Love the soft tones and feelings this creates also so beautiful 😀
I’m checking the calendar. Now I’m using a pen to make some calculations on my shirt cuff. Ah!!!– as I suspected!!– your 2-week absence coincided with the same 2-week period during which the sun was blotted out from the sky, the flowers ceased to pour forth their fragrance, the little birdies stopped their joyous song, the champagne lost its bubbles, and the corn flakes in my cereal bowl were soggy and tasteless (and that was before I added any milk).
Coincidence?? I think not. For you, dear Marina, make the world turn on its axis, and the stars dance joyfully across the sky. Hmm. Come to think of it, that’s a rather stressful job– no wonder you needed a vacation!! : )
Wonderful to have you back and spreading your unique enchantment with your watercolor brush. Your latest work gets right to the roots of the matter, and is a magnificent contribution to both Art and, um, Horticulture… : )
Mark, my friend, I don’t know about the stars across the sky, I can tell you however that I am dancing joyfully and wonder if I’ll ever stop, err ….no, I think not! 😉
Wonderful to be back, she says as she continues dancing her way to the sky until she disappears into space…
A new month is dawning here, so Happy July, Mark! 🙂
sorry I’m frenche so I don’t speak english very well, but I would say that it’s really awesome.. the history of the Life summarized here. I worship it .-.
Pas de problème! Merci beaucoup pour ta visite et paroles aimables. Avoir une magnifique semaine! 🙂
another astounding piece of art, Marina! lovely!
Thank you, my dear Aina! Have a wonderful week! 🙂
Beautiful work, my dear Marina! xoxo
Thank you, my dear Deb! Have a joyful weekend! 🙂 xxxx
The beauty of lone tree, stretching its limbs as if reaching out to the turquoise green and light sapphire blue gems in the horizon, and roots, like arteries, plumbing the nourishing orange brown depths of Mother Earth, is the magic created by your vibrant colours, marina.. I look forward to more such delights…best wishes…Raj.
Ah, what a wonderful description, Raj! Thank you so much for your visit and especially your poetic words! Enjoy a beautiful weekend. My warmest wishes to you. 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous…definitely one of my favorites…..
Awwww, thank you, my dear Pink!
Happy weekend! 🙂
beautiful tones and soft colours ☺️ ❤️
Ah, thank you, my dear Hedy! 🙂 Have a beautiful weekend ahead! 🙂
thanks Marina I will and you compose a lovely one too ☺️
It’s difficult to blog and create all of the time. So, I’m glad that you took some time, but glad you are back as well:) And, back with a refreshing, growing (as I type), vital new piece.
Ah, thank you, my dear Elena – I know you understand. So happy you liked this piece!
Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
… Et semen plantae humanitas generat.
Omnes in terrarum hoc sentire odorem vitae

Carissime Ninni, Grates ago corde super omnibus semper flores hic dimittunt.
Mi dulcissime Salutat te Eubulus et ómnium. 🙂

And you, my dear Collen, have brightened my night with your sunlight! Thank you!!! 🙂
Love the top one. Looks like summer and shines with your warm spirit
Ah, thank you for such a lovely comment!

Once every century, the beauty finds the way of gentleness and returns to earth. At that time, no one can talk, but just listen. Here’s what happened on the day of your birth.
The next will be, only, in a hundred years.
Good evening, my fair lady.
Ninni
Awwww, my dear Ninni, I am sure that this is something that happened at your birth! You share such gentleness and kindness, it is unreal!!!
A very beautiful evening to you, my dear friend. 🙂
Glad to see you back with your wonderful paintings. Very pretty Marina. I too just got back to my home. Time off can be wonderful.

Where the earth and the sky kissing in the silence of a poem? Here everything seems to heart that knows how to see.
Even the world rejoices singing the sky.
The tree pressed its roots over the soul;
silence is the companion of Heaven.
You have created, dear Marina, the entrance between the man and the desire.
Between a brush and soul.
Between your smile and your art.
Daughter of Nature and the Heat.
If you can, you are always more good.
Greetings from Italy
Ninni
Dear dear Ninni,
between your words and my soul there is a smile and gratitude for every single word and goodness of heart.
A thank you as big as a thank you can be and filled with smiles.
Greetings, my dear Ninni and wishes for a beautiful week.
This painting feels inspired & inspirational! Wow, & Thanks Marina!

I always await your monthly creations, I visited a couple of days ago, and did not see anything new, so I thought of what might be coming from your heart, your hands and your creative spirit, my sister so I wrote this for you as a blessing for the new month;
Treasures
The magic of your creations
Will always bring a smile to stay
The feelings that come alive
Seek so heartily to now stay
They massage the thoughts within
Making a happiness to bloom inside
And as one embraces what you share
Sweet feelings from hearts do rise
For the beauty that lives within each
Becomes a blessing we long to keep
Loving each creation we have received
As a treasured jewel we will hold deep
And their value become so priceless
Like a Van Gogh or Picasso treat
As we realize we are very blessed by
Gems so rare and amazingly complete.
Have a beautiful and amazing June, Marina, my dear sister!
What a way to be greeted, my kind friend! What a way…
Speaking of treasures:
a great treasure is your spirit illuminating these pages with your talent, kindness, and generous heart.
Thank you dearly!
An amazing June to you, my dear Wendell! 🙂
