The Artist – Aafke-Art
https://aafke-art.com/illustraties
Spreading sweetness and light. I have had a keen interest in drawing and painting as long as I can remember. Well not quite, it was only as I was about four or five years old that I really took up the goal of becoming a really good artist. Meaning really good at painting horses! I couldn’t have made a better decision. At least as far as keeping me busy, I’m a lot older now, and still hard at it. And I also am sure that however old I may get I will still have somthing to strive for! I love horses; they fa...

The Tarq is good to go! – Aafke-Art
https://aafke-art.com/2015/03/22/the-tarq-is-good-to-go
Spreading sweetness and light. The Tarq is good to go! March 22, 2015. March 21, 2015. The vet has been and Tarq’s tongue, what’s left of it, looks very good! Everything is healthy, no infection, and at least the skin is growing over the torn end. Which means he can have all his normal food and hay again! Which is very good because the stuff we were giving him was not at all good for him. Way too much sugars and proteins! Tarq is very happy too. Posted in equine portrait.

Spreading sweetness and light. Haute Cuisine for Cavemen! March 22, 2015. March 22, 2015. A new cookbook by chef Pete Evans and it’s all Paleo! The recipes are great, the ones I have tried were all easy to make and super yummie. Maybe not a beginner’s book, I did not find it completely ”easy” and ”fast”. Probably for a real chef they are, but for a run-of-the-mill home cook they are quite involved. Actually very exciting! I made the breakfast dish. I noticed one little mistake, on page 180, (. There is o...

Spreading sweetness and light. Daily Painting, Roy. November 4, 2015. November 4, 2015. A small sketch in pen, with water colors, of Roy,. This is my favorite technique for my sketchbook. This is pretty fast so good for work-on-the-go. I don’t have too much bulky stuff in my travel gear, and you still have precision and colour. Of course you can also work just in pen or water colours, but this is fast and it looks good. At least that’s how I think about it. The Tarq is good to go! March 22, 2015. There a...

Spreading sweetness and light. Antar at his first flyball competition. November 11, 2015. November 11, 2015. I can’t believe I didn’t post this at the time! Fact is, Antar’s his first official flyball competition was a great success! We had a wonderful time, lots of fun, and Antar did really well! Of course lots of amazing dogs besides Antar! Antar has to get his paws wrapped. It looks funny, you usually do that on a horse, but why on a dog? As you can see on the drawing,this is the wrapping after a race:.

Spreading sweetness and light. Daily painting, the Tarq enjoying a good roll. April 30, 2015. The Tarq is doing so well! He is very happy, he is enjoying himself, and apart from me having to give him his snacks, apples and carrots, in his trough, you’d never know anything has ever happened! I used a really limited palette for this painting,. Yet look at the range of colours! Jagger, portrait in oil. Pete the Qatari Cat. 2 thoughts on “ Daily painting, the Tarq enjoying a good roll.

Spreading sweetness and light. June 22, 2016. June 22, 2016. Yep, after visiting Washington and seeing the sites, and especially, tons of art! I am spending my time building SIPs, or Sub Irrigation Planters! I have to do this now because the summer’s hitting and it’s really impossible to keep plants alive in summer here without some kind of automatic irrigation. Trying it out with one of my old window boxes to give it the plant effect . And then keep on filling with a mix of peat moss, vermiculite and po...
