The Composition Challenge posted by Layne Cook

This little painting is my entry for "The Composition Challange" by Lane Cook.
I just simplyfied my cropped part of the picture to make it more calm and intimate. Like that it became a very quiet scene. Reminds me of those italian mountain villages that always seem death during the three hours at noon in the summer.

The paint what you paint with challenge posted by Carol Marine

Thank you very much for your comments. Well these are few of the "tools" i'm usually working with. Flat brushes, the smaller ones for the small paintings, the big one for bigger paintings (already long long time ago)... and the bottles - I'm sorry, but I have to keep the substance secret ;-)

Anniversary Gift

$ 50

This is a gift from my boyfriend for our anniversary this year.
What you can't see on my profile photo is, that i'm usually wearing glasses that have a golden kind of strip on each side of the frame. And these golden ear studs fit perfectly to my glasses (very very important! ;-))

Olio e Fiore

As you can imagine during the time I lived in Venice, I enjoyed the Italian food very much. They have such fantastic good food, that is tasty even if you eat it kind of pure - like prociutto crudo (= raw ham) on a piece of pane, even simply olio mixed with a bit aglio (= garlic) and peperoncino (= chilli peppers), used as a sauce for pasta (called Pasta aglio e oglio) is soooo tasty. Or a piece of that tasty pecorino - mhhhhh so good (litterally "little sheep" = sheeps cheese, but not feta-like).

Since I returned I hardly go to those so called "Italian Restaurants" here - because most of them don't prepare the food real italian like. But one place though is really cool it's a Pizzaria called "I due forni". There the pizza really tastes like in Italia. They also claim the waiters are real Italian because they are very unfriendly, but I don't think it's THE attribute of italian waiters, usually they've been very kind to us.

Now from time to time my family orders some food from the Tuskany, in a package that contains one entire pecorino, some bottles of this olio d'olive (like the one I painted this weekend) and some bottles of good vine.

Shrimp with Orange Slices

There opened a new supermarket (Kaisers) next to our place that has an incredible wide variety of fish, so it happened that I tried out some fish this weekend. And I couldn't pass by the shrimps without buying one to paint it.

"Live long and prosper"

These two figures belong to my boyfriend. They both embody Mr. Spock , main character of Star Trek, the aged one and the young one.
The young figure (in blue) says, after pressing a small button on its back "Das ist höchst unlogisch" - "That would be unwise". The older one says "Frieden, und ein langes Leben" - "Live long and prosper"
