the Poetic Graphics: green small plane

HELLO!

So, You see, in September 2023 I put up a poem on my other blog. A poem was inspired by a fascinating sight - a green toy aeroplane got stuck in the cherry tree in someone's garden.

HERE You can read the poem in my mother tongue, its title is zielony samolocik. I thought it might be a good idea to translate this poem, and then turn it into a graphic being a part of "the Poetic Graphics".

Below there is a net result of my work.

As always a translation was quite a challenge for me.

the Poetic Graphics: where did christmas tree hide

 HELLO!

On February 2020 I arranged a short poem concerning a tough relationship between cats and Christmas trees because of disassembling the Christmas tree, and The World Cat Day (in Poland it's celebrated on 17th February). 

I've translated my poem to English. The original one you can read THERE.

Below you can read a poem in a form of "the Poetic Graphic". 

You can also find it on my account on Pinterest.

In order to find the perfect background I chose a certain photo as the main inspiration.

Hanami but it is a collage poem

 Hello! 🌸

   I was wondering for a while where should I present my work - there or on my blue blog with poems (subjects of my blog are interchanging regardless). My hesitation came from usage of polish language in poem's arrangement. Few days ago I was doing some clearing-up in my drawer. I found the old papers, photocopies and flyers. 

   Between them I noticed a printout of my short essay concerning hanami - japanese custom which consists in watching flowers of cherry trees. With the beginning of the Spring, people listen carefully weather forecasts and their full pariculars in the matter of sakura zensen (cherry blossom front which is crossing through islands from South to North). Thanks to those informations people can appropriately prepare for hanami. 

They celebrate a subtle, ephemeral beauty of cherry blossom in the parks, in the palatine gardens or at the cemeteries. The last of the mentioned places actually correspond strongly with a symbolism of gentle flowers, associated with the passing.

   I've decided to cut some words from this essay and arrange a poem.

   Why not?

the Poetic Graphics: the Uncertainty

 Hello!

     Now's the turn for the fifth post concerning a cycle the Poetic Graphics. This time I made a graphic with english version of my ekphrasis based on Frida Kahlo's the Broken Column (and you could familiarise with original version there). During reading her biography, I emphatised with Mexican artist pretty much... And that was the reason why I wrote this poem.

Relax with a Violet Crayon

 Hello! 

     In today's post you'll see a spontaneous drawing. From time to time I like to make some doodles because it's relaxing. To be honest I do not know if I've got a notebook which wasn't ornamented with drawings of various ladies, animals (mainly cats), flowers, ornaments, etc. Some of them happened to inspire me to create something bigger (as examples I can point at a pastel the Expectation of Shooting stars or drawing Wisp of Galadriel's hair). Yup, before them were little sketches made on margins or notebooks' covers ❤

     And yesterday I was trying to relax after baking gingerbread cookies. And during my efforts I took a paper, violet crayon and started drawing this lady.

reaching for..., crayons (violet & pink) on paper, 14,8 x 21 cm, 21 XII 2020.

 

    

      I haven't got any special plans for this drawing... I felt pretty concerned during drawing. At some point I've decided to add a pink colour.

     As a title I chose reaching for... because the Violet Lady is reaching for something... What is it exactly? A dream? A guitar? A pencil? A pen? An amazing book? Another human's hand? A cookie cutter? Well, I don't know - let this be a kind of a wiggle room.

For now, let me 

wish You All, my dear Readers

lots of Health, Love, Strength,

and Peaceful and Joyful Christmastime

against all odds!

✎ Have a Nice Day! 🎄

Dianthuses

Hello!

In the last beautiful day of August I want to show you my pastel with dianthuses. I only heard somewhere that they're considered as a symbol of boldness. Don't know if it was truth but it was my gift for one special person.

Please, take a look.

Have a nice day!
