____________________________


After a long break from painting, the weekend finally saw me bring brush to paper.

i feel i have lost that connection with the fluidity of watercolour and so was overwhelmed with thoughts of starting.

i have also been without my computer for the last month as it had a major meltdown and needed hard drive replacement, so i am feeling overwhelmed on many fronts!

my apologies to you all for my long silence, hoping and trust you understand, it may take me a while to catch up with everything and to come around to see what you have been doing.

looking forward to your continued support, it is very much appreciated.

First, WELCOME BACK! You have been missed greatly. Great to see the creative juices working again.
Second, I do like this work very much. Its sad, but the "wash" over the moon softens it. It reminds me somewhat of your Garden God. You have a thing with eyes.
Wonderful painting to announce your return. Look forward to more in the future. L

Ciao Miriam.. che bello trovare un commento da te – un grandissimo (((abbraccio))) a te! Sei sempre nei miei pensieri. Spero che per adesso non ho piu` problemi con il computer! Mi devi scusare per il mio lungo silenzio. Spero anche di riprendere l’acquarello alla forte.. me la devo fare piano piano. Ti vengo a trovarti presto al tuo blog!

L.. You are so sweet, thank you so much for this warm welcome, especially since i was so anxious posting work up after such a long break. I have missed all the wonderful support! Thank you also for your thoughts on this piece. I do have a ‘thing with eyes’ they fascinate me!
Nice to have your comments relate back to my other work The Garden God II I have great affection for this work and funnily enough i had those same thoughts.
Wishing for many nice waves now that i find myself back in the water!

Hi Maria.. thank you so much for stopping by with your kind words, it encourages me. I have connected with my brush by way of picking it up, it felt strange after what has seemed a long time. I hope all is well with you and that you are continuing to create those magnificent pencil drawings – you are an inspiration!!!
Will be over soon to catch up on what you have been doing. (((hugs)))

Anche a me mancavi! :)

perugina said...

Hi Mimi.. aw... ditto! :)
sono contenta di essere tornata!

Italo said...

Perugina, se dico quadro al bacio ti offendi? :D
Bellissimo l'occhio e la lacrima.
Seguirò il tuo blog con particolare piacere. Ciao e buona settimana!

perugina said...

Ciao Italo!!
Resta tranquillo, che non mi offendo! :)
Grazie tanto per la visita, sarai sempre ben accolto.

Tito said...

Ciao Perugina, che piacere dopo tanto tempo ritrovarti sul tuo blog con un nuovo acquerello. E' un lavoro molto bello e suggestivo e, come spesso presente nella tua arte, pieno di dolcezza e di una vena di malinconia. Un'opera e una poesia che fanno pensare.....

perugina said...

Ciao Tito.. ti ringrazio molto per le tue gentile parole che mi incoraggia.
L'arte fa tanto parte della mia vita. La voglia di pitturare viene quando qualcosa mi inspira direttamente o pure come mi sento spiritualmente ed una riflessione. Ma comunque e sempre pitturata con la passione.
Sono contentissima di 'vederti'.
Un abbraccio
