After a very long and exhausting move, we are finally settled into our new home.
I did ‘fall prey to a carton avalanche’ as my friend ‘August Meditations’ feared 🙄
but made it in one piece and gradually trying to get back to a ‘normal’ routine.
Happy New Moon of January
to everyone!

Amazing and unspeakable thoughts about 1950s movie posters in internet after watching this picture of yours, which have this kind of colour tones..
I’m not sure I follow but I can see what you’re saying about the colors. Thank you for your comment! 🙂
This is powerful too … the black moon .. with the blue. Beautiful, Marina – we all love the moon … for some reason. I think we should let it be … don’t disturb it with more visits.
Ah, now that’s a nice thought! Humanity is spreading like a virus, isn’t it?!!! Thank you, Viveka. Have a beautiful weekend with this new moon!! 🙂
I love it!
Happy to see you, Arnel! Thank you, my dear! 🙂
Thanks Marina! I’ve been working on a website, but I’m a little programming challenged. And the shopping cart has been a nightmare!
So happy you are back, and a lovely moon.
Thank you, my dear Rosa! Happy to see you!
Enjoy your weekend! 🙂
Welcome back. dear Marina! May your new home be a happy home! Lovely painting!
groetjes, :_) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you, my dear Francina! Deze verhuizing naar een nieuw huis heeft al mijn energie uitgelekt! [I’m very curious as to how it translated – I feel it must sound funny!]
Heeft u een mooie vrijdag en weekend!! Groetjes
🙂 xxxx
The New Moon represents perfect symbolism!! Why?? Because it reminds us all of the gaping hole in our lives when dear, dear Marina Kanavaki’s not around!! So glad you’re back, order has been restored to the universe… : )
A carton avalanche?? Oh, dear– hope it didn’t, um, box your ears!! : )
😆 Ah -ha… the ears survived – alas many other parts [brain for example] have suffered severe injuries! All in for a major restoration at the moment! Will be good as new soon!
Happy Wednesday evening, Mark! 🙂
VERY Cool! Wishing you a great creative day, Marina!
Thank you, my friend and to you too!! 🙂
Dear Marina, glad you arrived in one piece.. I know how traumatic a house move can be.. So good to see you back.. And can I just say a BIG thank you too for your wonderful heartfelt comment upon my own post.. Love and Gratitude sent your way.. And I hope your unpacking will soon be over and you will find yourself more settled.. Hugs again.. Sue xox
It’s good to see you too, my dear Sue and no need for ‘thank you’… as I said, I know exactly how precious these silent breaks are and I am truly happy for you [loved your paintings by the way!]
Love and hugs back and lots of xxxxxx!! 🙂
Welcome back, Marina
Sending love and blessings
Ah, thank you, Cindy! Love and blessings received and sent back multiplied! 🙂
Best wishes in your new home, Marina! : )

Ah, thank you, Karen!! 🙂
Stark and stunning Marina! Love the barely discernible fingernail crescent. Here’s to new beginnings 🙂
Oh, I’m so glad you noticed! Thank you, Madhu and yes, here’s to new beginnings [even if it’s a full moon today!! ;-)] 🙂
Marvellous interpretation, and jarringly intriguing, while dusting out the old traditions of seeing the old planet… Love your creativity!
Ah, thank you, my dear Jean-Jacques! What a compliment! 🙂
I love all the blue shades in your painting. It looks like I could jump in and go swimming.
Awwwww, to have you swimming in my painting makes it so much nicer!!!! 🙂
Lovely artwork. Congratulations on completing your move. I hope you’ll be happy in your new home. All the best to you!
Thank you so much, my dear Lori! It was a a very tiring move but it was worth it! Have a beautiful Tuesday! 🙂
Dear marina
Why dont you post since many days dear
please do post
I will soon!! That move has really turned my schedule upside down!
Thank you for your patience! 🙂
oh dear take your own time 🙂
thanks
THANK YOU!!! 🙂
🙂 🙂
Hello. Just a quick thank you for reading my blog…..I am spending time reading yours and thoroughly enjoying your posts….Keep up the good work!
Jeb
Thank you very much for your visit and very kind words, Jeb. Likewise!! 🙂
I’m a little late to the party but it’s great to see you back, Marina! 🙂 I hope you are settling into your new place.
Late? My new moon is …new whenever I wish it to be! 😉 Thank you, Steven. Happy to see you! 🙂 Slowly, yes.
marina! te kanis? kala? been a long, long time since we chatted…i think i last talkd to u round about 2 weeks bfore xmas…u were moving at that time…glad ur all settled down now…till the next move..LOL!
chatting aside, i just luv that first painting of urs here..the one with the moon etc….such simplicity, such depth of feeling..u are a truly remarkable lady…very lucky man is ur partner.!
2 weeks before xmas… that sounds like a long long time – yet it feels like yesterday. Back then we were on a packing frenzy. After the January 19th [day we moved in] we’ve been on an unpacking frenzy! During this time I have learned this one lesson -the very hard way unfortunately: things that you can’t see or have access to easily and forget, THROW THEM AWAY! Also, never keep things you think that one day you may use!!! I don’t think I’ve ever hated ‘things’ in my life so much!
Sorry about this little outburst but it’s been such an exhausting [nearly] 3 months…
Thank you, my friend. I’m so glad you like it. It was my first attempt to get back! On that last note: Blushing! I’m also very lucky! 😉
How are you? Back from the UK?
dont know what happened ot my reply to this message, marina….doesnt seem to ahve reached you..but anyway, i know what ur talking about…im the same..LOL!
Something weird is happening with my mail notifications from wp and I don’t know how to fix it! 😦
yeah…me too..and i spent damn ages writing a long reply to u as well..LOL!
oh no… you’ve got me wondering now!!!! 🙄
its ok..it wasnt naughty or anything…was just trying to say i agreed with ur comments about hoarding stuff, you know….i do it all the time….might need this, might need that…and it all gets added to piles and piles of palstic bags in my garden sheds..luckily i dont keep any stuff inside my house…instead, it all goes into the sheds..i have 4 in total…LOL! yes, i know..crazy! but i do have my moments when i start clearing out once in a while..at that time, i get so angry, i just throw as many bags inot the garbage bins as possible…thats the only way to do it! BTW..lets hope this message gets to you…:)
Got it!!!!! It was probably a case of an overloaded mailbox!
4 garden sheds!!!! How fortunate!!!! 😆
😉
a breathtaking art!!!
So glad you like it, Nonoy! 🙂
Have missed you! Hope you enjoy your new home!
Missed you too, Ann! Thank you, my dear!! 🙂

“After a very long and exhausting move gradually trying to get back to a ‘normal’ routine”:
And you know, Marina, after every black moon night there will be a sunrise again …
I know, my friend – even if some nights last longer than expected!
Happy to see you, Frizz.
Have a beautiful February and new week. 🙂

Hi, Diana! Happy to see you!
Thank you, my dear!! 🙂 xx
Good to have you back! The black moon is very misterious.
🙂 Thank you, Jess! Happy to be back and great to see you! 🙂
Wow, I love the colors and shade – so delicate … and this gives me a chill of a crispy winter late afternoon, when the moon comes out. This went to top of your art.
Awww, thank you so much, my dear Viveka!!!! I’m so happy to see you again! Seems like such a long time!!! 🙂 xx
Marina, thanks for your sweet comment – I’m around a bit – still problems with my butt – so sitting is a real issue for me at times. It seems like ages – I love your new moon – fantastic job and colors.
Oh, I hope this is resolved soon, my dear. [that’s an order!] 🙂
I started of with some new medicine a couple of nights ago – and it seems to ease a bit .. hopefully it will work, waiting for appointment to a new specialist.
I missed you my sister…the new painting is gorgeous!
Missed you too, Wendell. I hope all is well!
Thank you so much, my friend.
Have a beautiful new month and week. 🙂

Thank you!!! Nice to see you too! Happy February! 🙂
Thank you kindly for all the ♥’s Marina!
Welcome back Marina! 🙂
Happy to be back and glad to see you! 🙂
New moon’s always inspiring. It slowly conquers the darker side day by day. We moved couple of years back & still have few boxes unopened!! One way it helps assort your junk out
Oh, you are so right about the last one. Amazing how much junk accumulates in a house!
Beautifully said about the new moon.
Happy February. 🙂
happy new moon, new home, new year to you! may 2014 be a great one for you!

Welcome back!
This is great!
Dark Side Of The Moon.
Happy to see you! 🙂 Thank you!!
It is a little bit surrealistic! 😉
Hooray … you are back! Congrats on accomplishing the move. The moon is a peaceful transition back into this world.
To catch you up on me … We’ve been getting blasted with abnormally bitter cold … but it looks like we’ve turned the corner. We accepted an offer for our house after being on the market for about 5 days! Closing and the move is still 6 weeks away, so packing has begun.
So happy to see you, Frank!
That’s great news on the house! I am trying to think of advice to give you for the move…organization is the main thing and grouping similar things [either by type or room where they will be placed] accompanied [always] with multivitamins or energy boosters and …a good wine!
I agree about the moon.
Happy February, my dear friend!
🙂
Happy February … and good to have you back … and I’m sure you are easing your way in.
A beautiful moon. Look forward to future posts. 😉
Hi Cynthia! Thank you! So am I [looking forward to read you!]! 🙂 xx
So glad you are getting settled and back with your beautiful artwork Marina! I’ve missed you. 🙂 Your artwork always lifts my soul.
Missed you too!! So happy to hear the artist [you!] is ready to bloom again! 😉 Happy and creative February, my dear! 🙂
WELCOME BACK! I love the first one! Glad you are all settled in.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Ah, thank you Francine. I am gradually getting my pace back. Happy February! 🙂
Lovely to see you again Marina and congratulations on your new home. It does take some time getting settled, doesn’t it? So happy you greet us with a beautiful moon painting –
Hi Mary! Thank you! Yes, it does take time and lots of energy …something I am in lack of these days! Glad to see you too, my dear. Happy February! 🙂 xx
Welcome back, Marina!
Thank you, Richard. Happy to see you! 🙂
