Art

Curly Traveller loves art. I always have, always will.

If I had had enough talent, I would have gone to an art academy after high school, but I was realistic enough to know that I was not good enough for that.

I used to sketch a lot. Then, for no specific reason, I did not sketch for almost 25 years, until I picked it up again a couple of years ago. I now sketch with a stylus on my iPad, using Paper53.

So instead, I studied something crafty and artistic. Over the years, I never really stopped sketching, only the settings and techniques changed over the years. Nowadays I am a huge fan of Paper 53, a fantastic sketching app that let’s you sketch on your iPad with a stylus. Super cool!

Sometimes I sketch scenery during my travels. Or I sketch to divert and entertain myself during long flights.

Decorating stuff -or ‘pimping’ things, as I call it- is my big joy. Look at my house (interior and exterior) and you know who I am ;-).

A friend in my garden. Do you see the mosaics behind her? And the pimped up tree? Yep, that’s me;-).

So it’s no wonder that I always have an eye out for art, craft, creations, preferably the colorful, quirky, contemporary and unusual kind.

Street art and outsider art are my favorites. Recycling, upcycling; love it.

But that’s not all I love. I can also appreciate older masters, like Van Gogh or Egon Schiele. Architecture, old and new. Photography. And so much more.
