Painting

I had an intensive week not as much with painting (I was a bit limited with time) as thinking what painting means to me. What painting means to me? Painting means a lot for me . Painting is a expressing love to myself and life. It is sharing myself with others and learning to love myself and life more. Painting is an endless lesson for me. It is a lesson of being aware and seeing more. Painting is like a meditation. It calms me down and make more patient. Painting is a way to save my memories. I am sure I will find more meanings through my painting journey. All these thoughts and meanings came to me during painting my last portraits.
What painting means to you?

  3. it truly is a blessing to have art in your life. 'A Godsend' some might say. I totally agree with what you say, painting strips away all the negative thoughts that occupy my mind and I always feel much happier and positive when i paint.
    i love the work you have done, I often use limited palettes. Your subjests look very peaceful.

  12. Mmm. I think painting to me means color... any color I want, as much of it as I want. :) And since I just attempted a self-portrait I'm not very happy with, today painting also means frustration. ;b But you inspire me to keep going and try again! <3

  13. Aga, both portraits are beautiful. They both show such strength and peace! You are very talented.

    I am usually a very calm peaceful person but when I paint I am even more so. I love to paint from memories and to create something that I think is beautiful. My paintings don't have to be technically correct for me to like them, they just have to bring a feeling of peacefulness. I am learning to really observe the world because of my paintings and that is a good thing. Have a wonderful weekend.

  14. your portraits always "speak". They are about people and not about photographs in paint. I love your work and the post as well. HPPF

  17. Wonderful faces! I really like the man - is he enjoying music? the wind in his face? both?

    P.S. Did you know you still have word verification/captcha on? It makes it extremely difficult for people to comment...

  18. Dear Eva, I am really really sorry for this inconvenience. I did not know about that and to be honest I am not very good at things like this. So I apologize. Thank you very much for your comment.
