues there, however when it comes to the sweet things in life, there's nothing like a Tunnocks teacake..
Still the original size, we all hope so....dont look down, look up.

The Green Heron (flying away on lower left of photo) was already on that branch that the Snowy Egret is landing on but had to give way because it's smaller than the egret. So size does matter. :)

ODC-Great & Small
Not only is the size of the cameras different, but the zoom feature is extremely different!
We all know the disadvantage of fixed focal length lens. You are able to change the composition quickly without moving. I was using the 60mm lens (90mm in full frame) and the child was moving quickly. I could not back off too much or otherwise I might step beyond the pedestrain walk.
I have almost lost the kid in my frame. He is such a great character to be contrast with the giant bird.
Happy Sunday!

Big Paws Big Teeth Kennedy & Big Ears Long Tongue K2 After Mutual Chase Playtime - IMRAN™
These German Shepherd Dogs seem to know when the camera is on them. They believe that size matters.
Kennedy the rescue with his big teeth, big smile, and big paws - who didn’t fully grow to his full potential but is very strong. A well-tamed beast with a ferocious spirit ready to display if pushed too far. But as everyone who’s met him knows, Kennedy is the sweetest and gentlest dog with humans, other animals, and especially young ones — whether a baby bird, puppy, or human infant in a stroller.
K2 the 10 months old puppy with his big ears, long tongue, unending energy - who is already taller than the older dog. He loves learning from Kennedy though constantly bugging him to play and challenging him on the Alpha factor. He can fight back any bigger dog but seems to acknowledge in many ways that, while he could put up a big fight being taller and younger, Kennedy is the true alpha among them.
Both big dogs with their always displayed big grins, big pink tongues, and big pink, well, you know what. Always ready for.... a portrait... and yes THAT too. 😄

I didn't need to park, but the size of this spot and the size of the neighboring cars made me stop for a photo. For 90 percent of my trips, the Today is all the car I need; I cannot imagine dragging so much vehicle around at all times.
He is at the north entrance of the Pengra Covered Bridge, looking through the bridge to the south, hoping no cars or trucks happen along for a few minutes.
The bridge is in Lane County, Oregon, USA and is over Fall Creek. I personally think Fall Creek is big enough to be considered Fall River instead of Creek, but I am not in charge of these things.
