While on the …Home Series
I’ve been digging in the past.
In another time…
and guess what…
trees were my favorite subject as soon as I got my first pen and paper!
Strange thing is,
I remember drawing these!
Den ipirxa / I have never been…
from the my solo album Pote & Tipota [Never & Nothing] released by Virgin EMI in 2000.
Poem by Elias Petropoulos • Music: Marina Kanavaki
I have never been unhappy
I coexist in harmony
with my innate melancholy.
❦
A beautiful weekend, everyone
and
Stay Safe!

Oh wow how precious to see these early forays into art! Thank you for sharing – I loved seeing these wonderful pieces. Your talent was there even then – my childhood pieces are just messy black blobs! 😀
In our love for trees, we are most certainly kindred spirits! And you capture their beauty in a unique spiritual way. I love your tree work!!!
I know we are!!!!! Thank you, my dear Colleen. It’s so funny seeing my childhood drawings. I wonder if I’ll ever reach that ‘clarity’ again. 😉 xoxoxo
Yes! Oh for the days when a good day was defined by a fresh breeze, the scent of trees and meadows, and the presence of a good friend.
Ah, yes….. 🌺🌸🌷🌸🌺
Love the music! Way to go.
I have never been …………………. a tree!
A ha ha….. Thank you, sweetie! mouah [a big one!] xoxoxoxo
mouah mouah mouah mouah mouah

Your young trees are fab! I love trees, too!
Do you follow Timothy at Off Center and Not Even? https://offcenternoteven.com/
Anyway, he does lots of great nature pics, and more. He has 7 cats! LOL
So, he has these trees, cottonwoods mostly. I have one dedicated to me. I picked it out and requested it. It’s absolutely gorgeous! Holly has a dead one, and it’s marvellous. It makes a Heart, and Holly named it her Tangle-Hear tree. I use it in the adventures of Princess Blue Holly. I use my tree too.
Well, if you are interested, Tim has a tree that you could have. That would be great, cause I would use it in the PBH stories as well! You could name it whatever you want!
JUST a thought!
LOVE

No worries!
I’ll email you the trees you can pick from. Tim will hold it for you!
Then, when you are ready, … it will all come together!
If that’s okay? He only has a few trees left.
LOL! I want you to have one… I’m a bit of a crazy!
Adore you ❦x❦o❦x❦o❦x❦o❦x❦o❦x❦o❦x❦o

A remarkably consistent vision. And talent. Keep creating. 🌳
Awww…… thank you, my friend! 🙂
What a great find these are! Your post helped cheer me up after a week of dreary isolation!
Oh, I’m so happy to hear that… yes, I know! Stay safe and patience – this too shall pass!!!! 🙂
Great that you kept those, Marina. Stay safe ☮
Dad, kept many of drawings from my childhood… You too, my friend! 🙂 _/_
Oh, these are beautiful, especially today when it is International Forrest Day. Trees bring us life, beauty and serenity.
Oh, yes they do!!!!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed these! xoxoxoxo
Oh how precious! Your gift was quite evident. The fields of flowers…so you!
Ah, thank you so much Mary Jo! I remember the joy of drawing that and thinking hmmm, and here is a river and flowers and grass, oh and the sky and the sun…. all in amazement! It’s so strange having that connection so fresh in my mind… xoxo
She writes, she photographs, she draws, she paints, she sings, she creates music…
She’s MARINA!
