Warm warm greetings back to you, John! Thank you so much for the nomination. I am honored!
beautiful work and a great bio – feel free to add me on my other social sites
Thank you so much Dean!
I most certainly would, but I do not FB or twit.
I enjoy reading your work very much [already a follower!]
Marina, beautiful work and vision. I’m envious of anyone with the ability to create images and am endlessly inspired by that thought. Your work does that and in just a few minutes of browsing your images, I get the same from your work. Thank you for this and keep up the stunning work. I look forward to following you! EE
Thank you so much for your compliments Eric. It is also my pleasure following your blog. I admire your amazing photographs!
As an artist myself, I really like your ideas as well as your technique and feel for art- it is subtle and well-made.
Thank you very much!
I truly appreciate your kind comment – coming from another artist!
Your profile pic reminds me of Anjani Thomas’ on Leonard Cohen produced, “Blue Alert”. Good thing, too, for if not that I may have passed by this wonderful site. Looking forward to more posting of your fabulous art.
Thank you very much for this kind compliment!!! I’m very flattered! I also look forward to your great posts!
Hi Maria, you visited the blog of someone that I follow, and I enjoyed looking at your art prints, really enjoyed the trees. Very dream like in my opinion.
Thank you very much Jim, I truly appreciate it. I just visited your wonderful blog too!
Thanks Maria! How do you like using image kind? Right now I am currently selling my work on a http://www.fineartamerica.com, and society6.
I don’t have a full opinion on Imagekind yet… It is very easy to use and with good features but I’m not sure about sales and technical support. Still it may be too early. How are you doing on FAA?
Well I have been on FAA since June and have had quite a few likes and comments, however I have yet to make a sale. I am constantly on the look out for another source to sell my photographs.
Have a go at Imagekind. You can always start off with a free account and -if you see results- upgrade it. It’s really easy to set it up! Let me know if you do.

Art on wax? That’s something i have not heard before! Loved the 1-6 design and the green orange wax art! really impressed with the blog and your work Marina! its as good as a perfectly cooked Loukoumades!
Thank you, Jayanth! I see you are a fan of loukoumades! [or maybe my circle in the background evoked it!!!]
Haha! i tried it at a new restaurant in my city! its called Kryptos! but i guess nothing beats the real loukoumades in your country!
