Art

This is one of my favourite pictures of my cat. He is cute. What is more I'm fascinated by the play of light and shade. It looks beautiful on every picture and painting. Here the colours are also amazing. To me it has got a calming effect.
Now maybe about art because this post is goinng to be about it. Well, I noticed that simple lines of colour on the painting can change everything. It can magnify something or make something smaller. Hence, you should be very careful with your painting, because one line can bring out the good points of it.This is it.

My private musings on art

I didn't post anything for a very long time. Since that time many thoughts passed through my mind. This is my custom to have many musings about art. Maybe because I deal with it most of the time. I observe and draw conclusions from my failures and little triumphs. One thing is for sure: you should accept yourself the way you are in art. Otherwise you inhibit your headway. I already wrote about it so I wont ponder on it much.
From some time as I admire various works of art one thing comes to my mind. It is that the end process should be more valued than the amount of work and effort you put into your painting. This is something that bothers me for some time. Maybe it is like our life. The end decides about your eternal life. The same applies to art.

Here you can see my paining in oil.

black woman with a kerchief

Today we have a hot and lazy day. Sometimes I wonder how it is possible to live in Tuscany where they have only hot days and good food. Above you can see a black woman from Africa graced with a kerchief. I suppose this is the last of my Africa paintings. I 'd like to do some more.

a tribal woman

 

Today I just want to add a new post.

black himba

I love himba tribe. They are amazing and one of a kind. Here you can see a Himba women who washes her body with smoke. In this way Himba people purify their bodies because water is very little in Namibia-this is where they live. It is in the south of Africa.

A black mammy with a child

Today I'm thinking about the fact that life can change very quickly for better and for worse. I've just read about a family which chose Tuscany as their destination and decided to stay there permamently. I also think about it but I have no funds and somehow I still hope that I can fullfil my dream. I want to stay there and earn money by painting. Maybe somehow my life can change.
I love Italy maybe not for the sun but for wonderful evenings.  I long for Italy but I know that a woman can't stay there alone.

A black woman with coins

Today I feel melancholy. As I mentioned in the previous post I had had a vernisage. It was my first time with so many people. My art teacher was present and feel honoured by this. The atmosphere was nice and people were great. I got a selection of paintbrushes. The owner of that restaurant earned some money because many persons ordered ice cream desserts. It was my first time with so many people. I even got a proposition to run a short painting course. I was amazed by this. 
      For some time I painted black women which was great for me. I have a different perception of beauty. I admire black people for their supple bodies, their graceful movements. Above you can see a black women adorned with special coins. I devoted much time to her lips which are chapped.
By for now. See you tomorrow.

My eye-catching mulatto

Hello. Now we have a hot summer. I had a special event that is my vernisage where there were many people invited. We had a wonderful time. One think is curious to me. I looked through my blog and came to the conclusion that there are just a few my pictures. Thre is a wide selection of my pastels but only few my paintings. On my vernisage I exhibited only my oil paintings and I'm proud of them. What is so peculiar is that the owner of the cafe where the vernisage took place was interested in my mulattos and black women. I'm happy to share them with you and I hope to exhibit them on my blog. Above you can see my mulatto which is admired by many people. I love Africa and this is my selection of new paintings. I hope you will like them too.

My development

Today I start writing. It is my next post. Still I do many paintings . It is my way of life. The way I express my emotions , the way I take out things on people. My experience is bigger and and I made a decision to depict Africa. Thus , I emarked on painting black people. It is not as perfect as you may think but the paintings resemble black people. In this way I experience a different culture.

Not a long time ago I took part in devine worship and there I had an opportunity to listen to a missionary from Africa. I heard about overwhelming poverty there and the thing that people have to get to grips with basic problems such a s food or water.What I foud the most striking was that African people are very emotinonal. During church services they dance and sing and it seems to me so natural. I was moved by that.

Deep in my heart I felt that I must go there and meet those people. They win my heart. Maybe I will be a missionary one day who knows
