"When life gives you lemons…”

I love this proverbial phrase. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life while making lemonade out of it is turning them into something positive and desirable.

I walk home across the rice-fields, green emerald rice fields. The grassy blades whispering, swaying in the gentle breeze. Let us walk once again through the innocent charm of the paddy fields. Hiding ourselves in this cocoon of simplicity. Emerald green fields.

The ancient Greeks had two words for love: “eros” to describe sexual attraction and “philia” to capture the feeling of a person being an immensely close soulmate which is beautiful, because friends are important. Friendships can be as deep as being in love. It’s always been second nature to me to show my love and appreciation for those related or not, through words. Maybe we have to tell our friends, family and partners more often “I love you”.

I love the shades of brown in my home. It’s a warm rich color and blends so good with other shades and accents in my home. I love to add a little coral or pink like some fabric or candles. It’s like instant brightness and it’s beautiful with the brown artwork. Brown is beautiful with complementary colors such as  red or yellow-whites, dusky pink, lighter blue or sage green. The warmth of brown is associated with reliability, healing and strength. Brown associates with the earth, a calming and resilient element that keeps us quite grounded.

 Beautiful warm and earthy colours inspired by the spice curcuma.

Dancing to her own rhythm singing her song, coloring her rainbow wandering in her colored sky, writing her own poetry. A love story of her with her soul. Finding beauty in her own reflection.

Ethereal Passion

Softly woven petals

opening like secrets.

They reach, they wander,

they find the sun in their own way.

A longing to feel,

to truly connect.

There’s something wild about them,

something honest.

They bloom bold,

but only for a while.

Passion flowers,

almost not of this world.

So fragile, almost floating,

like morning mist in sunlight.

Ethereal passion,

found in tiny small things,

fragile but real.

Not loud, just real.

Looking at a picture, allowing yourself to be absorbed, is quite similar to reading. Immersing into a story, diving in.

I love to get lost in reading books and I painted this artwork to remind myself to read more.

I love to create abstract artwork because it leaves so much room for intuition, freedom and serendipity. Dream away and let the story unfold…

Dreaming. Embracing the quiet of the night before the day begins.

Following the light. Embracing every part of the journey listening and learning. Sometimes the story unfolds different, but that doesn’t mean less beautiful…

Trusting the process. Free to try again, appreciating the unexpected.

So much passion. Open heart seeing more, my feet on the ground.

Stillness reminds me this present moment. My mind and harmony with my heart embracing the stillness Loving embrace.

The evening sky casts a dusty pink light across the scene, soft and muted, like a faded filter. The palm trees stand tall in the glow, their edges blurred by the warmth. It’s quiet—the kind of stillness that makes the ordinary feel unreal.

An ode to beautiful Siroua, magical memories of our stay in the beautiful Berber village. Driving through the Atlas Mountains, a breath-taking road with beautiful panoramic views of colorful Berber villages and the fields in which women are working.

In Japan the color red is regarded as an auspicious color and associated with happiness, strength and joy. This painting always makes me happy, I love the bright color and the pattern of her kimono.

Shopping for someone else but not sure what to give them? Give them the gift of choice with a tinystories gift card.

"I think, that giving art as a present is a wonderful way of passing on sentiment, showing that you know a person, that you are thinking of her/him, and giving them something that they’ll cherish." xTiny

Life is all about connecting with what’s around us. Nature, family, friends and strangers. Sometimes you do not need words to connect, it can be a look, a gesture, a smile and you feel the connection within.

I love the mountains, rivers and the ocean. On our winding journey of life, we are like the river, coursing it's way gingerly toward the sea, exploring the universe of that inward journey toward the self.

Love to paint landscapes and flowers ‘en plein air’, outdoors. The sun is going, clouds are moving, animals are flying around… Love the process of observing, listening, the brush strokes, and mixing the colors.

Painting landscapes is a beautiful thing for your eye to travel through. It’s more then just painting the scene, I really want to feel it through painting.

When I paint, I feel it and I get into it.

Landscape and flower paintings are bringing the peace of nature into our homes and calm our souls, and inspire you to live a life connected with nature.
