this is another painting from my ‘As Above So Below’ watercolor series.
[original texts / notes / comments are kept & broken links amended].
…towards a more organized site and a happy day! 😉

Description:
Inspired by the Oneness of “As Above So Below”,
A red forest under a blue sky, Above
and growing green in purple earth, Below.
Could this be a reflection or roots?
However seen, it is my imaginary forest
in search of its fulfillment.

Marina Kanavaki 
Always an interesting visit to your site, Marina.
To my fellow bloggers:
Sorry for my blogging inactivity these past months. A lot on our plate during this big move from Spring Valley to Oceanside, CA. Now to see who’s still out there.
Have a wonderful day!
Art
Hi, Art! Great to see you!
Oh… I know exactly what that means. We had a [major] move last August and I only returned to normal posting a month+ ago!!!! Patience and take it easy!
You too have a wonderful day and month!
🙏
Marina, I meant to type that all colors are gorgeous. 🙂 And the combination is exquisite! xoxoxo
Extra hugs!!!!! 💕🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕
🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰
🧡🌻🌟🌻🧡
All are gorgeous, Marina, and I see reflection rather than roots, but I’m no expert either. I’m glad you shared again. Beautiful, my friend! 💗💗💗
Ah, thank you, Lauren, I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Imho there are no experts in the perception of art and I appreciate your vision much more than a so called expert. Many hugs your way. 🤗💕🤗
💗💗💗💗💗
💕🎶💕
Beautiful artwork, Marina. I love the combination of blue and red. They are my favourite colours and I have them a lot around my home.
Ah, so happy to hear that, my dear Izzy! Thank you, my friend. 🤗
Great work, Marina!
Thank you, my friend! 🙏

I love your flashback series! Thank you. Yamas!
So happy you do, my friend! Yamas!!! 🍷
I’m loving this project, Marina! Thank you.
Ah… thank YOU, my kind friend! 🤗🤗
So beautiful with the complementary colors below the above. These watercolors are brilliant.
Awww… can’t tell you how happy I am you like it! 🙏😊
Beautiful work Marina… and so aptly named 🙂 Love the colours xx
I was thinking of how everything is interconnected, of oneness… I am so glad you like it, Sue! 🙂 xxxxx
so beautiful xxxxxxxxxx
With you!!! He is an amazing photographer! 🙂
🙂
I got mixed up! I was actually referring to Eric’s photo [https://marinakanavaki.com/2014/02/24/months-of-searching-hundreds-of-miles-walked-2/] – Thank you so much!!!! 🙂
My pleasure and yes he is a great photographer
🙂 🙂
🙂 ; )
Amazing! As soon as I saw this extraordinary work, I ran out to my garden and hit the secret lever which flips everything over. Sure enough, the root system below was a subtly altered mirror image of the blossoms above.
Which leads me to conclude: if you’re looking for inner truth, look no further than Marina Kanavaki, famous painter and horticulturist!! : )
At this point, my friend, I am seriously considering payment! 😆
Can’t thank you enough! Your comments are works of art themsleves! I actually pictured you hitting that lever! 🙂
I think I may have to add the ‘horticulturist’ to my resume!!
Have a beautiful Friday evening and weekend!
🙂
Wow! Love it!
Charlie, thank you!
Precious little flowers standing strong … so pretty and my favorite colors.
Very nice, Marina.
Namaste
That sounds so nice, Isadora, thank you!
Reblogged this on onlinefunland.
Very Nice !
Thank you! …and thank you very much for the reblog and your kind words!
You are Most Welcome !
A lovely piece!
I am so glad you like this, Karen. Thank you!
Captivating! C’est belle!
Merci bien, cherie Aina!
The colors ~ ever so exciting! Thanks Marina.
So glad you like them, Dilip. Thank you.
Not quite a reflection, but an equal and opposite reaction 🙂 Love the symmetry and colours.
You are right! Thank you so much, Madhu!
It’s really beautiful! What a lovely colours and fantastic reflection. Love the colours contrast .
Thank you so much Violet. I’m very glad you like it!
Hi Marina, lovely colours and a brilliant concept – makes me confused though which way up to look at it.hehehehe
Sorry Greece didn’t make it past Germany, I was really wishing as hard as I could but such is life – such is football. Now if England somehow beat Italy on Sunday, we will have the pleasure of playing the Germans. grrrrrrr!!!!!
You may look at it as you like sweet Bones, As Above So Below! I’ll have my fingers crossed for you! Justice be told: Germany played very well yesterday, they deserved it.
I love the greens and purples – so beautiful!
Thank you so much, Meanderer!
This is so neat! I love your garden!
Thank you so much, Sandy. [I also love your garden of beautiful flowers, stars, etc!]
Beautiful! I like the contrast in colors between the top and bottom halves, and even the contrast in moods from both. You’ve blended the two brilliantly! (It also feels like each half is creating a reflection of its opposite self.)
Ah, thank you, Fergie! I always appreciate your comments! [yes, it is …in a way!]
from red to magenta, by refletion: i like these so much, Marina!
I’m so happy to hear that, George! Thank you!
I love the red, and the reflection!
[I see you’ve taken over Twink’s computer!] Thank you, Deb!!
Beautiful, Marina! I love the reflections. Is this a landscape outside your window or is it an image inside your mind? ~Patricia
Inside my mind but I’m certain it exists somewhere outside my window too! Thank you, Patricia!
One of my all-time faves in this series Marina. The black through-line of the grounds surface and the tree trunks really adds a wonderful contrasts that seems to actually heighten the colors. Beautiful work in my opinion.
…and your opinion is very valuable to me, Terry. Thank you! [I think it’s my fave too!]
marina, aina here. thanks for all the support. and for coming up with another masterpiece = ) More power!
You are very welcome, Aina and thank you for your compliments!!!
Very beatifull..dear Marina…The Artist of the feeling!
♥
Hi ….Claude
Ah, Claude, you are so nice!
Thank you!
Hi marina, thanks!
I have worked on my long-neglected blogroll links, made a new section “Visual arts’, and have added a link to your blog.
Thank you very much! I’m honored!
Interesting reflection-like concept. I even turned my laptop upside down to look! 🙂 Beautiful details within the purple!!!
Absolutely one of your best paintings:))))
Thank you my dear Ann, I’m so very glad you like it!
Bonjour Marina, j’en veux un pareil à la maison! Je n’ai plus de superlatif, je te les ai déjà tous donnés … prochaine livraison de superlatifs attendue la semaine prochaine 😉
Bonne journée (encore un peu de peinture STP).
Amicalement. Eric
[This time it took a dictionary to read!] And I’m running out of “thank yous”, to thank you enough and show my gratitude to your “superlatifs” comments! Have a great weekend, Eric and thank you so much …again.
next time, i will try it in greek 😉
never use greek superlatif
At least we’ve got very similar grammar!!!!
I’ve learned old greek when i was a little boy!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But now, shame on me, i have all forgotten 😦
…that’s a relief!!!!
