reaching out to the sky

 HELLO!


It happened again. The very same thing which happened in case of works like dreaming in the meadow, or a ghostly presence's stroll. Once again I got inspired by photo from tiny thin book with aphorisms (e.g., "True freedom is to have power over oneself for everything." by Michel de Montaigne). Well, to be precise two photos were my inspirations this time.

First of the mentioned photos - a landscape with 2 trees.

Second of the mentioned photos shows a laid table 
among the flowers.

the Poetic Graphics: a parting song

 HELLO!


A year ago I was observing with the highest interest how birds (mostly swallows) are gathering on the power lines before their departure to the warm countries. The result of that observation was a poem pożegnalna pieśń which I published on my other blog (HERE You can read a poem if You want).

So, maybe You are wondering why am I writing this? The reason is simple. 

I decided to translate this poem, then create a graphic background for it, thus making it a part of "the Poetic Graphics" series.

Below there is the net result of my work.

drawing of Santa Croce in Florence

 HELLO!


Today I'd like to show You a drawing of Santa Croce in Florence. When I saw a certain photo on Pinterest (a Pin described as "Santa Croce, Florence" by user Maro), I thought it might be a good challenge to draw it. And it was. Not only because of my problems with drawing a perspective but also with dealing with the heat (it was so hot I understood how snowman must feel when Spring is near).

So, below, the first two photos shows phases of drawing.

the Poppy Wreath

 HELLO!


Last time a romance between an acrylic paint and a black pen happened was in the end of 2024. So, I thought it'd be great to create another one. I came up with a work showing a woman with a wreath on her head. 

I hope You'll be able to feel the summer vibes from the picture which is visible below.


the Poppy Wreath, acrylic paints and a black pen on a paper, 19,5 x 14.5 cm.

Firstly, I applied colours like yellow, green, and red on a paper with acrylic paints.

tea doodles

 HELLO!


You may find today's post a little bit unusual

What's not unusual is my proclivity to doodling on anything. This time I took small cardboards from a teabox. I mean the ones which divide a space in a teabox, so it's possible to maintain the order between teabags. That's why I called this little project "tea doodles".

So far, I draw five of them. I let the pens had the time of their lives on these little cardboards. 

They are below, look at them boldly.

Among leafy ornamentation one lady is whispering something to the ear of another lady. One may wonder why the whispering one is having a green hand. Is she a fairy?
