Munot tower

As I was leaving from Pilates, I had 10 minutes at the bus stop with a view of the Munot tower.

I whipped out the Mini-Moleskine and the 0.05 Pigma Micron I still had in my bag from last Saturday's sketchcrawl and completely messed up the perspective of the tower roof.

I must say it is quite unsatisfying when getting the image converted into a bloggable file of pretty data takes more time than than making the image itself.

I am just thankful that I can at least paint the sky from memory. ;-)

I need to reread Perspective for Artists again, it explained the perspective of turret roofs so well.

Basel: 39th Worldwide Sketchcrawl

 

Waiting for Pilates class

I needed to work a little longer today, so it did not make any sense to go anywhere in between work and Pilates class. It took about 20 minutes to half an hour to sketch the view from the entrance to the Pilates studio. I would have loved to have enough time for some watercolor on this but for several reasons this will have to stay as it is. 

The main one being that I am too tired now. ;-)

Swiss BIMI

Last night a couple of my colleagues met up for Japanese dinner in Zurich. It was so delicious it made me want to go travel to Japan and explore food, people and country right away. Mmmmmh!

Clean

My job situation is currently quite shaky. I sincerely hope there will soon be some clarity, but I have no idea how it will continue after that. Still, anything is better than this uncertainty.

I try to meet this with some housework. At least one place that is tidy and clean.

On board the IC 182 towards Frankfurt.

Piano concert

I was lucky to be invited to Gregory Sokolov's piano concert last night - someone else was sick and my friends asked me if I would like to come along.

Doing something completely different every once in a while really enriches one's life. 

The concert was impressive, and the music took us to a different place. 

A kid was sitting next to me, poor thing was falling asleep.
