Uniquely Grace

I have no idea why... but little things like this make me happy. I just adore this little wooden girl and her yarn braided hair with her rosy cheeks and orange dress. I do believe it was € ,50 well spent. #junkingingermany #flohmarkt #vintage #meltmyheart

Spent the afternoon at a rainy flohmarkt just out of town, took a Mercedes-Benz bus back. I stopped by the Wiesbaden train station (built in Neo-baroque style in 1906) to relax. I was listening to a street performer play the saxophone while drinking a Hugo, eating chocolate cake and googling the value of my market finds. #blessed #europeanlife #hopeitwasworthit

Just an evening sketch. The subject matter is the "Devil Mantis" such a cool and beautiful creature. #artchallange #WAPAG #watercolorpencils #fabercastell #pigmamicron

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” #henna #Tattoo #original #art #bodyart (at Wiesbaden German/American Friendship Fest)

Hanging with my new friend... Jabba. He is a lot cooler these days after the whole Leia/Han debacle. #starwars #comicconstuttgart #clasicgeeks

Money can buy happiness... but it can buy art supplies and this stunning set of watercolor pencils and #PITTpens by #fabercastell makes this artist very happy for my #pleinair outings. #nextbestthing #happyartist

Oppenheim ink sketch. First time in over 20 years sketching in ink. It is quite a commitment to every stroke. #plainair #sketchbook (at Oppenheim)
