Making nature art // growing food // finding magic 💫
Pinned
Hi there, I'm Elli - I make #nature and #wildlife art, often with a folkloric twist. ✨️
I also share photos of nature around me and my #permaculture vegetable and wildflower garden.

The other two studies I am playing with atm! Hope I will not ruin the glow in the left one.

Another day on these two - I really enjoy taking my time here, even though they are relatively small. Learning a lot.

Choose what to pay attention to. There are bad things to care about, but we also have to keep looking at what is beautiful and good so that we know how to repair the world. Slow down. Feel beauty. Be kind. Do not let youself be paralyzed.

A little test painting I am working on to get back into oil paint :)
(Ca. 20×10cm on paper)

Am I the only person who at some point in their life realised the difference between a forest and a monoculture tree farm and now has a hard time enjoying some landscapes other people love? Sometimes I wish to go back 🥲

I'm having a hard time enjoying the dark season but todays walk was kinda sweet. The snow makes it easier to convince my brain to get outside, too. #winter #photo #photography #art #germany #mentalhealth

Always worth it to get up early on a cold sunny winter morning!

I have been struggeling to be creative, experiencing a bit of #artblock. I think I was very much too in my head about the art I make and what I want it to say so I'm so happy I managed to let go and just enjoy colour with this one.

The oak tree in the valley, seconds before the sun is gone looks absolutely glorious.

Hermann is enjoying the autumn morning sun very much, and I think it suits him :)

My little piece of fall colours visible from my porch where I am sat tucked in a blanket with a big mug of tea and a book, being sick.

My very big coloured pencil panorama drawing of the wildlife in my home hills is finally about done! I'll need to take a pic of the whole wide thing next.

Hermann, my assistant cat and I did a first little sketch in my new workspace yesterday. (The beams and wall behind us are 250 years old!)

A gift that made me furious while making it - Claudias Dahlia for her Birthday.

My garden looking all moody in the first morning light, a fresh fall chill in the air making me come alive.

Cosy fall bonfire season is upon us 🍂 I took a couple of photos in night mode that turned out pretty interesting imo. Might reference them for future paintings too :) #photography #nature #fall #autumn #cosy #naturephotography #spooky #witchy #natureart
