A bit of everything this time.This is the best description of recent days. I have been through days without energy and then I have been through days which brought lots of smile on my face and peace in my heart. Life keeps itself in balance I suppose. It has been warm and sunny in Edinburgh. I came back to painting (finally). When I was visiting my friend Weronika in London a few weeks ago, we were looking through her photo album from childhood. The whole album completely inspired me. It was such a completion of captured memories, mostly in black and white, so pure and peaceful. 'Weronika' painting is based on one of the photos. It was love from first sight. I knew that I wanted to paint it from first glance.

Edinburgh is covered in wires (tribute to Gian Marco)
The beach described verbally: blue, lots of blue, sun, barbecue smell, water, water and sand, lots of sand, people, children, dogs and sandcastles, happiness.
Wishing you all a lovely, creative and happy week.

You captured something truly remarkable in "Untouchable." Looking at it, I get the exact feeling I have when I see a bird soaring. That's pretty amazing. I love the way you rendered the sky and clouds, as well.
ReplyDeleteThese paintings are amazing - you made such good use of black and white. They are expressive and beautifully executed. Thanks for this great post.
ReplyDeleteWonderful my dear friend! Expressive and moving...... x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paintings Aga. I love both, each with it's unique feel and memory. The photographs are lovely as well and I particularly like the one of you two in the reflection.Beautiful post and thanks for sharing.

Those are wonderful, Aga! What a fun thing to be inspired by (and your inspiration is contagious! I can imagine creating with family photographs as inspiration and it fills me with excitement!).
ReplyDeleteSending big hugs your way, sweet, creative friend.
Love the first painting Aga.. I have realized that I haven´t visited your blogs for some time now, and I love all the beautiful images you have added...
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely post, dear Aga. I really like your painting of Weronika -- the shadows are great -- and the reflection photo is fantastic!!
