"In a spa"

This picture I called:"In a spa"'cause it was done from a paper about Egipt and its tourist offers. I like it , because it shows the human body in an interesting way. In general, I'm fond of interesting view on the body, i.e. from above, from the side, etc. Here there is the woman on the bed undergoing a theraphy.

For I like mentioning new films which I saw, now I'd like to recommend to you the film: "Stand and deliver". As you suppose it's not about a shop assistant but about a math teacher who managed to teach advanced math to lazybones. The scenery is an American school with a Spanish minority, teenagers without a future and a math teacher who devotes everything to help the youngsters in their education and the future university admission. First of all ,I like the film because it's connected with my proffesion, that's why maybe I find it appealing. I saw the film a thousand times and each time I perceive it different. Each time I ask myself a question how to teach to be successful. In my opinion 2 things decide about you being a successful teacher. First a great deal of knowledge and the efficient way of passing on that knowledge to the others. That's a success. Maybe it's not an action movie, or a romantic one but it shows that no one should be set aside or rejected like it was in the case of that Spanish minority. Everyone should be given a chance to change for the better. That second chance is needed and maybe more important that the first one.

Have a nice watching, Ela.

"Showing her bare back"

Recently, I've lacked words to express myself. Here you have a nude act. In general , all my new drawings are devoted to the body . For about a month I have been practising this theme. It's quite a tricky task. I'm a begginer as far as that topic is concerned. I hope you like it.

Have a nice watching, Ela.

"Pregnancy"

I must tell you one thing: I'm fond of pregnancy and fertility. Maybe it's because I've never been pregnant. In general, this state is so beautiful spiritually and phisically. It's like a meditation, bearing a new life inside. That's a big secret. I like photos which show pregnancy in a pretty way, not in beautiful dresses, but naturally. Here I managed to depict pregnancy as naturally as it can be. I think it shows the beauty of pregnancy at the same time hiding the "strategic places". Now I must be going. Have a nice watching, bye

"A female sitting on the desk"

Hi, today I feel such a void, though I'm gonna add some comment to this drawing. I won't tell you I don't like it, but what bugs me is that the parts of the body are underlined to much which makes the picture less natural. The picture is bigger than the photo , her limbs are a bit cut off in the photo. According to my mum the woman looks too old, for me it's ok.

I'll come back to the film "Eat, pray, love"with Julia Roberts. There, her mentor teaches her how to meditate. It doesn't mean I ask you to meditate, the point is that he offers a different type of meditation. He says:" When you meditate, always smile with your mind and with your liver." I tried to do it yesterday and I tell you it is such a relief. It helps you to accept all the things you rejected. It applies to me.

Have a nice watching, Ela.

"Pearls on the satin"

I think I'll leave this post without a comment.

Have a nice watching, Ela.

"Despair"

Today I feel sort of confused and disappointed. Something tells me that what I'm doing is wrong. I try to question it. I fight with these thoughts, but will I ever succede? Here the drawing presents my state of mind. Despair it is called. Sometimes I think my drawings are only sketches, preparation for something bigger, more valuble. It's more learning than creating something of importance. My last but not least set is devoted to the body with some exeptions. You can find it out on Flickr.

Let me remind you of the film "Eat, pray, love"where J. Roberts is starring. I remember a scene from the film where the heroine is sitting in an old temple and says to herself: "We are unhappy, because we are afraid to change the state we are in."Certainly it's true. This thought turns my life upside down. It is not peaceful but rebellious. It urges you to do something to realise from your shackles. In the begining you feel strong but then you come back to where you were. That's a trap. Now I'm in doubt. I think over my life and you know what. Either I'm powerless or completly unable to move on. I feel paralised, but this film gives me hope that one day I'll deside one something crazy in a positive sense and finally see that it was so easy to change my life though then I felt rigid, unable of any move. I know that maybe it is sort of boring to you but I've heard that if God closes the door for you , He opens a window. I must look for it necessarily.

Have a nice day, Ela.
