Days....

And there are days that looks like a painting of Monet, so beautiful and full with colors they are it is almost surrealistic...





And when you look around you understand how incredibly HUGE this world.....and how beautiful....



And sometimes you should smile....because it can make not only you feel better....



And than to run through the fields of golden remains just to see how far you can get...



And to walk on the new path, because new thing are always good...



And to smell the mint that you found on the way and to feel so incredibly refreshed it will make you happy...



And than to lay down and to look at the sky above you...



And to invite others to do the same...



And to share it with your loved ones....because when you share you have it double...



And than to laugh out loud because you both looks so silly :)



And than to question yourself.....do you feel different now? happier? :)



And when you come home to touch the little pointy miracle, because even spiky things can be so cute :)





There are so many things that only need your time to enjoy them.....and you really owe this time to yourself.....

Maria, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. When I am in school, I draw a lot, because it is required in art class, of course. But since I started summer break, the will to draw has left me and when I try, my drawings just come out bad. My inspiration has completely deserted me!

Has this ever happened to you and do you have a cure for the I-can't-draw-at-all disease? Help!

Dear Katy, I am sure this is a "disease" that can happen to any artist :) sometimes it just means that you need a time for rest and it is also important. If you see that it takes too long I would suggest you to do couple of very simple things to "awake" again your creativity:

1. Visit a museum or look through the art books on work of others.
2. Try to paint your feelings instead of painting specifical subjects.
3. Paint outside, or paint from nature - flower, butterfly, whatever catching your eye.
4. Take a small scetching book with you - scribble in it whatever comes to your mind without thinking how good or bad it looks, just let it go :)

I hope it helps!

Thank you so much! Actually, I have been meaning to get to the art museum soon. And I have realized that doodling does help. ^_^ Hopefully my inspiration comes back soon!
