Thanks Kris ! I started painting 2 years ago with long breaks in between....but I always come back to brushes
I guess music and painting goes well together....

Nice to meet you Tom!

Those paintings look truly beautiful. Are they purely imagination or based on real scenery?
The one with the house and the road and also one with the windmill give out special vibes to me.

Hi Bogdan.

Paintings are mostly pure imagination I usually get an inspiration from paintigns or pictures I find in books n stuff

When I was very young I liked to paint very much. My grandfather was great at drawing and he always made very beautiful paintings. But in my case many years passed since I drew last time (around 10).
In my family we have mixed skills. We all know to play at minimum one instrument, my grandfather had as a hobby the painting (unfortunately he died) and my mother is with poetry.
But always it's a balance in everything and I wasn't shining at math, chemistry and other similar things

Seems your daughter inherited your talent I like how he drawn the smile. Very expressive face! Awesome!!!

YOu see Monica ..... art is in your family I think art is in every person and is manifestating on various levels, let it be through music, poetry, painting, ......you just need to embrace it. Thank god we have it, it set us free from this strange world full of wars, powerty, greed,....

Make art, not war I always say Cya girl!
