Wir haben fünf kreative Köpfe gefragt, wann und wo sie am kretivsten sind, was sie inspiriert, wie sie Blockaden lösen und auf welche Arbeit sie stolz sind.

Teresa sits silently by the window, when suddenly her inner voice is starting to talk. Friendly and soft. Teresa loves these moments, because her best decisions happened, when she had listened to exactly this voice.

This is the newest addition to the
WOMEN LAUGHING PROJECT.

Meet Cathrin, who is 59 years old and lives in Brandenburg. She had found an article about my project and instantly asked her husband to take a picture of her laughing. I have loved, finding those in my inbox. !B

I know, life is still a tough cookie for many of us. But there is the good stuff too. For example, someone writing you, how much your work has touched them. Whenever this happens, it fills my painter's heart deeply and I am incredibly grateful for these encounters.

Over the last week, Emma the Labrador and I, have gifted each other with some nasty little angina. Back and forth. Therefore the radio silence over here. Thank you for all the little notes, asking if I am alright. I am.

And though there wasn't a lot artwork created, I did manage to clean and to rearrange the studio.

Welcoming more light and a much better flow.

Come on in!

So happy to be part of the show CONNECTIONS by the ROARING ART GALLERY in Austin, Texas.

Of course, in person shows are great, but this virtual tour is simply amazing as well. How cool to come together like this, from all over the world.

Jump over and have a look. Maybe take a guided tour as well.

This has been a week and Agatha knows only too well that this probably isn't an individual appraisal, but a collective one. Most of us are tired, feeling worn out. There is so much we can't do and so much that we are currently missing like crazy. What we can do though, is letting it out. Talk about what is happening and tell each other, what we might need to soften this misery. Agatha went for a good dose of screaming. Of letting everything out. And holy Canneloni, she is good at it. If you feel like her these days and if you want to initialize a little rage formation with Agatha, simply send me a DM and she will jump to your assistance.

Today, for all things new, Rose is looking for a change of scenery. She is eager to travel, have inspiring conversations over tea and bisquits, and maybe one or the other Tequila. To make her able to spread her wings, this small sized painting is up for sale. A quick one. If you like to get Rose packing and coming to you, the sale ends Monday at midnight.

Simply send me a DM and she is happy to live with you.

Alissa's new thing, is to stare at men who stare at women. Clearly uninvited. One screamed at her yesterday. Across the sidewalk. She just shrugged and took a bite of her bagel.

Meet Diana, a fighter for humanity, 43 years, living and working in Berlin. Her laughter is deeply infectious. So is her impeccable sense, when it comes to injustices. She never seems to run out of energy, when it comes to defeating them. With all of her heart. On a very personal level, we haven't seen each other far too long. Thank you so much for being a part of this, Diana.

She doesn't know and it means freedom.

It is the last night of this wild year and I am still in the studio. A full moon stands over the house and everything around is calm. So delicious. There is not a single New Year's resolution lingering around and it is fine. Plans yes, but other than that, the most important thing, I have made it to this day. That's it. And it was quite a journey, with tears and laughter more than usual. Anxiety and resilience have been close friends, as well as love, mourning and gratefulness. And lots of art. Intense would be an understatement. And I know, I am not the only one, feeling as tired as I do. Most of us probably do. So, this is cheers to all of us. Cheers to all the good and to the sh*tty stuff too. And cheers to everything, that lies around the corner.

2021, I am ready.

Thank you for the shout out, Hauptstadtmutti ❤

In unseren Lieblingen zeigen wir euch, was wir im Moment lieben. Und das ist im Dezember ganz klar, das Women Laughing Projekt von Annton Beate Schmidt❤ Lachende Frauen sind in Porträts selten zu finden. Selbst bei ausgiebiger Recherche findet sich höchstens einmal ein Lächeln oder ein Lachen, dass dann schüchtern hinter einer Handfläche versteckt wird. Laute, kräftig lachende Frauen galten viele Jahrhunderte hindurch als unweiblich. Auch heute noch wird es in manchen Kontexten zumindest als nervig bezeichnet. Die Künstlerin versucht das zu verändern und möchte die Darstellung von Frauen, ihrer Vielfalt und ihrem Lachen erweitern. Lautes und ungehemmtes Lachen birgt nicht nur Stärke und Selbstbewusstsein, sondern auch Schönheit.

Introducing the Women Laughing Project.

I want your laughter. Ok, this might sound a little weird, but I am serious. These days it is tricky to invite models for a studio shoot. And then, the ones I will invite, are usually women I know or who kind of belong to my bubble, rather then showing all diversity has to offer. Plus Women who laugh, are still pretty rare in portraits. I would like to change that a little bit. Because when laughing really hard, there is strength in it and a big dose of beauty. I would love to paint your laugh and show the world what we are made of.

So, if you are a woman or refer to yourself as one, please shoot me an email under [email protected] or via my website. I will answer with a detailed description of what I have in mind. The women who will actually become a painting, are getting a free printable jpg. of their piece.

I am very looking forward to see you laughing.
