September

Life. Is. Simple - when I look at the trees in the evening light, when I pick the leaves, when I listen to my heart, when I give myself time, when I smell an autumn air in the morning, when I act with love and kindness.
I started to paint again...

The gifts of nature I

Hello beautiful souls! Autumn is here. It has been a quite hard few weeks with lots of ups and downs. I decided to slow down a bit with amount of work which I am taking to be able to connect with myself again, with my needs and creativity. I did my last workshop at The New Earth Works. It was an interesting and inspiring in many ways experience. The most important was creating simple works using natural materials which gave me a sense of lost and found connection with nature. Also I have been working on commission painting for good few weeks now. It is nearly done and I cannot wait to start painting my pieces again. 
Have a lovely autumn!

Dry and wet

The last day of August. I am filling myself up with new inspirations and time. It has been beautiful ,sunny and warm day. I enjoyed getting my feet wet in surprisingly warm sea water.
I am ready for September and autumn's days to come.

Wordless

 This is almost a wordless post. Let the paintings speak and communicate visually for themselves.

Perception

More signs of autumn can be seen every day. Summer is still here but gradually is giving away space and time to autumn. It has been a very creative summer for me this year. I experienced creating with other people through workshops at The New Earth Works. This creativity brought lots of new ideas and inspirations. I was inspired by nature and people who I was creating with. I also met a beautifully talented artist who happened to live just opposite to my place. Sometimes we do not have to look far. Sometimes inspirations and other gifts which we ask for are closer than we realize. Justyna introduced me to the printing techniques which I would like to practice in the near future. I love her perception of looking and understanding art. She sees through unseen and her perception of art is very inspiring as well.
My first baby prints. They are little memories and traces of summer.

August

Listening to Nina Simone, sitting in front of the fire, appreciating rainy evening. An autumn is coming, slowly, slowly, slowly...

I made this candle holder jar at The New Earth Works workshop. Appreciating summer gifts of nature and spontaneously creating a memory of it. 

Creative summer

It has been such a creative, experimental and busy summer so far. So many inspirations came and there is still so much to learn.

I hope you are having nice, sunny and happy summer too!
