ultraMARIN Sketch

Last sketchcrawl we were invited to by local sketchers to come to north and colorful Tivon!  We met in Mumus - hummus restaurant, which is also a gallery and place for music shows, really atmospheric place! From there we continued to the central square of the town - where was a jazz concert. Close the noon to the square came group of school children - demonstrating against the climate crisis.  I was impressed by Tivon very much - the place where the owner of hummus place is and artist, and his workers are musicians as well. Place where there is a jazz concert at the square and children demonstrate worrying about the earth. It was so different from tel Aviv, and so wonderful! Thanks to everybody who joined us!

Music and sketching is my favorite combination - here are some sketches I did yesterday at the Folk Night Festival Tel Aviv. There is so many so talented musicians here!!!!!

It's second year that we come to sketch InDnegev - the biggest and oldest festival of indie music in Israel. This festival is a pretty unique phenomenon, started as a private initiative of a group of people who love music and keeps its special family atmosphere for the 12th year in a row. This time the experience was a bit different - I came to a familiar place and somewhere I felt I was back home. Many memories from last year floated in the air and it felt nice. Everything was in its place - the tent camp, the stages, the compounds, the food stalls, and of course the desert landscape and the air full of grains of sand. But now all these were filled with new sounds - plenty of great music and in its big part unfamiliar to me! For the three days I moved from stage to stage and absorbed what I could, with a block of paper and pencils in my bag. It was a lot of fun. Here are some of the impressions, hope that they manage to convey some of what I felt. ...

Last weekend my sister and I spend a long weekend in Vienna - elegant, classical, and so artistic capital of Austria. So we tasted some Schiele, Klimt and Breigel. And some Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss. And apple-strudel for the dessert, of course! ;) Here are some sketches I managed to "steal". our first supper beautiful concert in Mozart's house having some drinks after the concert my beautiful sister listening to the live singer in the bar poor horses! I'm not sure they so happy to dance waltz... I didn't dare to skate, but it was fun to watch! charming small concert in our hotel, called "Beethoven"  in the local jazz club "Porgy&Bess" wonderful show by "Marina and the Kats" Marina and her band were just electrifying! I wish I could sketch much much more! But still, it was so nice, and I have some taste for coming again!
