Marina Kanavaki 
Nice work in watercolors. Would like to see more in more visits.
Nice to come by your interesting blog.
Also welcome to visit my travel-lifestyle blog.
Thank you.
Have a Blessed 2023.
Thank you very much!
Happy 2023!
I will certainly visit!
Another gorgeous painting, Marina! I’m so glad you’re reviving these old posts. Keep sharing, please. Hugs! โค๏ธ๐ฅฐ๐๐งก๐ฒ
Awww… thank you, Lauren, so happy youโre enjoying them! Many many hugs back and wishes for a beautiful weekend! โค๐คโค๐คโค
Love the revisits. Always admire the subtle detail you accomplish with water colors. Yamas!
Ah, Frank, thank you! Your words brighten my day. Yamas!
I love your woods. Not too much different that our woods.
Aww… thank you, my dear Tim. I’d love to see!
I’ve always been a big watercolor fan. This is a very intriguing composition– lovely. Thanks for providing the detail images as well. Great to be able to see your technique up close. : )
Thank you so much, Mark. Your words mean a lot!
The reason why I show details is that I have this thing for textures and enlarging a watercolor brings out such beautiful textures… I really don’t consider myself a “master’ [good heavens] of watercolor, or any medium for that matter. I simply use them to my advantage [that sounds pretty horrible, doesn’t it?!] ๐
I’m very happy following your beautiful work!
๐
Why, it doesn’t sound horrible at all– keep creating beautiful textures, AND using them to advantage! : )
Ah, thank you, Mark!!!
๐
Superbe, Marina!
Comme toujours!
A bientรดt,
Eric
Merci Merci beaucoup, Eric!!!!!

I love the colours in this. The trees could also be mushrooms growing on the soil – a result of the tree litter.
“mushrooms”!!! …why not!

So pretty, as usual, Marina! This is a different palette of colours than I’m accustomed to seeing in your work- I like it!

Sometimes I get this feeling that colors I may not be that fond of, try to do their best to please me! That’s when it hits me: I love them all! ๐
Marina .. you’re so so SO talent .. as Frank said .. I love the earthy colors with the little splash of blue.
Ah, I’m flattered and so glad you like it Viveka!

Earth tones with a hint of blue makes me smile.
…and so does your comment: ๐ !
Thank you Frank!
What an incredible scene. I love the spaciousness and clump of trees in the distance. A sunrise of the spirit. Beautiful.
…”sunrise of the spirit”, your words are beautiful Terry.
Thank you!
Marina,
I admire how you blend the woods into the earth, yet still convey a separate root system; all the while making it all float!.
Ah, Russ, what a nice thing to say!
Thank you!

Beautiful, big like ๐
Big thank you! ๐
