The Meanings

Hello everyone. I hope you all are well.  It is very cold, rainy and windy in Edinburgh today. I  found new inspiration which probably is partly caused by the weather conditions. I have started to paint women with blowing hair in the wind. I really enjoy it. My partner was having a look yesterday at  'about me' section in my blog and he made a comment that everything in my blog has to have a  meaning. So I answered  him back: 'what is the point to do things if they do not have a  meaning'. I believe that everything means something. Everything is done by us with certain, big or small but still certain intention. An intention is a meaning for me. I do not want to write or put in my blog whatever stuff, I want  to share and I hope I do with my heart, my thoughts and feelings with people.
Today I would like to present my 'Wintery Me'. I put lots of meanings in this paintings. 'Wintery Me' is a collection of my thoughts and experiences which happened and appeared before and during making it. It was definitely beautiful time and pleasure to paint it. I was listening during my painting journey wonderful voice of Lisa Gerrard and also Archive music. The tree on my picture represents a shadow of  a tree which I see every night on my bedroom window. It is a beautiful and magical shadow. I  am pleased that I could transform this shadow into my picture. There is also lots of  little hopes and disappointments in it, dreams which have never come true yet. There is life and death aspect in it too. Oh well, it is 'Wintery Me' after all.

Wintery Me


 I watched 'The Loneliest Planet' few weeks ago. It is  an amazing movie, which I highly recommend. The main woman character inspired me to paint a portrait partly of her and partly of what she represented in the movie. So it is  the portrait of a woman who is naturally beautiful  and has inner strength, who craves for love and freedom. I hope you enjoy it. Have a wonderful weekend and very Happy PPF!

  1. Aga, your Wintery Me painting is lovely. The colors are so different from your Autumn Me painting. I think it is an incredible series that you are creating. Thank you for sharing the importance of the tree. I too try to create with meaning.
    Your girl from the movie is also lovely. I am really drawn to the painting that shows mainly her eye. Inner strength is so important and you have captured that.
    I hope that you have a wonderful holiday season. Enjoy every special moment!

  14. I agree with you that there should be meaning and connectivity with our art. The wintery painting somehow seems to hold promises of renewal, maybe because of the seed pods that float around!
