Art, Mystery, and my morning Coffee🦋🌅

Image
Beginning with a randome photograph of a swan flapping its wings on the lake, as thick fog surrounded it and the mountains behind, and in addition to a thought I had waking up this morning, I decided to write about the majestic beauty of this World! Where all the birds and creatures join enjoing the earth company, among them and some people, like me.  And that the realization of this, the enchanting world around in relation to the self made me understand the swans wisdom for the Mystery. All the animals on earth are grateful for the ground and sky and the water they swim in, because they know something more than most people, they know how to be what they are, with such grace!! This world is sacred, like all creatures, like Art and mountains, likewise. How beautiful is to see it even in everyday things, like in a randome picture while morning coffee! Just How ! 🦋 Artwork digital sketch Aikaterini Kondyli 🦋

Idealism Philosophy and Water colors🦋

Image
~I write because I saw a Watercolor picture of Emily Bronte's dog which she did, she had drew the picture somewhere in 1890. A masterpiece of watercolor work of her dog "Keeper" and yet she was not a painter but her brother that means, I can imagine, she was also well art educated, that years were definitely good for learning to paint masterpieces even you weren't meant to be artist. And I think of her as an Idealistic spirit which she was of course, and beyond.  Some works like some words are made to inspire philosophical matters, at least to me who I like to appreciate the meaning behind of the beautiful things. If there is any. This thing is one for sure inspires me to write about Idealism in art and the way I'm thinking it, like a privilege to be a being not necessarily an artist, but a human with an idealistic eye. Life is not only for living, life is for the beauty and if you create beauty the meaning is more likely to be a meaningful person, if that exists....

The true meaning of the life as a full time artist 🐎🦋

Image
As I watch the new store of the street of my house which because of it's Sunday and no one is in though it's a new one and under construction yet, and I suppose the right thing to do if it's yours is be there every day until at least it's ready to open, my mind goes to the artists. As an artist myself and who ever is an artist like me 24/7 ready and "open" and Sundays are for "work" too if has to be, I can't think a day off or even vacation without at least shopping some supply and thinking about art or visiting galleries and art Exhibitions for inspiration. Of course I will not compare a store and a full time artist, it has nothing much to say for a shop on the street that has rules and people to pay etc.  But artists are really professionals in the general meaning or even normal working dudes? Painters are for sure but, artists who live their lives for art and not just for the living, are they do have a working limitation ever?  Even a career t...

Inspiration motivation Art supplies and the Workshopping 🦋

Image
~~~✍️🖌️ Ok, inspiration is one thing, the other is the Medium or better Mediums and art supplies. It's not rare that I find motivation and inspiration in new art supplies I collect from my standard sources in Athens or abroad. The perfect occasion is when we, my husband and I both artists we share the same enthusiasm for travel, and I am amomg all exploring the local art stores!! It's heaven! I like all mediums and the viewers of my art can tell, I have this craving for knowledge about my craft in every single detail and this can be reached by experience on all art mediums for a long time. Often I have wondered in the past where it will be all these information about acrylics oil paint patels and collage and combination with a ton of stuff going? Eventually I get better at it and I am properly good at the "Workshopping"! Last time my pleasure was great to share everything I know and was asked to answer about watercolor and pencil art with course during Workshop ...
