Adri's Palette

I am a 30-something artist/craftswoman who finds a creative outlet from everyday life in the arts.

Poppies for young men

It is Remembrance day tomorrow. I thought it would be important to remember those who gave their youth and many times their lives in past wars. The poppy has become the symbol of fallen soldiers following a trench warfare which... Continue Reading →

Coming home

After my virtual vacation to the English seashore I wanted to come home. As my uncle's birthday is fast approaching I have to start the painting of my hometown that I am thinking of giving him as a present, otherwise... Continue Reading →
