Friday Pretties: Blue flowers




Don't you love feeling blue sometimes?
I feel like taking a little break in outer space right now, or at the blue lagoon, or in the desert, where the night skies must be vast and the stars huge and dripping with light. I heard that the bushmen even hear the stars making sounds, and i'd love to find out wether i could hear them too.

This painting was done after reading a lot of Laurence van der Post, a south african author who wrote wonderful books about the bushmen and the animals of his country. The painting is long sold, but i remembered it today, because i craved this kind of deep but friendly blue. The kind you sometimes see, just before it gets dark. In Aura Soma colour-therapy the blue bottle stands for peace and peaceful leadership.

Have a colourful weekend with everything you like best - i'd be happy to hear from you!

  4. Martina my dearest! I agree! BLUE is my favorite color....for years it was peridot green and I will always love that color, but AQUA, TURQUOISE and COBALT blue are my dream....you are quite the artist my friend....I see you went to NOWHERE! I hope you were able to see my illustrations....the post you commented on was by another team member, but if you wish to see my illustrations, just look for the Faerie Mermaid and other drawings of Tea Rat and Rattus and the THEATRE PRODUCTION....and of course, at the bottom of the post it will say posted by CASTLES.......

  9. Hi Martina!
    This painting provokes thought and emotion... the fiery flowers at the bottom and the beautiful oak leaf... to me, symbolizing strength ~ in the center...
    Very beautiful, pretty indeed!
    It must be difficult to part with a painting that helped "wash away dust from your soul."

  10. MARTINA!!!! OH, yes, Orange and Vanilla together TASTE SO GOOD!!!!! This is a treat that most Americans remember: CREAMSICLE or it was also called a 50/50 bar. But the colors together also evoke a refreshing air...the scent as well is magical, and I can see you wearing this color! Being an artist yourself, you probably understand color better than I do; I have always shyed away from using colors...I am the illustrator, and a quick-draw at that...I leave the coloring to someone else, but I think I want to play around with colors more!

    Yes, do go to Nowhere and look for the posts by Castles Crowns and Cottages or Rattus Scribus (my husband) so you can see my drawings....silly pen and ink, but nonetheless, fun!!!!!

    Thank you for your visit my sweet friend! Anita

  15. Maratina! Heeeee....you made it to Nowhere to have a little dance with Tea Rat! He can really shake things up....and oh how I love to make people chuckle.....I am having fun playing with a little animation.

    Our weather is also telling us that school is just around the corner! Two more weeks and I am back in the classroom preparing for the first week of September to welcome all the children back. Enjoy your cool weather dearest one...we are having some cool breezes come in and it is lovely.
