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.

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

HELLO!
Some time ago I was browsing through the old photographies, and I found the ones from the Łazienki Park in Warsaw. Among them was a photo of a peahen surrounded by pansies which inspired me to create a colourful graphic.

At the beginning of experimenting, I cut this photo and edited it a little bit.
HELLO!
One day I thought that it might be a good idea to create a collage similar to Melancholy once again. By similar, I mean layering a paper with clipped parts on another paper (or cardboard) with press cuttings pasted on it.
As for work from today's post I came up with a concept of a collage made on circular media (after among the sunflowers I wanted to do tondo work again) with a horoscope as a main theme. What's the reason for choosing this theme? I've simply gathered lots of cuttings from horoscopes because I saw in them the potential for an interesting dada poem, or collage. I chose the collage option.
So, let's begin.
So, after I prepared a paper circle, and also a cardboard circle, I started drawing a silhouette of female fortuneteller with her crystal ball on the paper one. Above you can see a first draft.
HELLO!
From time to time I like to have fun with turning photos into surreal graphics. Generally, I chose photos showing trees, and trees are present in a photo which You can see below.

| Photo from June 2021. It shows old stairs in the nearby park. |
But this time trees aren't the main characters.
I decided to focus on a part with old stonen stairs instead.
So, I cut this fragment of photo, and edited it slightly.
HELLO!
Spring came, and it is a pleasure to look at a gradual awakening of nature.
So, in today's post I'd like to show you a drawing of a young woman holding flowers.

HELLO!
Recently an idea of portraying Snow White was tagging along me. It was nagging me quite intrusively so eventually, I decided to make it come true.
What may seem interesting it's not the first time I drew a work with Snow White. There's already 6th comic strip from the series "the Four Seasons in Four Frames" on this blog.
Below there's a very first draft of Snow White.
My first idea for depicting princess was showing her holding an apple, and looking curiously at a fruit. But as much as I was staring at my first draft of this concept I was feeling a lack of something.
HELLO!
If You come by my blog from time to time, then surreal graphics based on a photos of trees are nothing new to You. I sometimes like to take photos of the trees. I find them oddly inspiring.
In today's post I'd like to show You another work created thanks to a photo of trees.

| In February 2023 I took this photo in the nearby forest. |
So, I cropped a fragment from an above photo, and dived into experimenting.
HELLO!
So, as usual in the beginning of the new year I will briefly summarise what happened on the a-r-tistic blog in previous year. I'll try to bring up threads concerning changes on the blog, and also potential things I would like to do in 2025.
SO, LET'S BEGIN!
