Miss Kitty

Friday is ''fish day'' and all Miss Kitty is thinking about  is getting her little claws on the catch of the day!! This is my entry for Mixed Media Monday

Greek parking

Athens is finally sunny again! After a week of clouds and cold temps (low 40's) it's 63 degrees today!! yay! I have to say that ever since moving here from the US, this Greek bright blue sky has changed me as an artist and as a person!! My colour palette is so much brighter than before and even though the transition period has been longer than I expected...I find myself being more positive and happier here. who cares if I still can't parallel park the stupid car! One thing about living here is that anything goes...meaning in this case that I'll just park on the sidewalk..lol which annoys Harry (my hubby) but hell..if everybody else does it..

I just don't sweat the small stuff !! I try to live life at it's fullest and enjoy the little things. I don't care about credit cards anymore. I cut them all up before I left, except for one that I use when I go back home to shop till I drop :))

The other thing I love about living here is that it's more laid back and I get to go out more often. There are hundreds of little cafes in my neighborhood. Going out for coffee is a favorite pass time here! No mater what time it is, all the cafes are full of people!

I think that my paintings reflect this changed person!!

Harry was here on his monthly visit from Libya and all I had time for,  was to finish two pages in my journal. I've been obsessed with fish lately; eating them and painting them! so this is what I made.

The Pinball Queen

May I present to you... The Pinball Queen,  my latest creation for Mixed Media Monday.

Daisy, the Shibori artist

Someone is being very bad today!! Getting tangled up in my scarves and then growling if I try to take them away!! No snackies for you today,  Miss Daisy!

Gazi

Last night I took a much needed break from painting and went to one of my favorite hangouts, Tapas Bar in Gazi.   This neighborhood  has been named Gazi primarily due to the fact that in the past there used to be a gas factory of the same name. It's full of cute little restaurants and bars and is always packed with people.

On my way there I saw a picture of Sean Connery among graffiti and it looked so much like a photo transfer on a wall. How did they do that?!

Following my dream

Yesterday I went here to discuss my upcoming show in May.They told me that I sold five paintings last month! I am soooo thrilled about this! beyond words! I was kinda nervous about painting my journals on canvas, that they would look too busy etc, but now I know I'm on the right track. Just following my dream...
Now...I need to come up with a title for my show. Any help would be appreciated :)

  I also want to thank all of you for those wonderful comments for '' The Bird Fairy ''. These comments mean so much!  I painted that in my journal and now will make a painting of this cute fairy!
