Wild
Flowers gone wild... I was testing how watercolor paper would work with my ink painting. Unfortunately ink always looks quite dull on it when compared to 'rice paper', which shows magnificent shades and nuances. But the problem with rice paper is that painting gets crinkled and needs to be mounted on a stiffer backing paper, which is a very difficult process. Currently I am sending my work to China to be mounted but that is time consuming. There must be soneone in London who has mastered the traditional Asian wet mounting technique?
Hi Sasa, dear friend, I'm sorry I disappointed you a bit with my post. but, you know, not always we are with all the lights (to say something). (to be honest with you ... I did not like what I did, really)
ReplyDeleteHey, I think a creative person (like you are) should not ask herself why she does what she does. You are unique in the world, in the universe, in this sense: nobody does what you do, and the way you do? OK? Only Sasa, but anyway, you're a human being, a human being who uses brushes to express what surrounds her life. Your brain today, processes this information and expressed as flowers. do not ask you why.
tomorrow, you will do houses, and another day animals, and before you did, bicycles. do not you think that the important thing is just to express yourself? i think so!!! Have a nice week Sasa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Oh no Roberto, you didn't disappoint me, you surprised me! That is always great!!!
DeleteI think I'll change to salt shakers and coffee pots, I think I'm bored with flowers... 8-P
Perhaps you were a flower in a former life.... Anyway, I think flowers are so divers that you can spend a lifetime on them, specially you! More more more!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I must have been that flower that blooms once every hundred years or so :-D
DeleteWhy not reading A Victorian Flower Dictionary by Mandy Kirkby, or The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbach? Maybe it is about what flowers communicate to us that attracts you. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula! I have a piece paper that I always carry in my bag listing books I want to read, ready in case I pop into a bookstore or library. I'll add your suggestions to the list, I'm curious!
DeleteBonjour Sasa,
ReplyDeleteJ'espère que vous allez bien. Les batailles de fleurs sont toujours supérieures à celles que l'on fait avec des armes. Ainsi assuré de ton caractère bienveillant et pacifique, je peux admirer en toute tranquillité ta dernière œuvre.
Très oriental, sensible, poétique Le trait est vif, nerveux, maîtrisé au travers d'un espace qui nous permet l'évasion. Une très belle œuvre qui te ressemble et dont je te remercie.
Bien amicalement.
Roger
Thanks Roger. I won't replace flowers with weapons :-) (But maybe with salt shakers...)
DeleteHi dear Sasa!! I just came to say: Happy Women's Day!!!!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI dont know why I always draw stupid little men who wear glasses...I don't like them either...Your flowers are much prettier though.
