Today was an interesting day. I tried to stay away from all the mini dramas, which would have loved to take over.
It all stared last night. I had booked my flight to Istanbul with an airline, I had promised myself,I will not choose again, despite they are by far the cheapest. They were. So I ended up with a flight at 2 am in the morning, being at the airport three hours too early, as I did not want my father to drive even later. „Delayed“ said the message board, not even giving a time. I was tired sitting at the gate, waiting, you can imagine all kids. The temper in general was quite high! Finally we left with 2,5 h delay. Some people got really angry, as the plane had finally arrived, there was a problem with the bus – the poor lady at the desk had to deal with a lot of shouting. You might imagine the energy in the plane. At the passport control, there was an endless queue and it took more than an hour to get through. Finally at home, a migraine had started and I went to bed around 10 am. Kids playing outside plus the heat prevented a good sleep, so I got up, to understand internet wasn’t working and also the printer here did not print in colour. Finally finding some space in the small extra room I am using as an atelier here in our flat in Istanbul, I understood, that I had treated my brushes poorly when I left last time and that I must have taken all really small brushes to Germany…. I am telling this all in this detail, as today‘s inspiration- however – helped me to get over everything. „Peace in world, peace in my country“, was the message Simge had shared. Painting from the laptop screen in the end – I thought a lot about beginnings and endings – what if there wouldn’t be so many boarders?
Just painted with burnt sienna, red, yellow and white today!
Thank you, Simge!
