Spring berries.


While I am ill and sit at home the whole day, I have nothing to write about (almost nothing=) ).I want to talk about something ordinary. For example..., I bought a nice lush soap "Porridge". I don't want to do advertising or to do blog about cosmetics, but I want to write about everything that inspires. And so...I don't like to use soaps. I share my skin to be normal, but it can become dry with soap. I bought that soap to my husband, he prefers soaps instead shower gels. But if you know me, you know how I like lush products. And it's spring time- time of renewing and refreshing. So I can't not to try this soap "Porridge" by myself. And it's fantastic, it's not a soap, it's luxurious delicious masseur!! It purifies you body with grains (or how are they called?) and it smells tasty. What else do your skin need? Don't you believe me - I've made photos. ))) It looks so unusual! And it inspires! I like body care products but this one is just to have fun.

It's an explanation  from the internet Lush shop 

No one’s been eating this porridge. But they are using the oaty goodness to clean and exfoliate sensitive skin
The pinhead oats we’ve packed into this soap not only give off lovely cooling oatmilk, but they also give a knobbly texture that acts as a great body scrub.



Talking about natural products, I painted table grapes. I bought grapes but it had no real taste, if it is possible to say it had no taste itself. But it looked good or even perfect (don't explain me why, I understand). So it became an ideal object to paint. So I had no more interesting natures snd I enjoyed this like plastic grape's view.


Earlier I had had no interest to still life paintings, maybe I should change my opinion. I like holland still life paintings with some unexpectable details such as insects. It's an example:

Making a print.

As you see I enjoy natural themes for my art doings. I am so in love with nature that I am ready to sit near the tree and to copy its bark. I am the true environmental lover and I use flowers for my sketches to make their beauty eternal. It's my satisfaction in my own life and I hope to get a good job in future which will be connected with my inspiration and my doings.


I made some sketches of flowers for a new painting on a fabric.



 It was a beginning.


But suddenly my mood changed and all I did with my "beginning" was an impression of avangard art. It was not so bad and I cut out a piece of my final fabric painting and put it on a vest. I have no sewing machine and I didn't finish, but I think it looks good.




                                                                 The fragment.

Sea- floral


I decided to create this logo and I finally do these posts about my art:  I have said earlier that I am studing seashells, their shapes and structures, I did some sketches for painting on a fabric, but I got that sketches are better than main work, so I think they are helpful from the position of self-education. Sport and Art are my best likes, so day by day I do sketches for a future use ( unfortunately, they couldn't say the same about my sporty shape now =( )...





One day I saw a nice flower in a shop - Gerber. It was so amazing that I bought it to myself - usually my husband buy flowers for me but it was an exception. The Gerber was red and I used the red paper for a sketch. And later I got an idea to use this painting on a porcelain. Using "a porcelain painter" I changed the sketch on a surface, but nevertheless I am satisfied with the result. Don't you?

The original sketch.

April.

For many times I have already tried to write a post about my art doings, but spring goes and changes a step of of my  thoughts. I guess many people write about "the weather comes warmer and we put on less clothes..." That's all great! But I want to show you just some of my romantic season shots. Of course I'll do art posts later.

Lazy daily.

While I have no good job (I am a qualified interior designer if anybody don't know), I am progressing my English language online and paint. I knew a girl who had come from another side of our country, and during the last few days we were spending time together. She is watching films at my house and I am painting her portrait. We have already watched "Jane Air", "Suggestion" and some episodes of soap operas such as "Vampire Diaries". It's funny but I did portrait not so successful. I did it in oil colours, and I am not sure that it's a finish. I used daily sunlight and some accessorizes. Maybe I lost shadows!? ) 



 My working place.

Walking on a dream!

Lots of people dream to live near the sea. And when your dream come true you are not always able to appreсiate it. But nevertheless everytimе I run in the evening near the Baltic Sea, I enjoy sound and view of waves. I can't explain what satisfaction I feel watching at the sea. These are some style photos but they would be nothing without sea view. =)














Losing career way.

It's not a secret that since we came to live to Baltijsk, it was difficult for me to find a good job. Firstly I had no computer, I left it at home. And all I did was the idea to produce my own place for drawing - I created my own circle of art and craft for children from 10 years in local House of Culture.
It was a good experience- I taught children to use different techniques, to try materials and to paint random things. I got some money for this work but I had only two children and all my circle seemed to be private lessons.
Also I worked in local art school, but they haven't got free working place for me and I changed other teachers, everything was ok, but my documents since my coming to Baltijsk was not ready (they were in making process) and I even didn't get my salary. (
But I got a suggestion to work in a Centre of Kid's Early developing and they sweared that I would get a high salary for short-day working. I didn't want to work with children from 2,5 to 4 years but they persuaded. For this work unfortunately I left my circle in the House of Culture. But I didn't get a high salary but I got not a good job which I did carefully ecxellent. I got bad chiefs as I think. But I don't want to write the details. As a result of my work I wrote article about my lessons in a magazine of our Centre. And I want to show some photos of 'my kids'. =)

Also I made a video for 'career going' but some noise spoiled it and I am not a professional movie maker.
