Friday Pretties: Pink and yellow





Shoes and Flowers
Two of my favorite items in one painting - 3 paintings that form a whole. Some of you might know these paintings - i think i have shown them last year already, but somehow, these colors and the spirit of that work are exactly what i feel today, a combination that makes me happy, like a dance or a piece of music i love. It was sold, so i only have these pictures to look at. After a period of hard work on the magazine, i hope to find more time for my art again. I miss it and crave to dive into the free flow of colors and shapes, that special energy that comes back to me with more sunlight and longer days. A creative celebration of spring!

Am grateful for all the beautiful things around - and for you my friends, who are always so kind and uplifting in your sweet comments and in your own blogs, little spaces of wonderful energy i love visiting. Isn't a free weekend such a lovely thing? Have a great time - and see you soon!

    Ahhhh.... I am home after a long week. I am home in front of the prettiest paintings by a remarkable artist, and friend. It was crazy when I first came by earlier today; it was RIGHT BEFORE the kids came back from lunch and my most INTERESTING and challenging student ran in and over to my desk and I just wanted to savor more of your painting!!!! No more snow....the daffodils are up and the air is warm. I BELIEVE IN SPRING!!!!

    Have a magnificent walk this weekend dear friend! Anita

    Beautiful colours, so bright!! They are two of my favourites as well, I think because they are two things that always come in such beautiful colours and designs, so I can't help but smile when I see one that I enjoy :) I hope you have a wonderful weekend!! xxx
