That’s gorgeous! And so very different.
Ah, thank you for the compliment! [Just came back from your beautiful blog!] 🙂
Hi my dear long-distance friend, again, what an amazing painting ! I reblogged this, but it’s the first time I’ve done that, so I’m not quite sure if I did it correct. Do you have a Facebook page as well ?
Oh, my dear Ilse – I am honored!!! Thank you so much!!! [yes, it worked!]. I do have a fb page but I’m not very ‘active’. [ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Marina-Artemis-Kanavaki/730114280348439 ]
lots of love and thank you for your beautiful words! 🙂

My long-distance friend Marina Kanavaki makes the most beautiful paintings. I find it amazing how she always knows exactly how to capture colors, moves, feelings and most of all “a soul” in her paintings. You should definitely have a look at her paintings. They are for sale on various products. With this painting, again, she took my breath away !

I love this cheerful combination, Marina, and I’m finding that oranges, yellows and reds are my new favorites! I’ll always love the pastels, but the vibrancy of the brighter colors moves me! 🙂 Sending love and hugs! xo
Ah, thank you, Lauren! I know, it’s funny how our tastes in color change, isn’t it? I began from a strict black and deep red panting period and now I’ve ended up falling in love with unexpected combinations and hues! Colors never seize to amaze me! 🙂 xxxx
Such delicacy of line! Such whirling, swirling joie de vivre!! Colors that erupt like the beneficent fires of Mt. Olympus!! Gazing at this wonderful creation sends my soul soaring into the upper reaches of the stratosphere!!
Which is why I always make my soul strap on a parachute before coming to this blog… : )
Beauty, joy, color, and a wonderful lightness of being– no one brings them all together like you, my dear Marina!! : )
May I borrow that parachute please?!!!!
Your words are about to send me flying off Mt. Olympus! Danger – Danger, Will Robinson! …errr see what I mean? The situation is critical!
Gracefully [with whatever grace remains after this] bowing to your kindness! 🙂
Sorry, for my Swenglish …. not that – this is such been. *smile
ah, so you also have this language! We have the Greeklish over here!! 😉
*smile … so long as we understand each other. *smile
Wow, love that combination … same colors as I have on my sleeve – oranges, reds, green and black. The deepness of the oranges and reds really pops out – like 3D on that very deep black background.
Yes, I know – you have some extra reds though! 😉
Thank you, my dear Viveka for your beautiful words!!! 🙂
Next laptop I buy has to be slightly bigger … so it fits better, they say that should keep a laptop more than 4 years.
Have to buy a new PC first .. my is on XP and I don’t like windows 8, tough call.
My pleasure, you do such beautiful art – Marina.
🙂 🙂
I know what you mean about windows 8 [although I’m a mac user]. Hopefully by that time things will be better!
I’m not a Mac fan at all *smile
Window 7 … is brilliant – I have that on my netbook, brilliant.
Gorgeous! They remind me of flame lilies (Gloriosa Superba)! Colours apt for our temperatures in May 🙂
Gloriosa Superba like you!!! Thank you, my dear Madhu! 🙂
Beautifully done. Vibrant & intense. 🙂
Ah, thank you, Joseph, I’m very happy you like it! 🙂
Beautiful as always!!!! You are amazing
Thank you, my dear Melody! So are you!!! Enjoy the making of your new home!!! 🙂
Your work leaps off the screen, Marina.
Well done.
Beware of the thread… it may lure you into it’s entanglement! 😉
Thank you, my friend. Someone – somewhere said something about grace and talent…DITO!!! 🙂
Please visit my new blog, hope you like it 🙂

Thank you dear Marina 🙂
These flowers are just dancing!
Really like the green brambling across the bottom
Indeed they were when I was painting them! Pretty hard to keep them still! 😉
Thank you!! 🙂

Thank you, Sriram! 🙂
Beautiful Marina.. I am wearing Orange today too… So wishing you a wonderful May full of blossoms and Orange is vitality and strength… Wishing you both as we already are one week into May…
Love to you… Hugs Sue xoxox
Ah, thank you, Sue …vitality and strength to you too and all in orange beauty! Hugs back [lots] and xxxx 🙂
I had to come back again to see this one Marina! 🙂 It is musical. It is lyrical. I just want to reach out and touch it because I know it would be like water rushing through my fingers very gently. A great artwork!
Ah, Nawfal, what a beautiful thing to say, my friend! Thank you so much!!! 🙂
🙂
Wonderful!!!!!
Thank you, Alex! [Brilliant selection of videos!!!!] 🙂
Happy 1. of May, even if I am too late. Very good art work, Marina!
Thank you my dear Bente! Never too late – still May! You too have a wonderful month, my dear! 🙂
Marina, so powerful and … bold – love it – I always combine orange with green .. when it’s about table setting and clothing. Fantastic combination. Stunning work. Got a email saying the my sleeve has been posted. Can’t wait.
Great!!!! [I can’t wait either!]
Thank you, my dear Viveka. Orange and green go so beautifully together, don’t they?! I’m so glad you like it! 🙂 xx
I simply love the techniques you use on your paintings. and the flowers are outstanding! 🙂
What inspired you to paint these flowers?
Aww, thank you! [Happy to see you back]
I suppose my need to unravel darkness into light… I just picked a colored thread out of the black background and got seriously entangled right after! Anyway -you get it! 😉
So very beautifully refreshing…your painting is gorgeous! Being a May baby, I love the month because it is a time when everything blossoms, including we, who created, because we feel refreshed, and renewed. Thanks for sharing Marina!
May baby? So this is your Birthday month, Wendell… I wish you then a most joyful and beautiful Birthday May, my friend! Indeed the month of blossoms! 🙂

Awww, thank you, Resa – I am so very happy to hear that!! 🙂 xx
Yes, Spring is the time of rebirth and renewal of what has been sleeping in th earth.
Your magical flowers will soon be sprouting more flowers of colors tempting the
thought of what would be a massive field of them showcasing abundance.
Happy Spring, Marina, your flowers delight and mesmerize.
Izzy ❤
Ah, Izzy, what a thought!
I better get on it then… 😉
Thank you, my dear, your words mean so much.
Happy Spring to you too!!!! 🙂 xxxx

“Happy” is indeed the word. There is such a beautiful energy in this art work 😀
Oh, I’m so happy to hear that, Emy, thank you!! 🙂
Such a perfect image for this new month Marina, magical May. I worked / played in the garden today for hours, still smell the earth on my fingers…I touched and planted echoes of your art in the sun and soil…fed me with such magical energy as your art does…beauty, fertility, hope…
I wish I could respond to this as beautifully as this jewel of a comment, John. The magic is in your words, my friend! Thank you!! 🙂
Hope you had a lovely 1st day of May!
Thank you, Jess. It was a day full of flowers! Hope yours was lovely too and wish you a happy May! 🙂
Happy May Day Marina – I just have four minutes of it left here to say that! Lovely flowers – beautiful yet with a sense of something underlying about them which I love! Reminds me of the flowers from Pink Floyd – The Wall actually! 🙂
and Happy …May to you, my friend! As you probably remember I am a fan of PF however I wouldn’t have made a connection until now you mentioned it! I’m so glad you like them, Ken! Thank you and Happy blogiversary!!! 🙂
I’m crazy about this Marina! Your work is always so alive!
Ah, thank you, Elena. I couldn’t help but laugh at ‘alive’… you should see the poor tablet I draw on. It takes so much …hustle I’m amazed at it’s patience! 😉
Great job! Something new in your portfolio! Love it.
I’m glad you like it, Alexander. Thank you! 🙂 Happy May!
Magnificent piece of art – love the unfolding of orange blossoms, all delicate and graceful. Happy May Day and have a wonderful weekend!

Beautiful! Happy 1st May, Marina!
Thank you, Richard and to you too [with many more portraits – the way you know well how to deliver!] 🙂
Stunning images, Marina. Very springlike indeed. 🙂
Ah, thank you, my dear Sylvia!! Happy May!! 🙂 xx
Even with the dark background, you have delivered the brightness of the season. You did this digitally?
Yes, all painted on photoshop. Instead of paper, brushes and inks: a tablet, a screen and the brushes & colors of photoshop.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Happy May, Frank! 🙂
One technique of an artist friend of mine is interesting … she creates on computer … then prints onto a canvas … then paints with oils to add the colors and the texture.
The possibilities are endless. So many things / techniques one can use. I had done that with paper and watercolor on top. The printer’s inks and the watercolors created interesting effects. It’s all about having fun really… 🙂
[I’d love to see her work btw]
Endless possibilities is right on! Meanwhile, here you go. http://www.rebecapittman.com/
Oh, thank you, Frank! Wonderful work!!!! 🙂
The drawings were very interesting as she did it with various layers. Not sure if I like them for me taste, but definitely interesting.
fun trying digital Yes? What app are u using?
Oh, yes – fun indeed. Good ol’ photoshop!
Have a great May, Carla! 🙂
Great! Jean-Jacques
Thank you, Jean-Jacques! Happy May! 🙂
How lovely. The dark background really lets that orange sing! Happy May 1st, Marina 🙂
