Marina, your artistry is stunning.
I am interested in the connections between Zen and the artistic, creative process. I believe that true artistry requires being in the moment- and possessing great courage.
I am happy to have found your amazing work and will be following.
Tom
Ah, thank you so much for your flattering words, Tom! Very very kind of you! Thank you for following my work. [...so have I!]
OK Marina. This was GOOD. I’ve waited (and made you wait) long enough. Thank you for your inspiration. You are wonderful. Here’s my small gift to you this morning: http://wp.me/P1TJPv-1Kk.
Ah, thank you so very much, David!!!!
Green, green grass of home, right?
Ah, yes you could say that… the home where I live! It’s a detail from one of my characters: http://marinakanavaki.com/2012/04/23/character-16/
Thanks Marina, I get a better understanding now. Your art is fabulous.
Thank you very much George! You are very kind!
Thank you for the (very quick) follow, Marina! Have a great day!!
You are very welcome!
Have a great day and week too!
Hi Marina, I wanted you to know that you are the Artist of the Day on my blog:
http://destructivetesting.wordpress.com/2012/07/09/artist-of-the-day-marina-kanavaki
Please let me know if you would like me to add or change anything.
The main purpose of the blog is to share the ‘Artistic Process’. What and where artists do what they do to create their art.
I’d appreciate it if you would consider sending me some photos for my ‘Work Spaces’ and/or ‘Making It’ categories.
Please send any photos to mfsmith46@gmail.com.
And, of course, I’d like you to share this with anyone who might be interested.
I have received messages like the following:
Darcy commented on Artist of the Day / Sandy Martinez
“Thanks for allowing us to know a bit more about the artist.”
thanks, Mike
I am honored, Mike! Thank you so much for showing my work. Nothing needs changing, you’ve done a great job and I’m very grateful! About photos, I’d be more than happy to send you anything you want, so please let me know what would you like.
As I told John, I would like photos, and any description you would like to add, for my Making It and/or Work Spaces categories. It’s easier for you to check them out on my blog than for me to explain. I will post them as soon as I receive them.
thanks, Mike

Μαρινάκι μου,
Δεν περίμενα τίποτα λιγότερο… τέλειο (!) από σένα!
Να είσαι καλά και να μού φιλήσεις τον Ανακρέοντα και τη Ρίτα.
Με όλη την αγάπη μου
Θαλής
Αγαπητέ μου Θαλή,

Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ!
Εχετε τα φιλιά τα δικά μου,

[ελπίζω να τ'αντέχετε τόσα!]
με αγάπη,
Μαρίνα
