Happy Spring Equinox, everyone!
It’s the time of year when night and day are about equal length.
That will happen at 16:57 UT time
The March equinox (or Northward equinox) is the equinox on the earth when the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator, heading northward. The March equinox is the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the autumnal equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.
The equinox can be as early as March 19 or as late as March 22, the precise time being about 5 hours 49 minutes later in a common year, and about 18 hours 11 minutes earlier in a leap year, than in the previous year. It is the balance of common years and leap years that keeps the calendar date of the equinox from drifting more than a day from March 20 each year.

Marina Kanavaki 
What a gift you have been given. I would love to be able to paint like you, perhaps one day you will paint our farm for us in Sequim. I will pay you of course. Melody http://www.donkeywhisperer.com
Receiving words like yours is the true gift, my dear Melody and for this I am very grateful. I would love that very much – as I said you are surrounded by beauty!
Have a beautiful Monday and new week, my dear! 🙂
This is really wonderful work. I’ll have to visit again.
Oh, I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you very much! Hope you do! 🙂
Warm, beautiful spring in your painting my dearest Marina!
Love it❤️❤️❤️
Oh, what a lovely thing to say, my dear Violet! Thank you!! 🙂 xxxxx
I find this beautiful work to be filled with symbolism, like so:
1. Time: I feel it is always time to experience a Marina Kanavaki painting, and that they reflect an eternal beauty– much like the lovely painter Herself.
2. Equinox: When I look at a Kanavaki creation, I experience equal parts delight and awe.
3. Spring: Just looking at a Kanavaki puts a spring in my step.
I must now conclude my remarks. I always worry about being too eloquent… : )
The Kanavaki has left the building and is somewhere flying high. I fear we may never fish her back…
Wait… she has a message for a certain Mark Armstrong: “I’m si-ngin’ in the air – Just si-ngin’ in the air – such a glo-rious fee-lin’ – Mark se-nt me again – …” the Kanavaki is whistling joyfully now!
🙂 🙂
marina,
Really enjoying looking at your wonderful blog….keep up the good work!
Ah, I’m so happy to hear that!!! Thank you!

Reminds me about my Satellite Communication exam where we study about “equinox”.. 🙂
I hope you liked the exam! 🙂
Wow, you have been busy with all the comments …. wonderful clock! Very stylish and contemporary. And many likes too – congratulations, you’re worth it all.

Marina, you are such a talent in whatever you do. It’s all my pleasure and I wish you a great weekend.
Beautiful delicate spring colors. . . . .
Thank you, Anne and thank you for your visit!
Hence the spring play tricks… after several days of sun and warm (up to 25°), snow is back up to 400 m / s and is again around 5-10°
Then your fresh tones of flowers, are a balm for the heart! Just tenderly beautiful…
a kiss 🙂 claudine

P.S.: nice Ophelia book cover, did you read that book?
and time flies!!! 🙂
I did, yes. It’s a novel written by my father [Anakreon Kanavakis aka Erkan Noa] which was published a month ago. Unfortunately only in Greek. The painting on the front cover is his. I just did the design of the book cover. I’m very glad you like it, Frizz! 🙂
nice, to have a writing father! you make the rest: music, painting, web-connections, fighting for oppressed animals .. – who cooks?
Mom!!!! 😉
Good wishes to you too. Loved the image. 🙂
Thank you, my dear Nandini!!! 🙂 Hope you had a wonderful Holi Festival. 🙂

Hi, Jo! I hope so too! Thank you and happy Spring!! 🙂
Happy Vernal Equinox to you also, Marina! Loving these fresh zingy colours!
Oh, now that’s really nice to hear! Thank you, Meanderer and Happy Spring! 🙂
As usual, very enchanting illustration. You are a gifted artis, indeedt, Marina.
Joseph, thank you so much for your beautiful and very flattering comment! 🙂
How lovely! May your spring be full of wonderful colors 🙂
Ah, thank you, Christy! Wishing you a creative and beautiful Spring! 🙂
Aww, thanks 🙂
Lots of happy thoughts to you too 🙂
Thank you, Andrew! Have a beautiful weekend! 🙂
So lovely! You have inspired me to start watercolor painting.. 🙂 any tips? 🙂
Oh, how nice!!! No advice, just get your paintbrushes, paper and hands dirty!!!;-)
Awwww!!! Wowee! That makes me want to jump in and do it right away! Not sure why I’ve been hesitating. It sits in my closet, pristine and plastic, untouched as my perfectionism prevents me from painting.. sigh…. how did you first get started? Did you take classes?
Too young to remember and after school I studied it too ..as if one can study art – but for the sake of argument! Also good for learning techniques …and then forgetting them! 🙂 Have fun!
Fantastic representation, Marina, of the time change and Spring!!! ~xoxo!
Ah, thank you, my dear Patricia. Wishing you a Spring of color, creativity and beauty!! 🙂 xxxxx
And a happy Equinox and first day of Spring to you!
