  • Art engineering 😉

    After the great fun we’ve had with the art game Paolo we’ve given one as a birthday present to our friend Joolz who loves engineering and art! Here are his first results: and my favourite:

  • Creativity in three dimensions

    As a belated birthday present we got „Paolo“, a box full of colored cardboard pieces and plastic connections. You can arrange them to threedimensional sculptures of any kind you like. Here are our first results:   What do you think? Is this a good game to discover your creativity?

  • Hexenkessel on tour

    As mentioned quite a while ago I had the idea to bring my artwork outside and to take photos of it in different places or with different people. As the weather is better now, I’ve finally started the action today.  Here we go with a few photos of my painting „Hexenkessel 2“ on their way…

  • Time’s running out…

    … and my cardreader has given up so I couldn’t upload the photos I had made of our paintings. But luckily Charlie’s card can still be read and so we did photos of her paintings again. EDIT: Charlie is on her way to the airport now 🙁 and I’m distracting myself by having the cardreader…

For Charlie this meant watching Nette wince as she was manipulated into various shapes in the name of medicine. As one can imagine this experience was very traumatising for Charlie but Nette dealt with it very well. 😉 After this…

  • Let go and relax

    Day 1: Best intentions. With all the will and enthusiasm in the world we still didn’t get round to starting our paintings until almost midnight of the first day. We did however manage to record some videos on another project. With this behind us, a good meal in our stomachs and some virtual Marihuana (courtesy:…

  • Painting together

    As some of you might have heard already, my friend Charlie is coming here soon for a painting week. We’ve already painted last time she was here. Well, she painted after I had introduced her to work with metal colors, rust an patina. Unfortunately I didn’t make photos while she was painting but only while…

  • Sold and ordered artwork

    Some of my artwork has been sold or been ordered. Some of my artwork has travelled a long way (in distance and one also in time) to find their place at a new owner. So I thought I’d make a list of what is where now: The first painting I have sold was the second…

    „Devastation“ by Annette Schwindt rust and acrylics on canvas (70x50cm) It has been given away to Jena/Germany where it is hanging in the same flat in Göttingen/Germany now as „Der Traum“ („The dream“).  

  • About Creativity: „Art is feeling (not knowing)!“

    Annette Schwindt about creativity – interview by Pål H. Christiansen Pål: The statement in the heading is what Annette Schwindt has posted at her Myspace beside a picture of herself.
