SOLD

Laudermilk Mill was built around the mid 1800's. It is situated on the southern bank of Hazel Creek in Habersham County in Georgia (USA). Hazel Creek flows into the Soque River, which in turn, flows into the Chattahoochee River. The mill was driven by a steel overshot waterwheel. Unfortunately, the mill race that channeled the water to the wheel is no longer standing. The mill has ceased operations in 1970.

Mlyn Laudermilk bol postavený okolo roku 1850. Nachádza sa na južnom brehu potoka Hazel Creek v okrese Habersham v Georgii. Hazel Creek tečie do rieky Soque River, ktorá sa ďalej vlieva do rieky Chattahoochee. Mlyn bol poháňaný oceľovým vodným kolom. Kanál, ktorý privádzal vodu na koleso už ale neexistuje. Mlyn prestal fungovať v 1970.

Our trip to Italy was full of new experience and pictures. These fishermans´ cabins on the river near the Adriatic sea seamed so cozy and beautiful that I had to paint them.

Naša dovolenka v Taliansku bola plná nových zážitkov a obrazov. Tieto príbytky pre rybárov na rieke blízko ústia do Jadranského mora vyzerali tak útulne a nádherne, že som ich musela namaľovať.

Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park on Utah / Arizona border is one of the most impressive landscapes I´ve ever visited, and no wonder it´s one of the most photographed places on the earth. To remember this place as long as possible I made this painting, which is now in our living room :-)

Monument Valley v národnom parku kmeňa Navajov na hranici Utahu a Arizony je jedno z najúžasnejších scenérií aké som kedy navštívila. Niet divu, že je to jedno z najfotografovanejších miest na Zemi. Aby som si to miesto zapamätala čo najdlhšie, namaľovala som obraz, ktorý teraz visí v našej obývačke :-)

Pastel, 30 x 20 cm (1998)

I remember reading a book about the famous painters and saw many of beautiful pictures in it. Just after it I grabbed my pastels and sketched this one, then I added more colors and this is the output.

Pamätám si, ako som si listovala v knižke o slávnych maliaroch a videla tam kopec krásnych obrazov. Hneď potom som siahla po mojich pasteloch a načrtla tento obrázok, pridala trochu viac farby a toto bol výsledok.

The Cabin at Waterfalls (1998)

2010-02-21T05:22:00.001+01:00

Tempera, 30 x 40 cm (1998)

My first bigger painting I made in 1998, in the times I lived in campus and had no idea about other medium than tempera. The funny thing is that I made the picture with an old brush Nr. 2 I found at hand which had almost no bristles anymore...

Môj prvý väčší obrázok, ktorý som namaľovala ešte v roku 1998, v čase keď som pobývala na internáte a nevedela som nič o iných farbách než temperových. Zábavné bolo možno to, že som ho celý maľovala jediným staručkým štetcom, ktorý som našla po ruke a ktorý už vôbec nemal štetiny...

The Bridge (1997)

2010-02-21T04:49:00.001+01:00

Pastel, 30 x 20 cm (1997)

This is a relatively small picture I created a long time ago, maybe as one of the first attempts to draw...

Toto je relatívne malý obrázok, ktorý som kreslila už dávno, možno ako jeden z mojich prvých pokusov...
