hand captures mind,s thoughts – pleases a captive audience
David in Maine USA
Thank you so much David for your beautiful haiku comment, and for your beautiful haikus in your blog!
I really like this, Marina. Something a bit magical in it. I see a squirrel in the eye which just sends my mind off in different directions. Wonderful.
…I can see that squirrel too! Thank you, Katie for your creative vision!
moustache makes character
(so says my cat)
Hmmm, a cat critic…!! Thank you, cat!
This is so awesome, the strokes so smooth! i bet you can paint a perfect circle!
Hmmmm, I don’t know about perfect, I sure do LOTS of them! Thank you Jayanth!!
I always love the free quick movements of your stokes. There’s no hesitation, but they are intentional.
Strokes, not stokes. I need food.
Someone once told me that I work like a diver, on one breath. Truth is there’s a lot of work behind this, and many many many previous ones ending up in the dust bin, so I appreciate even more your very kind comment. I’m really glad you like them. Thank you, Jennifer. [bon appetit!]
Marina, I totally love this one. The lines form such a gorgeous twist, a labyrinthine of mind and heart. You ought to exhibit your work Marina!!! Remain in touch. Cheers.
Thanks so much Shaheen for your kind words! These paintings -titled “Characters”- are from my first solo exhibition in Athens [Epohes Gallery], in 1999. I am now in the process of preparing another, so I will let you know where and when. Thanks again for the encouragement, I really appreciate it.

Talking in one’s sleep?
