happiness hit her






































I finished drawing number 8 of my Pippi-serie! It feels like I've done a lot more of them, but maybe that's because the drawings are so big (150 x 230 cm). Yesterday I had to say goodbye to 4 of them: they will be shown in an exhibition. More about that later this week. I find it hard to leave my work, but I left them with professionals who know how to handle precious work... I hope!

    Oh! It must have been a lot of work for you to do all 8 drawings! I imagine how much red pencils... I like the skirts of all Pippis. This one is not afraid to protect herself. I like the your idea to make grown-up Pippis. In Astrid Lindgren's book Pippi wants to remain a child forever, but I guess even she couldn't.. We all have to grow up from our safe childhood and face the dangerous world. And Pippi was always a strong girl, so she knows how to protect herself. Oh just my vision! Maybe your idea was totally different! (You can e-mail me about it.)

    It must be hard for an artist to give her works in other people's hands. I know it would be hard for me to send my stories/poems somewhere.

    So nice the contrast between the drawing before! Strong and feminine.

    prachtig ook weer deze, volgens mij heel indrukwekkend om ze in het echt te zien. Ben benieuwd naar je expositie verhaal! In ieder geval vast gefeliciteerd!

    This work is great Céline!
    must have been tiring doing this series,
    but imagine seeing them exposed, will be so beautiful!
    and do not worry about the handling of the four works, because Pippi, defend themselves very well!
