Tea in the library

Today lets have a tea in my "library".

A tea and a famous weekly newspaper.

I love newspapers, their rustling when opening and reading a lot, 

could spend the day with them...

And old newspapers are well to use as a base for painting 

or pasting binders for my collage sheets.

With an e-paper you can do nothing do except reading and reading 

on the screen is too exhausting for my bad eyes.

The bookshelf in background includes a lot of great books.

I'm a big booklover. That means paper-books.

It's only one shelf from a lot, therefore I call the room library.

Especially I like books with pictures: photobooks, 

art book or well illustrated childrens books.

Have a big collection ans I like them all.

There are books, it bothers me, they have no pictures, 

because the text calls for pictures. 

And so I illustrate them by myself.

Except books I love cats (you've probably noticed that long ago) and birds.

My cat love birds too, hehe -

I could never lock a bird in a cage, they are a symbol of freedom for me.

Often wish, I could fly.

Often dream to have a bird nearby, a little bird on my hand 

or a big bird as my companoin. As in a fairytale...

The acrylic painting, what I show today, is, frankly, not my own motive.

I saw a painting in the web, what spoke to me.

I could not buy it, so I've decided to paint a simimliar, only for myself.

It's not a copy, I painted only the subject from my memory.

I so wanted to have such a picture!

I painted it in january.

Not quite satisfied yet, but I'm still in the beginning. 

I started painting againonly last december.

At the moment I'm not painting - my working desk is full of snippets.

 Make paper work, collages.

But in next weeks I wanna paint again.

Wish, I had more free space for creativity!

Have a great and creative time :)
