chicken on the nest: February 2009

http://saartjeketelaars.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Chicken on the nest. Thursday, 26 February 2009. My first drawing done in public. Well, here it is. not the best drawing i've ever done, but the first one i've done in public since i was a child. This is my husband in a cafe in Paris a couple of weeks ago. Fortified with a glass of Kir and my beloved's faith in me i got out my moley and voila! The really great thing was nobody even noticed. So, next time won't be as bad and i might even get finish the drawing! Saturday, 14 February 2009. 1Being brave eno...

chicken on the nest: July 2008

http://saartjeketelaars.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Chicken on the nest. Monday, 21 July 2008. Self portrait in pencil. Pencil self portrait . The artist and the ego. One of my all time favourite songs is "Pablo Picasso' by the divinely kooky Jonathan Richman. The main gist of the song is how supremely cool Picasso was, encapsulated in the lines:. Why do i love praise so much? Shouldn't i be able to evaluate my own work without needing confirmation from others? Etc etc). It's all quite strange. Of course i am not ungrateful that i. So for me, at the momen...

chicken on the nest: digital art

http://saartjeketelaars.blogspot.com/2009/05/digital-art.html

Chicken on the nest. Friday, 15 May 2009. Wow - some of those are fabulous. I love the one that's got a sideways movement and has made what looks like a mummy figure. There's something almost sinister about it - a real feeling of being bound up, tied, restricted. I'm getting all pretentious now, I'll stop. 18 May 2009 at 01:45. Great photos.one of them makes me feel like I'm down the plughole! Would love to see some more 5Ways ones too! 19 May 2009 at 04:43. Nice series, I really like the pink one.

chicken on the nest: June 2008

http://saartjeketelaars.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Chicken on the nest. Tuesday, 24 June 2008. Tuesday, 17 June 2008. What i wish and what i do. I don't do what I wish, I do what I can'. These are the words of George Braque. The words with which i comfort myself whenever i am confronted with the gap between my ideas and the reality of what i manage to produce. . The more honest and difficult way is to finish something and stand back and look at it. This takes a bit of courage. What i learnt from this experience was not to let myself fret over the gap, bu...

Chicken on the nest. Tuesday, 19 May 2009. Technology is a wonderful thing. Self portrait in a digital age. Does anyone else miss polaroid photographs? I know i do. Luckily help is at hand, for i have just discovered www.poladroid.net. This is a great site where you can download free software to make any image you have look like it is a polaroid. Try it - it's serious fun. Hmm Is it me or could i not just have saved myself an awful lot of time and money by missing out the middle step there?

chicken on the nest: Happy Anniversary Wolfie!

http://saartjeketelaars.blogspot.com/2011/10/happy-anniversary-wolfie.html

Chicken on the nest. Thursday, 6 October 2011. The thing about writing a blog is that i don't. Or at least not very often. And unlike other activities i also don't do much (like ironing or going to the gym) i always know exactly how long i've not been doing it for. Each time i check in here i see how long it is since i last wrote anything, i end up feeling vaguely silly and run away. Months pass. Next year can only get better. Happy Anniversary Wolfie. 29 December 2011 at 22:05. Make your own badge here.

chicken on the nest: Dancing with Wolf

http://saartjeketelaars.blogspot.com/2010/11/dancing-with-wolf.html

Chicken on the nest. Tuesday, 9 November 2010. Illustration by Miranda Vincent. It's the little things that get me sometimes. Who would have thought you'd miss painting ceilings, nit-combing your daughter's hair (a vile job but i get tearful when my fingers ache too much to hold the comb) emptying the bin and lifting heavy things like the recycling? Yet i do. the frustration at not being able to do those things is huge. I feel so pathetic. In those moments the Wolf has won and i loathe him. Great words&#...

chicken on the nest: every mark matters

http://saartjeketelaars.blogspot.com/2009/05/every-mark-matters.html

Chicken on the nest. Tuesday, 12 May 2009. Would she be cross with me, i'd been doing exactly as she asked hadn't i? Every mark matters, and if you don't like the ones you've made you can always make new ones. Top: the offending drawing, post rescue. Left: detail of the face which i quite like and other drawings from the same day in class. Well, he did go a long way to helping me to get over myself and be less timid. :). Happy creating to you. 12 May 2009 at 09:37. David R. Vallejo. 12 May 2009 at 16:05.
