Hi everybody :)

Im writting this post with a bit delay but I couldn't do it earlier. But better later than never :) Just want to say that on the 21 Februrary one of the most known Poish painters Jerzy Nowosielski died in the age of 88. He was one of the best Polish painters, graphic and stage designer. The most stupid thing is that after his death on the 24 February somebody broke into his home and stole some of his icons :(

I won't be writting here about his life…

WOW! This is insanely coolsome!

While traveling in Ireland in June of 2010, we came upon this monument to The Unknown Woman Worker.  It was at an entrance to Europa Buscentre in Belfast and I found myself very fascinated with it.

"White canvas stares back at me

Screaming go on I dare you

Strike at me...

It’s been too long since you passed my way ..

Stick that brush

In a pot of sunshine and make a start

Go on I dare You ....."…

My friends, who have several rescued horses, asked me to paint something to complement their ranch style decor .  I found this image by an American artist and, right away, it took my breath away. This is my first serious effort. Although it is not my own original idea, I enjoyed the liberties this textured…

As always, something fantastic from The Daily Muse...a retired firefighter turned artist with wonderful results.

I recently entered this piece in an online challenge called "Just For Fun" and that's exactly what I had in mind when I made it :)…

Recently i found in the school's trash an old book with these great yellow-sepia pages and i thought i could use it for collage pieces or as a background for paintings.
