Wonderful clouds, and oh I am dreaming of some time by the ocean soon…. Although I do like my woods, nothing beats the waves to refresh your spirit… 🙂 Wishing you a beautiful weekend my dear Marina…Love and Light with dashes of Green thrown in 🙂 xxx
Ah, yes…. the sea is the ultimate ‘refresher’! I hope you do visit soon. Thank you so much, my dear Sue. Enjoy a beautiful weekend! much love 🙂 xxxxx

Reblogged this on By the Mighty Mumford and commented:
I CAN SEE IT!!!
When I first saw this beautiful work, I wanted to soar up into the mysterious green clouds. Then I wanted to float on the sea, and be soothed by its exquisite color. Finally, I wanted to wedge myself into the white crack that runs between sea and sky, and create a work called “Handsome Man Trapped Between Heaven And Earth.”
Because if I’m going to spend my life in a dream, I want it to be one created by Marina Kanavaki… : )
My paint dribble-drabbles are dancing away merrily! I fear that they may eventually leave the paper from the joy of reading your comment!
Handsome man is very welcome in [also my favorite] the quiet spot of emptiness, as I call it!
Thank you, my dear friend.
Have a beautiful Wednesday! 🙂
Marina, that is beautiful! That space in between the sea and sky is awesome. ~xo
Funnily it’s the place that nothing seems to happen – empty and silent… I like that too! Thank you so much, my dear friend. Looking forward to your July issue as well as your summer art and ….the gluten-free cookbook!!!!!! 🙂
Beautiful cord combination dear Marina!
Wonderful as always❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So glad you like it, my dear Violet!!! 🙂 xxxx and a kiss to Malus! 🙂
The cloud intricacies are awesome!
Ah, thank you, Frank! Hope you’re having a beautiful Tuesday! 🙂
We recently went to a location of local artists, and I recall marveling what one painter did with all the color within a storm cloud … so now I see another one! 🙂
🙂 🙂 !!!!
Your paintings are always wonderful and this one is really nice too 🙂 I like how the colours merge and make a lovely scene, this one would look awesome on the wall in any room of the house 🙂

Hi, Andro!
We are both [painting and me] very happy to hear that!!!
Thank you, dear my friend.
Have a great new week and Monday! 🙂
Hi Marina! Wow – what a cool painting! Minimalistic, and it flows so naturally. It is of the Earth and of the Sea – Great Job! 🙂
“of the Earth and of the Sea “, that is so beautiful, Nawfal! Thank you so much, my dear friend and thank you for sharing it also. Have a great new week! 🙂
Beautiful use of colour, the shades of blue and green work perfectly. Lovely style to your work
Thank you very much, Ryan and welcome to my page! 🙂
Gorgeous shades, Marina, and I am partial to the blues…so soothing, my friend. Have a love rest of the weekend! ♥
During summer I become partial to blue hues as well! Thank you so much, Lauren. You too enjoy the rest of Sunday [ours has said farewell nearly 3 hours ago!] and a beautiful new week! 🙂 xx
Marina, there is something that is so soothing and relaxing within the spirit of your painting! I feel so much a part of the bliss my eyes see…it inspires a poem also…i feel like its essence invites my mind and heart in to meditate! Thanks for creating and sharing the blessing!
“A Special Place” A Paintings Invite
You invited my spirit into your world
Offering a restful peace the sea brings
Presenting my mind a place to meditate
As the water’s waves began to sing
My heart felt the magic which came alive
As on the beach I found a place to rest
And as moments began to pass by slowly
Within my soul I felt I had been blessed
For the beauty of the many colors I see
Massage every living fiber of my soul
And I find as my meditation begins to end
This perfect place I want never to let go
Because the peaceful place my heart found
Will be a spiritual home where I can stay
Whenever my mind needs to find true rest
I know a special place where my head may lay
Inspired by your painting Marina!
Have a very lovely weekend my sister!
Oh, Wendell I am speechless! I am so honored and grateful for having inspired such a beautiful poem, my dear friend.
I thank you from my heart for this…
May you always find peace in your spiritual home [wherever that is!] as I do reading your word paintings!
THANK YOU! 🙂
A wonderful weekend to you too, my dear Wendell! 🙂
It looks tranquil and inviting!
Happy Summer Solstice, Marina 🙂
Ah, thank you, Meanderer! A beautiful Summer Solstice to you too [well, I know it is already for you!!!] 🙂
Love the blue shades in particular. RH

Gorgeous! I love the moodiness of the sky. Have a great weekend, Marina!
Thank you, Richard! You too have a great weekend, my friend! 🙂
Dreamy and perfect. I want to lie on a sandy beach when I see this. Very nice!
Awww… thank you, Amy! I want to lie on a sandy beach …period!!! 🙂
A gorgeously muted palette Marina. I love how the colours bleed into each other.
Thank you, my dear Madhu! “gorgeously muted palette” …love that! 🙂
So lovely, Marina.These really do look like the ocean. Happy weekend to you. 🙂
I’m so glad you like it, my dear Sylvia! Thank you!! 🙂
Happy weekend and first day of summer [21st] 🙂
Marina, I truly love you colors in all your work – you just get the calmness and softness in what ever combination you use. Magical work.
Ah, what a compliment, my dear Viveka! Thank you so much! Have a beautiful [and …magical] weekend!! 🙂
It’s truly deserved, Marina
The Blue is so beautiful and my all time favorite colour too 🙂 Green clouds to me are symbolic of the greening of the earth when it rains. Thank you dear Marina.
Have a lovely day and cheers 🙂
That’s a beautiful symbolism, dear Dilip! Thank you so very much for your wonderful comment! You too have a lovely day – and night and weekend ahead! 🙂
The simplicity my friend make it beautiful and Marina always make it fresh just like a dream 🙂
You always say such beautiful things, my kind friend! Thank you so much! Wishing you a …dreamy weekend, Doron! 🙂
Thanks Marina it don’t cost money to compliment something, someone you enjoy se what they do. I like your style and work 🙂 x
Light, fresh and beautiful to see – a reminder of how tranquil sea visions are. Lovely Marina – happy weekend to you!
Indeed, my dear Mary… sea visions to me are like safe harbors – home! Thank you! A very happy weekend to you too and Summer Solstice! 🙂 xx
A day by the sea soon to be …. anticipation in every stroke, Marina.

Thank you, dear Sriram – you too take care, my friend. 🙂
See – Salt & Sun… we’re coming! Lovely indeed… for us just a little more patience 😀
Maybe I shall take with me my watercolours 😉
But I’m miles far away from your talent… Kisses :-)c
Yes, my dear Claudine – patience!!!! You most definitely should take your watercolors with you!!!! much love 🙂 xxxx
Lovely seas! Love your use of color!
Ah, thank you Linda! I’m so happy to hear that from you! 🙂
Yes this looks so simple but my brief dabble into water colour informs me that’s far from true, beautiful Marina 🙂
You are very kind, my dear Gilly! Thank you so much! Happy weekend and first day of summer [officially tomorrow 21st] 🙂
delicately stunning, powerfully peaceful and full of your heart…
Ah, my dear John although I cannot tell you about the first two, I can surely agree on the last one! Thank you, my friend. Summer Solstice is here – enjoy the first day of summer and a beautiful weekend. 🙂
May the longtime sun shine on you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you
Guide you on your way home…
How could it not obey to such beautiful words!
You are a magician of words, John.
And to you, my dear friend… and to you! 🙂
The greens, the blues, all sea tones beautifully captured:)
Ah, Elena, thank you. So happy you like it! 🙂 Happy weekend [and Summer Solstice!] 🙂
Simple yet so well done. Love the mood it sets. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome to my page! Thank you, for visiting and your very kind words! 🙂
Marvelous design Marina .Best wishes.
Thank you, dear Jalal! My warmest wishes for a beautiful weekend. 🙂
Oh another I really love. Do you collage at all.
Thank you, Noelle! 🙂 Collage is a technique I’m not drawn to, so no, I haven’t done much.
Your water colors are truly beautiful. Make me itch to collage.
Lovely!
🙂 Thank you, Resa! 🙂
I see the green clouds, but to me your painting reminds me more of sand and sea! I like both interpretations though 🙂 Very nice 🙂
I like both too! 😉 Thank you so much, my dear Jess! 🙂
I like the detail in the clouds.
Thank you, my dear Bongo! Tummy better?
Much better now. Thanks Marina.
🙂 🙂
Love it! (apparently) so simple yet so accurate! Merci! Have a nice week-end Marina.
Brian
Merci a toi, Brian! So glad you like it! A beautiful week -end to you too! 🙂
Gorgeous, Marina! Love the sky! 🙂
