2023 calendars are here!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I was here last! I had planned on coming here more often this year, but somehow it didn't work out. The year started out so wonderfully with the pandemic almost over and freedom and travelling on the horizon. I felt like I could finally breathe again and live again, making all kinds of plans, and then booom, the war in Ukraine started and I felt myself and all my plans sinking away. 

But I did paint, and I did manage to finish my calendars for next year! So I thought I'd let you know :-) (if there's still someone reading this blog, I'm not sure ....)

Like I did last year, I made two calendars: one with (English) quotes, and one without quotes

The pictures I'm showing you here are all from the calendar with quotes.

I used the same paintings for both calendars

These are all paintings I made on canvasboard. I started out with backgrounds full of marks and paint, and then searched for figures in there.

I tried out some new ideas, where I combined intuitive painting with geometrical forms.

Different way of working but it was fun to do!

My calendars are for sale in my LULU-shop. When you order please make sure you use the correct link, either for the quotes-calendar or for the calendar without quotes.

Also, good news: from today through November 4th you get a 20% discount when you use the code SNEAKPEEK20 at checkout!

The calendars measure 11"x 17" (27,9 x 43,2cm) when open. The weeks start with Sunday. As you can see there's enough room for writing down your appointments and plans.

This is the direct link for the calendar with quotes

And this is the direct link for the calendar without quotes

You can also order them from the sidebar. If you have any questions at all, please contact me. You can do that simply by posting a comment or by e-mailing me at infoatdenthe.com. Please know that the sale of my calendars is in the hands of Lulu from start to finish. I don't even know who orders a calendar. So if there are any issues, you can contact Lulu directly, or you can contact me and I will contact Lulu for you.

Thank you so much for being here! 

Please stay safe! I'll talk to you soon ♥♥♥

#artcalendar #calendar 2023

Long time no see ;-)

 Hi there!

Yes, I know it's a long time ago.

And yes, I know I was planning on posting a few times a year on this blog.

But, well, life happens and I've been very busy on Instagram. If you want to keep up with what I'm doing it's best if you follow me there 😏

But for those of you who might occasionally come over here to have a look, I wanted to let you know that my calendars for 2022 are available 😀

The first one is an intuitive artcalendar with quotes. This is the cover. When you click on it it brings you to my Lulu-shop:

In my Lulu-shop it's possible to see a preview of the calendar. You can also have a look at my Instagram-feed where I've posted all the paintings and a few video's of the calendars.

The next one is the same intuitive artcalendar but without quotes. The cover is slightly different:

And the next one is a oneliner-calendar. This one consists of continuous line-drawings of women, with an inspirational quote. I sell this calendar through my Etsyshop (yes, I revived my Etsy-shop, finally, after it's been closed for the last five years 😀):

This is just a quick post now but I will be back before the end of the year and talk some more.

I will be linking this to Paint Party Friday. Long time ago I was there, life just flies by too fast. But I will have a look at what everybody is doing over there!

Thanks for coming over here and having a look! I'll talk to you soon ♥ ♥ ♥

Calendars 2021 are ready!

I have finished my calendars, sent them off to the printers and got them back, so I know they're good to go! I always get my calendars printed at Lulu, that's a print-on-demand-shop with printers all over the world. 

Now at the start of this year, Lulu made some big changes to its website, and the calendars got a make-over. Well, actually, they still look the same as previous years, but there are a few minor changes, that people who have been buying my calendars might notice:

- the cover is now really glossy paper

- the weeks start with Sundays now, not with Mondays

- there is no (automatic) message from me anymore to thank you for your purchase, which I think is a pity. Since it's a POD-shop I have no idea who buys my calendars or when, I just get an overview each month of how many calendars have been sold. So I want all of you who buy my calendars to know I'm really grateful, to thank you for your purchase and to wish it'll bring you as much pleasure as it was for me to create it

- there's no preview button anymore, which is really annoying. I hope they'll change that.

- and lastly: I put up one price, in Euro, and it automatically puts the amount in USD, GBP, AUD and CAD at the exchange rate of that moment. So it's possible the prices differ from day to day (except for the euro) When you open the link it automatically puts it in USD but you can easily change it when you scroll all the way down and there you can choose which currency you see. 

I have decided to make three calendars: the map calendar, the intuitive art calendar with English quotes, and the intuitive art calendar without quotes. Because there is no preview anymore, I'm sharing all images of the calendars here.

I'll start with the map calendar:

cover: click on it and it'll bring you straight to the shop

The next one is the intuitive painting calendar WITH quotes:

cover: click on it and it'll bring you straight to the shop

And this next one is the intuitive painting calendar WITHOUT quotes. It's exactly the same images, just no quotes:

click on the picture to go straight to the shop

At this moment Lulu has a 10% discount on all printed products. Use code READ10 at checkout. Ends November 13th.

As I think I said before, the original paintings for the intuitive art calendar will be for sale, at a discounted price until the first of December. I will share this in a next post.

Well, that's it for now. If you have any questions or remarks, please let me know in the comments below or just email me at: info at denthe dot com. Thanks!

Finishing with a blend of funnies and thinkies ;-)

(can't help it :-D)

just discovered this artist (haroldsplanet.com) - LOVE it!

Take care, stay safe, hugs ♥♥♥
