Traces
It is slightly and very delicately snowing in Edinburgh now. We put up our Christmas tree. It is our fourth Christmas tree together. I have not done much art this week but I have had definitely creative week so far. It has been creative week in thoughts and little discoveries and also I was organising my creative space. I was sorting my works and having look through my very, very first drawings. The more I was looking at them the more peaceful I felt with myself. Sometimes I am very critical to myself and to my art as well but when I was looking at my drawings I understood that honestly it does not matter so much are they good or bad because THEY ARE PART OF Me. They all are like a big map of my experiences and memories. They all are little traces of my moods and thoughts and even of places where I used to live. They all live in that precise moment of time when I was creating them. That part of me which I left on the paper is still there and always will be. I am so happy that I can create such memories. My last painting is based on photograph which I took few weeks ago. I wanted and needed to paint that memory. A memory of beginning of our little, daily celebrations and gratitudes, beginning of winter time, us, our love and my love. Happy PPF!!!!

Love your post today. I'm with you on the 'always being a part of you' bit. My post today is of some paintings I did when I was about 13 years old - I can still remember doing them!
ReplyDeleteThe painting is perfect for the weather. Brrrr.....
Love how the shapes and colors of the scarf,jacket and background make this painting half abstract, very strong atmosphere! Love the bold colors, too!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you did this composition by placing him to the side! You are so right that our art is a part of us! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I love your style, the way everything is broken down into shape, color and texture. I LOVE this painting! I think as artists, we ALL tend to be critical of our work- it's just who we are, and what we do!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF,

Aga, this painting is wonderful. It is so strong and dramatic. I love the way you describe your work. I have just come to realize that my paintings always bring back a memory too. They are a part of me that I have come to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteI love the simple boldness of this painting-really wonderful!! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteLoving the strength of your colours in this fab painting. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting piece... so lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery striking painting! I think the eyes are very expressive. I liked the grey wintery background and the heavy warm clothes. I feel attached to my paintings too and trace my thoughts at the moment through them...:-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful job, Aga. I love the bold colors (and the eyes matching the hat). Captures more than just the photograph and I think that's because it's clear your memory and emotion have been rendered in the painting.
ReplyDeleteThe painting of the rose hips (I think) in your last post are so lovely, too.
I've enjoyed getting a glimpse into your art here!
great post Aga. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on your art. it is interesting to look back on old work and remembering that time and the inspirations that inspired you to create, and what a great way to abolish that inner critic!
ReplyDeleteI love your painting - it makes me want to have hot chocolate and curl up with a good book!! Happy belated Paint Party Friday!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful post, and I recognised the photo from the picture :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple (in appearance!) and strong portrait.
ReplyDeleteI really love it.
