next step?

Three sides of the walls in my son's room are now
yellow. He wanted to have the slope in dark blue,
as if he lay under the night sky. I rejected it,
since it would make the whole room looks dark
and besides there are no straight edges, which
separate the ceiling, the slope and the wall.

First I got the idea to make a blue segment of
a circle or something similar on the sloop, which
would soften on the border. Maybe a 4 or 5 steps
gradation to white. Since I'm a visual person, I've
got to play with my idea in Photoshop.

Well, the idea was great as an idea, but in I didn't
like it in Photoshop. Not for a children's room.
So I try to make a hard edge. Simply a blue circle.
Still it's like something is missing. Then I tried
something. I like it a lot. Now I only need the okay
from my boy to make it real.

next step?

The idea came after we've visited an exposition
yesterday. We were on the way to get the bus, as
we saw something amazing in Galerie Geiger. They
always have interesting expositions - I normally
only watched it from outside (I knew, my heart
would cry and say "I want, I want", if I go in ;)).
But this time we went in, as my boy wanted to take
a closer look.

I didn't regret it at all. They are showing some
work of a talented artist, Marion Eichmann. Oh
well, of course my heart cried. Esp. the installation
and the collages were SO beautiful!! I love those
cartoon-like art and her work is simply filled with
so much love and details. I wish I have some Euros
left to spend... *crying*

If you have an opportunity to see her work live,
please do! So many lovely details to see, that you
couldn't see it online. The exposition in Konstanz
is going on till 14th Januar. Highly recommended!!
