What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.
John Updike
Howdy lovelies, how are you? Feels like i've been away for a long time now, hibernating in my den. Actually, i have been sick with a bad flu right after christmas and felt the need to just do just nothing for a while, exept being with my family and dear friends, eating a lot of good food, reading and resting.
So - time to shake of this "jet-lagged" feeling and enjoy a shower of fresh inspiration. Welcome you all to the New Year! Can't wait to come visit and see what you have been up to. Do you have a Motto for 2013? I still look around to know, what mine is - let's see!
Paintings in this post are from the series "Wild Girls". They are available as art-prints in my shop here.
happy new year!!

Happy New Year doll!! Those are so wonderful...such gorgeous colours used...I do hope you will continue to get better and better. My family was all unwell on Christmas day. Enjoy your week xx
ReplyDeleteOh Martina! WOW, you did have so many things break down on you this Christmas holiday! I DO HOPE that you were able to replace them! I don't know what I would do without my computer; the washer?I could go to the laundramat. The car? WELL, that would have to be taken in immediately because we need it so! But the computer is somewhere in the middle, where we can leave it until we can afford to repair it, but all the while that it sits, we MISS THE FRIENDSHIP that we have come to love.
ReplyDeleteThank you my dear. Thank you for another great year of beautiful art and friendship. Anita
Yay Martina..I have missed your creative spirit..gorgeous art..stunning beauty..and fabulous color palettes! glad you are feeling better! It is wonderful to spend quiet time with loved ones!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a magical 2013 filled with many blessings! I look forward to more of your inspiring sharings!

My darling MARTINA!
ReplyDeleteIt was so GOOD to see your comment this afternoon! I so understand what you are saying about the feeling of being OVERWHELMED! I too, feeling as if I had to have EVERYTHING in place on January 1, felt defeated when I realized that the plans I had to see unfold in 2013 not develop as rapidly as I hoped for. But we have an ENTIRE YEAR to do what we hope for. So I understand what you are saying! RHYTHM...that is a good subject to ponder. Oh how wonderful to hear from you and thank you for visiting with me. You get your rest, and find your rhythm as it naturally comes back to you my dear. You have it!!! LOVE TO YOU, Anita
Hello Martina, these are so lovely! Nice to have you back, have a wonderful week....
