Mid September, already [my, how time flies!] and I’m on a mini creative break – probably the last one for this summer [“very hot weather with blazing sunshine” is expected the following days].
my whereabouts… [shhhh]
Meantime, my “to do list” is dangerously growing but hopefully by the end of this month I’ll have everything ‘under control’.
As I mentioned in a previous post: Engage, I’ve recently started an Instagram page where I share photos of everyday images that catch my attention and of my model, Hera posing with various items from my Society6 art shop. Once a month, I’ll be posting them all* together here, as an Instagram monthly review.
* Hera and my Society 6 products will have a separate post – after all a queen must have a space of her own, right?!
September is still young, so to speak, so here’s looking back at August’s Instagrams – or ‘Marinsta‘ as they will be called from now on! 😉
Enjoy,
check out my Instagram account for updated shots,
BE WELL
and
see you all very soon!
Marina Kanavaki 
Wow..!!
🙂 🙂 Thank you!
A bit late because I was away for a week. Cheers to getaways! Awesome pics of Hera! 🙂 … Yamas!!!
Welcome back, Frank! I’ve also been on a creative break and I’m back now trying to get organized! Yamas, my friend! 🙂
… and I imagine you spent time spoiling Hera during your break.
A ha ha ha….. you’ve got a very vivid imagination!!!!!!! 😉 Joking of course! Exactly right .. and then some! Long long walks on the beach and sunbathing. As you can see here, she’s been working very hard: https://www.instagram.com/p/BYycxTvD54F/?taken-by=marina.kanavaki
She’s completely spoiled … and taking advantage of it. 🙂
Oh, yes, she is!!!!! She took every inch of that sea mat for herself, leaving me a tiny corner to sit on! But she deserves that and so much more… 😉
Wonderful Marina and Hera is indeed a queen, my Flora and George would love to meet her! I wish I had time to do instagram, I’ll try to remember to check your page again x:-)x Happy days my dear!
Hera says she would love to meet Flora and George and sends here hugs and woofs! I think you’d enjoy Instagram a lot for its simplicity. You just click and post. Thank you, my dear friend. Happy days to you – last ones of September. 🙂 xxxxx
I have noticed you don’t monetize your website, don’t waste your traffic, you can earn additional
bucks every month because you’ve got hi quality content.

Enjoyed seeing your photography Marina, not surprisingly you have a good eye :). I’m in process of joining Instagram too, so will see you there…
Ah, thank you John! I don’t consider myself ‘good with the camera’ however phone photography is quite different and it gives me the opportunity of capturing images in a slightly more ‘casual’ way and with fun results! Can’t wait to see your ‘instagrams’. I know I’m in for a treat! 🙂
I like your fun photos and the creative ones too ~ doggie is smiling 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful creative break, Marina! Enjoy the rest of September – it’s flying by, right?!!! ❤
Oh, it sure is flying by! Thank you, my dear Christy! Break is nearly over – absorbing every bit! Have a wonderful week ahead. Last one of this month. Autumn is here… 🙂 xxxxxxxx
I’m enjoying all your photos – with or without ‘the Queen’ – just as I always enjoy your artwork. Thank you my friend!
Thank YOU, my dear Ken, that means a lot and you know it! Have a great week ahead! 🙂
Marina, this is awesome! I’m glad you are expanding to ‘Instagram’ and getting your work out there for the world to see. You have a cute doggy. He is so beautiful. 🙂
Aw, thank you, my dearest friend! This doggy is also a big fan of yours and she sends her woofs! [happy woofs, she was very flattered by your compliment!] 🙂 [returning from my mini break]
🙂 This comment of yours brought a big smile to my face and my heart is happy and filled with joy. 🙂 Bless you my friend Marina. Tell doggy I said, hello. 🙂
Doggy sending more woofs and tail wags! 🙂
MARINSTA – I see what you did. Rollinsta Harbinsta is never going to cut it… RH
Rollinsta Harbinsta sounds great to me!!!!!!! 😉 🙂
I saw two faces in the rock. One in profile and one in three/quarter pose. Love the pics. Hope you are having a good time!
Thank you, Russ and thanks for spotting the second one!!! I usually see lots of animal faces! I wonder what that says about me… 🤔 Have a great week ahead! 🙂
Dear Marina,
Love the Instagram shots! Great idea. I’m not doing Instagram as I am busy being overwhelmed by blogging and Twittering. I like the personal quality of WP, and won’t expand until I find a use for it my life. It will be great seeing your monthly presentation here on WP. Of course this month’s highlight is Hera. I adore her to the end of the social media landscape! She will likely always be my fave. Please give her a big hug and kiss for me. I know she will think it’s from you, but I want her to have some of my love in any form.
Much love, hugs and kisses,
Resa
I know exactly what you mean by ‘overwhelmed’!!!!!! However it was recommended by S6 so I thought I’d give it a try. It’s also a great opportunity to share shots I take anyway which I find interesting and fun.
Hera says she loves you and wishes she could see you. “I want to give her many kisses [hope she doesn’t mind my slobbery kisses] and hugs – many hugs!!!!” what she said. Hope you’re strong because the impact of her hugs is that of a bull!!!!!! [no wonder they’re called pitbulls!] Sending my hugs – love and kisses too, my sweet friend.
Have a lovely Monday and new week! 🙂 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Well, I’m a bit strong, and I’m sure to feel Hera’s hug all the way from Greece to Canada!
If S6 says it’s a good idea, than you need to do it!
What do you think of Art Gowns Paper Dolls? I would draw and paint 2 models, and do all of the gowns I’ve made?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Great week, darling Marina!
Ohhhhh, what a brilliant idea, Resa! I love it! Great title too! I can’t wait to see! 🙂 🙂
I’m glad you’re strong cause this pittie wants to send more hugs!!!! xxxxxxxx😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Hi, my dear Richard! Good to see you back! 🙂 [and with a beautiful painting too!] You too have a wonderful week, my friend.
You’re as gifted with the camera as you are with the brush Marina! Stunning pics. Give Queen Hera a big hug from me x
Aw, you are too kind, my dear Pam, 🙄😊 but really my model is very photogenic and as for nature… she’s an endless provider of beauty! 😉 Queen Hera received your hug and sends her love and …slobbery kisses! 😉
