  • Friends?

    I managed to finish two Life Book lessons this week. One I already posted here. The other one was a collaboration between Tam and Jane, hence my attempt to paint two different style faces. I do not know if they are supposed to be friends or mother and daughter, or both at the same time,…

  • Black Book Update

    As I said in my last post, I have re-discovered my Black Book and one unfinished drawing inside. And having my new white ink to test, it was a perfect opportunity to finish it. I loved doing the little details… This all reminds me of a stash of black paper I had somewhere… Hmmm…. I…

  • World Watercolor Month: Days 7-8

    So, my abstract watercolor ATC challenge is continuing. I have made two ATCs and one Yupo abstract over for days 7 and 8. The first one is an ATC on cold pressed watercolor paper: The second I did is this Yupo color mixing and doodling: A friend of mine on Instagram wrote it looks like…

    I think summer is finally here. We had hot weather last week and yesterday it finally rained. It was a beautiful refreshing long rain. And this morning is fresh and happy. It’s still quiet just birds singing. So… I decided to finish a long ago started spread in my art journal. Happy Summer to all!

  • Look

    Here’s another one in Book of Days series. It’s called ‘look’. I used a photo from the internet as reference. Actually the photo was of a child but I transformed it into a woman. It felt good to actually look at photo and paint as opposed to always painting my women from imagination. This way…

  • Mother

    This was the prompt in week 19 of Book of Days. In this case, it’s childless mother. Yes, in case you wonder, such mothers do exist… They will never meet their child, but motherhood is, nevertheless, deep in their bones.

  • First Holiday of the Year

    I am in Croatia at the seaside. And it’s not raining, which is quite an improvement in comparison with what I left behind. It’s sunny, but cold. It is very cold in the house, so we are trying to be outside as much as possible. The quantity of light is amazing. My soul is blooming…

  • Recharge your Energy

    Today is about pausing and maturing. Today is about releasing regrets and forgiving.  Today is the day of green and gold, the day of fruit, ripening, and protection. Today is about recharging with energy and getting ready for tomorrow.
