heat flow

Acrylic on photo paper by Trish Taylor

The heat is back in the desert. Around 40 Celsius during the day and above 20 Celsius at night... Some days there is a wind too that is hot and feels like you just opened the oven door. As much as I love the desert, getting used to the heat and dry weather is a challenge! I am thankful to have at least the Colorado river nearby to cool down.

I love the smooth texture of photo paper to use my flow in layers. The deep blue is one of my favorite colors at the moment and it's Prussian blue. Working on this medium size format gives me a lot of inspiration for new works on bigger canvases.
When I paint I am in the moment. It's pure joy and a kind of meditation too.

Favorite spot on the Colorado river for reading, meditating, swimming. The good life middle in the desert!

Marrakesh

It's on my travel list: Marrakesh.
Even better would be at the El Fenn Hotel. Beautiful residence with colorful rooms, very tasteful. A delight for the eyes, art in every corner to me.

oldies and palm trees

Last week in Lake Havasu City AZ. Yes, I love the palm trees and old fifties cars.

Berlin calling

Berlin, 2013.
I lived a few years in Berlin as a ballet student in the mid 90ies. East Berlin wasn't great, everyone wanted to be in the West. I returned in 2000 and then in 2013 and it has changed tremendously, in a positive way. The East became a fancy part to live in, renovated buildings, fancy cafés, bars, restaurants, galleries...
I love Berlin and its vibrant unpredictable energy.
