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!
Honestly I've never got a chance to create something on a circular medium.
And I was really curious how will I deal with that.
So it became my aim - a tondo. Tondo is a term for a work of art created on a circular medium.
And today's the chance to show how I dealt with this chalenge.
I was wondering a bit about what I want to draw, or paint on a circular paper. I came up with an idea of a romance between an acrylic paint and a black pen. It's not the first time I'm doing this kind of experiment (previous works: lost in the dream, At first sight?).
Below you can see the net result of my work.
HELLO!
So, here comes the new work from the series Wild Fantasy which was developing for a quite long amount of time. I'm not even sure how long this post will be, it definitely will be pretty long (I hope you won't feel bored during reading this).
Before I get stuck in showing the creative process of today's work let me remind You what is Wild Fantasy. This series consists of the black-and-white pictures with colourful accent which were made with pens. All of them happened because of ideas recorded on paper as doodles - ideas showing ladies in outfits with colourful accent with animals, and sometimes with flowers (it depends from the background I chose for the picture - sometimes it's the environment, sometimes it's architecture). So far I've created images with colours like green, blue, red, and violet. Actually, back in 2023 I intended to make a picture with the yellow accent. Due to the certain circumstances, I've reached a conclusion that it would be better to realise a picture with violet accent first, and save the yellow one for later.
So now, let's start the long story about the Wild Fantasy with yellow accent.
Enjoy!
This doodle was the starting point. Here you see long-haired lady with white top, and a full-length skirt with spiral ornament. This skirt was supposed to be yellow. As for spiral ornament - it's supposed to be Klimt's reference. I imagined this particular figure surrounded by an environment in the style of Art Nouveau.
HELLO!
In previous year I made lost in the dream. This work was different because I used acrylic paints for the first time. Additionally I used black pens in order to draw on a painted cardboard. I found this experiment so entertaining that I made another work in similar manner.
You can look at this work below.

HELLO!
Lately I was experimenting with combining random colours into abstract graphics.
One of those graphics which you see below gave me a vibe of sunset.

Got to like this graphic so I decided to continue work with There's no title.
HELLO!
Few days ago I was baking a mazurek (traditional cake for Easter), and I simply looked through the window. Once again I was strongly impressed by colours of the sunset. This time it was splendid combination of violet and yellow hidden behind the trees on the horizon.
Those colours and trees inspired me to transfer my impressions on a cardboard with oil pastels.
Here's result of my work.

My Dear Followers,
here comes the Easter,
and I wish You All the Best!

HAPPY EASTER!
HELLO!
After quite a long time the eight comic strip of the series "the Four Seasons in Four Frames" shows up here. This time it's Summer's turn.
PLOT:
In the vicinity of the medieval castle ruins Summer was walking and eating Sunflower seeds (as a pastime activity) when she noticed that the way is blocked by the flock of birds.
You will find the translation of the bubble below the comic.
ENJOY!
Hello!
Yesterday I was searching for an inspiration for backgrounds for the future "the Poetic Graphics". Among all of those old photographies I've found the one from over four years which you could contemplate below.
 |
| I've made this photo in November 2016 during a walk. |
Those trees and their branches looked marvellous. Thanks to them a photography resembles a painting with craquelures.
It looks so fascinating that I started experimenting with photo in graphic software. To be honest I was a bit surprised by the final effect.
Hello!
Today's post will involve another part of a cycle the Poetic Graphics with a poem from two years ago. Its main theme concerned an apathy and lack of motivation (original version is available THERE).
