It's wonderful to have such a friend...


Sandra is a friend, who I’ve known for about ten years. You’d think when you’ve known someone for 10 years, you know everything about them. I learned yesterday that Sandra is horrified by mistakes. I don’t like mistakes, either. (who does, anyway?) So, every post I write in my pretty imperfect English, I email to Sandra (she’s an English teacher), and only after her correction I publish it. In fact, I wanted to say that Sandra is someone who you can rely on. It’s wonderful to have such a friend. This picture, which I painted especially for her, is my way to keep that balance. Maybe all this sounds like barter, but, it isn’t like that, at all. I often get lost when I try to explain something abstract in words, like the feeling that the world is a safer place when you’ve got a friend like Sandra.

Your text is really sensitive and the painting is very sweet and I love her Modigliani-like face :)

Sandra said...

Ok, time for me to comment on the post about me :)
I do love the painting, especially since it's me and my dog. I've had dogs for over 10 years, which is, actually, how Dragana and I met.
She's been doing different things for a while now, like these paintings, clocks, stationery, mugs, collages... Yes, she is a truly versatile artist :)
I'm lucky to have many of her works around my place and am so proud she's decided to start this blog and share them with you all :) I'm thrilled to see she's already created a nice little community!
So, here's to Dragana and hope we get to see more of her wonderful work every day :)

Beautiful work Dragana, I love your style! And I love the fact that you created the art in honor of your friend and that you help each other out. What would we do without our girls, right?
