My abstract digital artwork ‘Secret Garden’.
This is my soft and pink bird-keeper fairy Odette, chalk pastel drawing
My resent digital artwork ‘Field of Colors’ – only happy colors, hopefully!
Cherry blossoms were in full bloom when I went for photo walk to capture them.
My latest digital painting dreamy girl ‘Ava’.
The dragonfly is an amazing and harmless insect. It has been a subject of intrigue in almost every civilization or country. Even the word dragonfly has its source in the myth that dragonflies were once dragons. ‘Golden Wings’ is my fourth painting from my insects series.
Time, time… it’s just running away and disappears without a trace. Sometimes we use it too slowly and other times accelerate things unnecessarily. But what if it was possible to keep unused or badly used time and return it back when we really need it?
It is estimated that there are 600 million stray animals in the world.
Do you ever think about shadows? Have you noticed how shadows sometimes look more beautiful than the shape that created them? Some people chase tornadoes. I like chasing shadows and here is what I found.
I don’t believe in complete death. Energy can’t disappear – it just changes the form. This spiral is a journey that leads to light. My painting ‘Rebirth’.
“We will take Google+ with us wherever we go. Because we became friends here. We grew as a community. We are Google+ and nobody can take that away from us! Good luck. I will miss you all! Nothing can erase all the good that has happened here!”
More blooms – more spring. An explosion of Blooms was continuing for last several days and I was focusing on the blooming sky this time.
Nigella is my favorite girl from ‘All Colors Matter’ series. She is a kind of person who fully enjoys her life.
Daffodils are one of the most popular flowers in the world. The simple beauty of trumpet-shape blooms is so charming.
Tops of Trees Invite You to Fly!
I can’t take my eyes away from the tree tops. I love photographing them just before they put on spring clothes and cover their bare skeleton.
Here are more blossom pictures as I promised earlier – the result of my photo walks around Tbilisi, Georgia.
Did you know that red is one of the top two favorite colors of all people living on the Earth?
My chalk pastel drawing ‘Mathilda’ – ginger girl living in her bubble world. I think she must be a librarian 🙂
I don’t really know what exactly is this creature. Butterfly? Moth? Maybe just plant? Although whatever it is, it represents connections with nature.
Marion, the yin and yang girl, some balance between darkness and light, black and white…
This is all about how some connections can make flowers when others just an empty place. My acrylic painting ‘Connections’.
My another chalk pastel drawing – bright flowery girl Adelynn.
Love is all around when violets are all around!
Violets are one of spring’s most loved flowers – few plants symbolize the renewal of nature as much as the violet. My collection of violet photos.
My chalk pastel drawing ‘Savannah’, romantic girl who loves to be surrounded with flowers.
My chalk pastel drawing Giselle – a flower goddess, or a crazy gardener at least 😄😄
Some early Spring trees are blooming in Tbilisi and I’m so excited. I walk in the city like a shopaholic in a shopping mall, searching for the perfect Spring accessory – beautiful blossoms!
If the infinity flower was existed it would look like this – without starting or ending points – a bit purple, a bit orange, a bit pink. And goldish and shiny as the sun.
This was my first time painting with acrylics and I was afraid a little bit, but I was surprised by how easy and pleasant it was. I loved the whole process!
Night is usually associated with something black and dark, but for me it is more interesting and richly colored then day.
I’m fascinated when spring starts winning over winter – when green leaves burst out of the ground and stretch up towards the sun.
This is how sometimes I see the sun, my favorite star in the sky.
I’m sure she has some magical powers as she is a fairy of flower fields and forests 😉
Water lilies are one of the most beautiful and elegant plants in the world. They symbolize different things in different countries – rebirth and optimism, creation, etc.
First Days of Spring: A Walk With My Camera
Season of flowers is just around the corner!
‘Lily’ – My First Digital Drawing
It was an amazing experience which opened to me whole new world of possibilities.
Stunning Ginger Street Cat Enjoyed Our Meal
We met this ginger gentleman some time ago in a McDonald’s restaurant. He was sitting at the edge of the outdoor seating area like a colorful cat statue.
Here is my digital artwork of golden girl 🌞🌞
I have not yet met a single person who doesn’t experience that special Friday feeling. It’s the end of the working week for many people and a time to anticipate the freedom and fun that the weekend offers. Read more to find out some fun facts about Friday 😉
My colorful digital artwork for warm vibes.
I always feel a bit sad when I walk past old fences that are broken, collapsed and re-painted repeatedly and weathered pale by sun, rain and time. I feel compelled to capture and preserve their dilapidated state and can’t stop photographing them.
My chalk pastel drawing of a girl, who loves to go for walk with flowers 🌸🌸🌸
This time of the year nature appears to be completely confused. The trees and vines think it’s still Autumn and don’t want to let go of leaves and fruits, whilst some plants think it’s already spring and time to bloom.
I found some early signs of spring – very, very tiny signs 💛
It seems I was in very ‘pink mood’ while I was creating 😃
This is one of the first pictures I made after I started painting again. Because of the miniature detail it took several weeks to complete. When I finished it, I promised myself that I wouldn’t paint such highly detailed pictures again but my next picture was even more detailed 😃
I am sure this street cat remembered that I had fed him when I first saw him. When I saw him again after several months I didn’t have any food in my bag so I just stroked him. To show his appreciation, he began a lovely performance involving stretching and posing ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! All these hearts from me to you!
Ivy is my absolute favorite plant. I can spend hours and hours photographing it – climbing up buildings and walls, through tree canopies, on the ground. I love it in every season of the year, in every way and condition – when it is green, red or even completely dried out. Every single ivy plant is a finished piece of art for me.
Although I created this website as a journal of my art journey and artsy lifestyle generally, I need to say couple of words about my family members in case they invade to my blog pages and occupy some part of it. Or at least actively participate in the stories, I’ll post here as I wouldn’t be able to restart my career if not their support.
I love wandering around parks and forests in winter time when the leaves have already fallen off, leaving only skeletons of bark and branches.
My first drawing after twenty something years break
Please don’t ask me why she has a tail – she grew it herself. If I was honest, I would admit that I always wanted to have a long, fluffy tail 😄😄
The Beginning of my Art Adventure
It took long tough times to re-discover my ‘inner artist’ J Is it too late? I don’t know. Let’s see. A Chinese proverb says, the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is today.
