Every time I visit here, I see colour removed of labour. That is, you lay it down and art follows as its nature demands.
There seems to be no labour to what you produce (forgive me), only inspired art, beauty, originality.
Sigh… to be YOU! 🙂 I really, really love those colours, the pastel of it – but more than that, it’s how you lay it out. Just beautiful, Marina.

What I find interesting in the close ups is that the smaller the scale, the more you see the result of uncontrolled random processes, like the paint being sucked into the paper by capillary forces, while the designed component is reducing. On the large scale, on the other hand, the design is dominating. In between there is a scale dominated by your style, that is the way you have learned to see and move “automatically”, still your action but not planned. So there is a conscious component, an unconscious component and a physical component, each dominating their respective scale.

Great use of wash and layering. Your details could be paintings all by themselves. The first could be land and sky. Detail one always makes me wonder how you can get such sharp edges. Can I come over there and spend a day with you as my water color mentor? In details 2 and 3 I love your use of the paper as negative space (?). Clouds in the sky?(detail 2) Snow covered islands? (detail 3) Ripples and highlights in the water! (the whole painting)
