Ah, thank you, my dear Aquileana! 🙂 A very happy new week to you too and Sunday! Hugs, 🙂 xx
Oh this is lovely Marina – the design is fantastic. Those colors in the land being absorbed by the tree trunk is extraordinary. Beautiful work. Once again your posts are not loading into my reader. I’ll try unfollowing and re-follow and hopefully it will work. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Oh, that is so nice to hear, my dear Mary – thank you!

Have a beautiful new week ahead [well, Sunday first!]! 🙂 xx
Hi Marina, thanks so much and I hope you enjoy some wonderful relaxing down time for the next week. Have a wonderful Sunday and most fantastic time next week. Appreciate your blogging friendship and wonderful encouraging support , means a lot to me. Take care ~
Likewise, my dear Mary!!!! It’s been a really rejuvenating week! Happy August my dear friend! 🙂 xxxx

“In Limbo” evokes such atmospheric images, and you’ve nailed them twice:) Beautiful.
Ah, that’s a great compliment – coming from you, Elena! Thank you, my dear! 🙂
The vibrant cinnabar adds a lively intensity. It captures the eye and forces you to look at it.
Like it’s saying, ‘Look at me, I am here alone but still glowing’.
It is its’ own painting. There is no comparison to Fandango. They ar both individual with different auras. LOVE … this one too … immensely. ❤
My dear Isadora, I am so glad you see their different auras! Thank you so much for your beautiful comment! 🙂 xx
Please visit my new blogs if possible, hope you like it 🙂

thank you dear Marina 🙂
Stunning designs, Marina. I love this colour. 🙂
Thank you, my dear Sylvia! Have a beautiful Tuesday! 🙂
Excellent choice of colors on this palate … and I especially liked the way your incorporated the colors on the tree. 😀
Oh, thank you Frank! It’s absorbing the colour from it’s roots!!! 😉 Happy Tuesday, my friend! 🙂
😀
Marina, this is gorgeous!! I love the red. Happy Tuesday to you, my friend! ~xo
Thank you, my dear friend! A very happy Tuesday and rest of the week to you! 🙂 xxxxxx
A colour close to my heart and a mineral with close kinship to volcanoes and hot springs. As a fiery Leo in limbo your art resonates deeply in me and is timely as we enter the sign of the Lion. You ground this burning energy in the earth that feeds the tree giving it creative purpose. Thank you for this beauty Marina…
Oh, my dear John – thank YOU for such a beautiful comment, my friend. I have just been over to your page enjoying your …cinnabar! 🙂
I love the vibrancy of Cinnabar, Marina! Lovely combinations with the blues, too! Beautiful work, as always! Hugs to you, my friend…
Ah, thank you, my dear Lauren. Somehow I knew you’d like that colour! 😉 Many hugs back!! 🙂 xx
Love the cinnabar and the soft blues! But I think I prefer the deeper tones of Fandango even more Marina 🙂
Ah, thank you, Madhu. Maybe Fandango is more summery. I am happy you like it! 🙂
This is gorgeous. And cinnabar sounds so exotic. Love it!
Hi, Amy! Thank you! Yes, and to me it also sounds like cinnamon [which I love!] 🙂
Form and formlessness combined. Wonderful!
Thank you, my dear friend!
My form of meditation to free myself from Saṃsāra! [a long long road!] Beautiful post.
It’s always such a treat to see your work Marina. Love your colors as always. Have a wonderful weekend yourself. Warmest wishes…Andrew 🙂
What a lovely thing to say, Andrew. Thank you so much! Warmest wishes to you and a beautiful weekend! 🙂
Lovely, very sweet image! Have a great weekend, Marina!
You too, Richard and thank you very much!! 🙂
That’s lovely. i ike the colours very much. And isn’t ‘cinnabar’ a lovely word to say 🙂
Ah, yes it is! It also reminds me of my favorite cinnamon! 🙂 Thank you, my dear! 🙂
Lovely colors dear Marina especially the sky effect. I must admit though I had to Google Cinnabar but could not connect with this post clearly 😦
Thank you, my dear Dilip and sorry for the insufficient information. I just added an asterisk on Cinnabar, in the post. It is a mineral from which the color ‘vermillion’ [orange red] comes from. It’s also another name for ‘vermilion’. 🙂
Happy weekend!
Reblogged this on Yarnspinnerr and commented:

Just Lovely Marina…have a great weekend too…:-)
Thank you, my dear Sriram. All the best, my friend. 🙂

Thank you, my dear Soumya! 🙂
I think I prefer this one to Fandango, the earthy hues are more me, both are fabulous though 🙂
Ah, thank you, my dear Gilly! …and thank you for sharing too! I’m so glad you like it! Happy weekend, my dear! 🙂 xx
Great! Lovely colours
Oh, thank you, Rajiv! 🙂
Beautiful colors and a beautiful tree!Enjoy your weekend too!
Thank you very much, dear Eva! You too enjoy your weekend!! 🙂
🙂
Reminds me of once being there, though your interpretation makes it look far more comfortable!
Oh, I do like the ‘comfortable’ part. Thank you, my dear Jean-Jacques! 🙂
You were born with art in your soul 🙂
Awwwww….. You are so very kind, Alex! 🙂
I like your watercolors the best. Some of these fit into the As Above so Below category. All the best, Marina.!
They are indeed a kind of progression of As Above So Below, got it! They both derived from the same idea. Thank you, my friend! All the best to you too! 🙂
Gorgeous and alive! (Just like you) You have a great weekend, too! xx
Hi, Resa! I like ‘alive’!!! Thank you so much! Wishing you a nice warm weekend [not too hot though!] 😉
🙂
My comment went to the first image, I am not sure how. Anyway I so love your work Marina. This is beautiful.
I have to look into that – probably something I didn’t check. Also I just realized that I forgot about your advice and again made full post viewable from the reader… Oh, well.
Thank you so much, my dear Donna. Your kind words mean so much to me.
Have a beautiful weekend!
I was on the full post, then clicked the image to see it bigger, but when I clicked back I was still on the image with the comment box available.
I just realized what I did. I didn’t have my image as a media file. It is now fixed! Thank you! I’ve also changed the reader settings. 🙂
There is so much of pure nature, energy and joy in these pieces Mariana. What a wonderful uplifting body of work. Thank you for the joy of experiencing them.
Thank You, Rick for the joy of your beautiful [and very flattering] words!
Happy weekend! 🙂
Great colour combination and atmosphere, dear Marina! Have a nice weekend!!! xxx
Thank you, my dear Rosa!! You too have a great weekend – hopefully with inflatables near by and a good swim! 😉 xxxx
