She's a poet...


This painting (acrylic on canvas 30x60 cm) is for Katarina. Katarina is one of the most important people in my life. She's my soul mate, my friend, my support... She's my sister. We're very close. She's the only person who I share with my most precious memories, like those of our great, wise grandad, or the memories of our gentle and loving mum... We learned the same lessons from them. How to love, and be loved, how to celebrate life, how to enjoy simple things... We are connected. My sister and I. She's the artist in our family, although she works in the corporate world... but that's another story... She's a poet and her poems are.... (I'm searching for the word..... ) I don't know... (I'm still searching...) yes, MAGICAL! She plays with words. She's so powerful, that she could tame a lion only with her words. And she's MY sister! What a blessing! If you can speak Serbian you can enjoy her magical words on her own blog: Alana u zemlji klikera (Alana in the marble world), and if you can't speak Serbian, you can still enjoy, looking at her beautiful photographs.
I've started to live my dream. The dream to be an artist. I hope she will find a way to live her dream, too.

Oh my goodness, you ARE an artist, and an excellent one at that. Congratulations on pursuing your dream and your first commissioned work and your etsy shop (I hope you can work around the Paypal thing). Your paintings are brilliant!

Thank you so much for your very kind comments on my blog. And welcome to IF!

This is exquisite! The stripes all going the same way, yet not interfering but complimenting one another is brilliant. The subtle colors are perfect, and the fact she's holding a white bird against all of the black ones gathering. It's a poetic painting that I'm sure your sister will LOVE forever.
You are an artist, in your heart and through your fingers. I'm adding you to my favorites :)

Heather said...

what a beautiful painting! I love what you did with the birds. And it is so wonderful that you have such an amazing sister! You're very lucky to have that bond with someone :)

Gemina said...

OH...and only now it dawns on me... if you two are sisters, then it is perfectly clear why i have been visiting your blogs so avidly, one as well as the other... and still can't decide whether I am enjoying the power of words or the power of shapes, forms and colours more. Both are so exquisite and so immensely unique... that you and your sister can't fail to leave me breathless!

Zime - thank you, I hope she'd like it

Bella Sinclair - thanks, you're very kind

Studio Lolo - thank you very much, I did the same (put you to my favorites)

Heather - thanks, yes I'm a lucky girl, indeed

Gemina - hvala ti na ovim sjajnim rečima, i Alana bi uživala u njima da trenutno ne uživa na moru, i to bez interneta, tako da će ovo videti tek za desetak dana...

This is beautiful! It's so introspective and creates a wonderful mood. I like the little birds that surround her. You do lovely work!

dandeliondog said...

this is beautiful! love the colors - and maybe it matches her "magical" poems because this painting definitely has some magic in it.

Emily said...

What a beautiful homage and painting! So delicate and sweet!

Suana said...

This is beautiful and inventive! I love the dreamy touches in her gaze but especially what you've done with the birds and the dress... Wonderful!!

da ti priznam da sam se i jutros rasplakala od ganutosti i miline, cim sam je ugledala?
dobila je mesto iznad mog kreveta, da bude prvo sto vidim kad se probudim, da bdi dok spavam i bude moj dream catcher... ;)
obozavam je!
:)
malecka, nemas pojma koliku si mi radost priredila... mada, od tebe takve, samo tako nesto i mogu da ocekujem.
ogromno te grlim i ljubuskam Gagush moj jedini...
