the Poetic Graphics: with the willowy hair

 HELLO!


This year I created a poem inspired by a view I saw during the stroll in one of the parks in Cracow. I saw a quite lovely pond with a small island. There was a really big willow on this island. 

The original title of mentioned poem is wśród wierzbowych włosówHERE You can read this if You want to. I translated this poem in order to make it a part of the Poetic Graphics series, and show it on a specially designed background.

Below there is an effect of my work.

a flame of curiosity

 HELLO!


Some time ago I took a brown crayon and sketched a rear-facing lady in a long dress. 

I took a liking to it so much that the next step were pastels.

I thought that pastels could nicely help in achieving a fantastic picture. A picture which may be a dream, or a fantasy universe.

Below there are photos showing further phases of a creative process.

peacock graphics

 HELLO!


Back in May 2016 I visited Łazienki Park in Warsaw. There I saw not only beautiful buildings and nature but also lots of peacocks. I'm mentioning this because one of the photos showing a peacock led me to experiment a bit in graphics software.


Peacock strolling in the gardens of Łazienki Park in Warsaw. I took this photo in May 2016.

When I look at this photo it seems to me as if peacock was emerging from flowers, or walking on the surface of flowers. I found this part of photo fascinating.

a ghostly presence's stroll

 HELLO!


Do You happen to remember my post about a drawing dreaming in the meadow? I asked because once again a photo from a thin tiny book with variety of aphorisms (e.g. "Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand." by Thomas Carlyle) inspired me to create a work. To be precise - a pastel.


In the upper left corner there is a mentioned photo from this little book.

Lone tree among the lavender field - this scenery stimulates imagination.

sleeping fluffiness

 HELLO!


Lately I found an interesting photo on Twitter (user: Gianni, published 27.10.2024) which inspired me to create a pastel. It was showing a lovely white cat sleeping on a windowsill.

Below there's a mentioned pastel.
