This time without a painting, not because I sort of quit but there is such a mess in my photos. I hardly know how to sort them. Painting is my passion and not long ago I did a beautiful painting of shells. To me it is a step towars creativity and perfection. For some time I felt that it always be so hard for me to paint something brilliant. Fortunately it turned out that I did a good job and even my teacher praised me for my creation. It sort of boost my ego and helps me to realise that in life it is not always so hard as we think it should be. There are moments of peace and calm and there are long hours of constant scuall when you barely survive. The interesting thing about it is that you never know in what state are you in. You look back in surprise to see that it wasn't actually so bad and happy hours are still on your way.
Today I was denied a job as a kindergarden teacher just because I don't meet their expectations. I'm not disappointed or upset about it. It just happened and this is it. But my biggest victory was that at the end of the day I wasn't tensed and went bananas over it. I just stayed calm and this is an example of change which I experience more and more every day. It is a miracle I should say. Today I had a nice day no doubt about it. Everyone was nice to me and I was nice to them in return. I flipped through some magazines and looked for a moistorizer for my face. I was constantly on the move today and it was a happy day for me. Have a nice day. bye.......
Long time no see. This time I'm in the pink and constantly happy because of the progress I've made in English. For 3 months already I've been giving private lessons and I'm pleased with it a lot. I take pleasure from it and sort of enjoy it. I feel I'm back on track and just go stright towards my destiny. Above is the photo I made some time ago depicting shells of different types. I like the hues and I'm thriving. I wonder how life can change for good and it is pointless to have bad thoughts and cry over oneself.
Above I created a folk picture. I was inspired by the French painter Seraphine. I watched a film about her. She moved me a lot. The painter wasn't happy throughout her life but she devoted everything to painting. Every single penny was spent on her hobby. She was impoverished but painting gave her strenght. She was inspired by nature, trees, leaves. What is interesting about her is that she blended hues to achieve her own special outcomes. F.ex: She used blood to achieve red. I take after a primitive painter.
Today another nice photo of my drawing. It depicts the Himba tribe as usual. I love the colour of their skin. It is so smooth and spotless. I love any culture in general, because it explains how people behave and do in any circumstances. I consider Himba a dynamic tribe with its own traditions. I don't perceive them as people without any restrictions. I have an idea how they live and to which restrictions they are submitted. Their life is toil and being many times forced to marry someone they don't love. Another obstacle is sticking to their culture despite of the foreign culture which imposes its own rules. Some say the Himba culture is dying out. Maybe there is something in it. But still it is a miracle that they survived with their culture intact in the 20 century.
In September I came back to pastels. I think I feel it. I want to portray Africa of course its indigenous people. Above is the Massaj warrior playing on his instrument . I suppose he's calling other warriors to go hunting. I'm fascinated by Africa. Though its people are poor, their bodies are adorned with beautiful and colourful beads. They are very dynamic and adore dancing. I would like to take part in African dances once in a while. I want to come back to mother nature. Sometimes I think I need a special rest from my thoughts, get in touch with simple and poor people of Africa. When you are poor and happy then I think you grasped the essence of life. All you have to do is dancing and singing in the rain and smear your body with ochre and animal fat like the Himba do. This is the secret why their skin is so smooth and without any spots.
Above I portrayed the Masaaj because they also have an interesting culture. They drink cow's blood and take care of their hair and body which is also embellished with little colourful beads and string neckleces.
No that's it. I wish you a happy day. So by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lately I've had some problems with my blog that's why I didn't manage to insert a new post but never mind better luck next time. As I told you I started painting icons. They are not perfect but thay are mine. I like them . They are sort of childish. Painting for me is a harder technique than using pastels for example.
My holidays I spent working and painting as usuall. Art takes over my life thoroughly. I must say that using oil paints is quite expensive. They quickly run out and I must buy new ones but it pays off because with paints you can do incredible things fe: build up a perspective, light and shades if you are a skilled painter. So have a nice day. Pay a visit to my blog from time to time.
This picture depicts the sunny region of Tuscany. I love Italy for their love of life and cusine. It is art. You can not describe something unspeakable. My emotions towards Italy are so strong that it is hard to express let alone to imagine. The picture is done in oil and any corrections are added by my master. It is art. you should only look at it in this way.
