Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog for a little while. I had a great time — love your work — and tried to leave my campsite as clean as when I arrived. I’ll be back!
Thank you for camping here and I hope you come back again! You are welcome any time, Russel! I too enjoyed my little trip to your beautiful pages …will be back!
Thank you for following Storyteller. — Ray
You are very welcome, Ray.
Remarquable série … on ne se lasse pas de regarder toutes tes oeuvres! De toute beauté et de sérenité (sauf la série “le mort ” d’après Bataille, forte et noire celle-là) …Very good job!
Je reviendrai d’ici peu pour voir les plus anciennes …
Cordialement
Eric
I’m very flattered, Eric. Thank you so much for visiting and for your insightful comments.
Beautiful! It looks like a lovely reflection, and I like the balance in this!
Thank you, Fergie!
I love the energy in this one.
Thank you!
All that is above
is also below.
The invisible inside
eventually is projected outward.
EXACTLY! [thank you Dominique!]
One of your best!
My dear mate, I love this one! It’s fresh, spiritual and a sense of metamorphosis. Gorgeous colours that feel “alive” — a symphony of Marina in C major ! You are a gem!
Thank you so much sweet Shaheen! [Likewise!]
Truly beautiful work
I love it.
Thank you, Adam. I’m glad you like it!
Beautiful piece. It works on so many levels. It draws you in. As you walk, float, fly or swim. It’s all there. Poetry in form.
So nicely said, Walter. Thank you!
Is a tree that is based on the balance of mass, shape, proportion with the height, width and flare: all interesting elements in this watercolor that shows the sides, some labeled as a “memory” just stopped raining.
If I “read” a tree, I see the lights and shadows clearly marked, in order to make the offer that fullness and symmetry as the alternation of past, future, all that was and all that is.
That feeling of depth given by the first impact, (as we knew the Impressionists often exploited these stylistic device of this in their works) enclosed in a sky that embraces our whole world: the tree and its reflection.
All wrapped up in those old tastes and past, who are there – waiting – the power and magic of enchantment … after the rain.
( I translated my poetry for you, my Lady )
Still all very nice and exciting.

I’m always overwhelmed by your interpretations!
Thank you so much!
I can’t tell you how grateful I am [VERY!].
Have a beautiful day!
One of my favorite things to see in landscaped art is water reflection. I love yours!
Thank you too, for the comments while I was out. xo
You’re very welcome. Thank you too for your warm comments!
Every art you do is another breathtaking piece to your collection. Don’t know how you do it, just amazing! Masha’Allah.
Pink.
Ah, you are ever so nice Pink! Thank you so much!
Ok for the record, I did not unlike this. I liked it twice. Then I liked it a third time!
So that means you over liked it!!! I’m so happy! Thank you!
Reblogged this on makkjek and commented:
thoughts are water
I love this – it would grace any wall!
You are very kind Lois, thank you!
Just too beautiful. Your art creates a sense of anticipation in the mind. Thank you Marina.
That is very very nice to hear. Thank YOU Dilip!
The reflection of the trees is magical.
Thank you for your kind comments Isadora! I appreciate it!
So emotive
Thank you.
No a problem, I art the moves me the instant I see it. This does that, and much of the rest
Very glad to hear that! Thanks again!
I meant I Love art… not I art:)
Ha
That’s what I thought! But “I art” sounds good too!
Marina;
As you’re clearly an established artist it would be great to get your opinion on the mood of creativity on my blog. If you don’t have the time I understand. I am just very interested in everyones creative thinking patterns etc
Thanks
Dear mrbsure,
To be honest I don’t really understand the meaning of “established” artist… [maybe it's to do with the word: establishment which automatically brings rigid and cold things to mind!].
I know you meant it as a compliment, so I’m flattered. I just don’t consider myself one! I’m already following your blog and I enjoy your creativity mood. A little note, if you like, update your about page. Thank you for visiting and commenting!
So you only like to be considered an artist by yourself? You don’t like others seeing you as one, as that’s all I see as established; others seeing you as what you proclaim to be.
However yes it was a compliment; of course I meant nothing cold about it – Yes I really should update it thank you – I am very new to blogging although so far I have a lot of wonderful people looking at my page which is awesome- YOU included:)
Of course I do! Who doesn’t! It didn’t sound cold at all! On the contrary it was very kind and generous! It was more or less a joke! Round here “established” is an artist over 80yrs old who’s work is shown in places like the MOMA, and reaches sky-high prices! Thank you again and I wish you all the best on your -already prosperous- blogging life!
Oh right:)
Ok – is it Greece you’re from? I love Greece.
Anyway – Thank you:)
Yes it is! You’ve been?
To Skiathos, the Island.
I love it there; I will see if I have any photographs.
It’s simply a paradise – but still much more low key than the ‘party islands’
You’re right! I’ve been there too. I prefer it [and other quiet islands] to the ‘party islands’…
So are you from the mainland?
Yes, Athens. You?
England; from Surrey.
I would love to go to Athens. I really adore what I’ve seen of Greece so far:)
Ah! 2 musicians of my favorite band are from Surrey [Rutherford and Gabriel]! Never been there. I hear it’s a beautiful place! [I lived in London for 4 years during studies]
Oh awesome; where did you study?
Surrey is a very dull place but if you look carefully you find complex beauty in it – however if you look for it, you can find that anywhere:)
Middlesex Poly [now University] in the good old days [early 90's!] I stayed at Trent Park, Notting Hill Gate and Southgate. I agree about finding beauty anywhere.
Oh I was looking at Middlesex; they had a great exhibition there on interior design which I saw. I’m not really anywhere near but it was on when I looked at the Uni.
Well that’s pretty cool.:)
…small world huh?!
Ha:)
Indeed!
I’m lovin’ this series. But then, as you already know, I love “mirrorscapes”.
And trees are a prefect example as their root structure underground often mirrors their branch structure above ground. Another beautiful image.
I know, I know! There is something very intriguing about them. I’m happy you like them, Terry, thanks!
