In this blog I have documented my works during my art studies in 1990-1993. After that I did almost nothing during years, but on 2nd May 2021 I started to put here some of my works of today... However, I am still a student in my practice of artworks... Due to some problems with this blog I started a new one in 2022, artworksbyig.blogspot.com or Artworks by Irmeli Grunau, and put there what I make from now on... I have this blog since 2014 - somebody started an internet shop with this same name.

I was cleaning my corners and found even this...
This was among the old paintings I was just going to throw away... However, I couldn't as I found this somewhat interesting, but I don't know why. And I have no idea how I have made this, but it seems I have painted it on some other old painting. It's in oil.
This makes me think of blood and some train attacked by some terrorist so I call it a Terrorized train.

I opened my old Rowney oil color paint tubes...
It is about 30 years since I used my Rowney oil color paints. When I opened the tubes most of the colors were very dry and it was almost impossible to open the corks. So I cooked the tubes in hot water. After that I was able to open the corks and the colors became more running. They seem not gone spoiled... It is possible to paint with them! Now I must be in a hurry to use them all as soon as possible...
And now I am also forced to change the trademark as somebody told just Rowney paints are not manufactured any more... All good things seem to disappear sooner or later... But I have liked the Rowney artist color paints the most! What do I have to use instead?
And now I have to paint at least until I have used all these old Rowney paint tubes instead of letting them go spoiled!
What a mess in my box! I had to take a photo of these Rowney tubes soon only history!
