just an ordinary friday night,

i wish.

happy drawing n° 13, 
of a little (decadent) celebratory sauna evening.

wish we had a jacuzzi at home,
or even a spacious bath would be sufficient :).

Horses in the morning

Thursday morning (day 12), on the train ride to work. 
The view outside was so beautiful:
a bit of fog, wintery trees and some horses. 
Wow. A fairytale start of the day.   

Yesterday lunch (day 11)

when i think in the evening about the happiest moment of the day,

most of the times it has something to do with food or drinks / coffee.

like yesterday, when i just quickly ate a noodle soup. 

mmm, i could eat noodle soup every day.

and i'm waiting for the good 'pho bo'-recipe. 

Morning coffee on train (sketch #10)

sitting on the train, awake but not yet thinking/worrying,

i think my coffee tastes at its best.

that was for sure the case yesterday. 

because i also took some slices of bread + cheese with me.

tasted like milk and honey. 

like heavenly breakfast.

and it was just cheese and not-so-fresh-bread. 

and the coffee doesn't stay hot. it's rather lukewarm (wat een vreemd woord)

because it's in a plastic cup.

strange.

music monday

tiny happy moment #9

my monday evening was different. normally i try to start the week easy and calm (in comparison with the other evenings), this week it started with a happy concert.

while moving and smiling (because Edward Sharpe & the magnetic zero are so happy and hippy it's funny), i observed the light in the concert hall. quite dark, but at the same time you see a lot of contours  in a rather red haze.

i tried to capture this, but the picture of the sketch is not so clear 

(because of the reflection of light / because i'm not an expert in photographing those contrasts).

feel free to use your imagination/look at it closer in real life.

Sunday sketch #8

the first week passed of my

"365 a sketch a day of a tiny happy moment"! hooray hooray!

I'll start numbering them from now on.

and i also sometimes will post the sketch only the day after. no stress.

this week i immediately realized it's not so easy to choose a specific moment in a day to sketch.

sometimes it's just hard to remember one special nice thing, because the rainy day gets in my head.

an other day, like thursday, i can't choose between an evening with a good friend + interesting chat + glass of wine, the morning coffee or the dog i saw (and made me smile).

i tend to focus on tiny tiny things (which is, of course, the goal).

for instance, i had a really nice weekend. and a sunday with a cake party and board games. but the nicest thing was not having to wake up in time, 

sleeping sleeping and staying in bed until lunchtime.

because it's sunday night, just a really quick sketch that captures the atmosphere... 

saturday night dinner with a part of my family.

with really good food (bobotie).

and i'm always happy to see them.
