Pots and flowers


"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary."
Pablo Picasso

Well, if one paints daily ... which is something i would like to do.  I strive to get a rythm in my creative work and make a fixed date for it and keep it, but so far, i'm not really good at it because job offers so many demands and distractions. This is a small canvas i was working on in a gentle kind of mood, a little study of something nice and simple. 
Love for a happy weekend!

    LOVELY WORLD YOU HAVE HERE DEAREST ONE! Big hugs to you Martina, Anita

    I really like the use of a repeated image that you've used.

    How funny, I was just at the Picaso art museum in San Francisco 2 days ago and this is the quote that I love the best, it was written on the wall of the museum!

    I ADORE your beautiful painting! One of my favorite ones I have seen of yours...:) Lovely job! It is hard to squeeze painting (or art) in everyday when life is so busy. Even though I wish there were enough hours in the day to do that!!

    Happy day to you!!

    xoxo...Gloria

    Just beautiful Martina! I hope that you are able to paint more than not, I agree with Anita, we need to do some things for us and take time for the pleasures that we love.
