The Dreaming Fox − Acrylpainting on Canvas, 15 cm x 15 cm.            

Everything started with a spontaneous idea that I had to scribble into my sketchbook at once. A few days later I started to work on the picture. I made a sketch of the Dreaming Fox in the intended final size. After that it took time to find the right colours. First I thought of a dark night sky but later I´ve decided to paint a sunset.    The Dreaming Fox is ready to fly!

  I had a rough idea of the picture already in my mind and started directly the scribble in the intended size.                 For the coloring I worked with complementary colors. After that I applied strong black outlines to give the picture a Comic-Style.                 The finished picture. Nemo Fox is ready to take a sip of delicious tea and planning of new creative stuff.

Maneki-neko Waterpainting on Water Colour Paper 20 cm x 40 cm.  I used different layers of tea to create the background and watercolour for the other colours. Maneki-neko (the beckoning cat) is the notorious japanese lucky charm. Maneki-nekos come in all kinds of colours. But the traditional colour combination of white, gold and black is regarded to be the best for ultimate Maneki-neko Good-Luck-Power. You can find more about Maneki-neko on Wikipedia.   I painted the Maneki-neko Picture two times with different "Good Wishes" in Kanji on it.

I was searching for a Maneki-neko and I found it after a while in my sketchbook. Colored proper Outlines on the Water Colour Paper. I created the brown background with tea and the other colours with watercolour paint.
