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 :)

  4. what a beautiful, warm library you have.Always thought if I could ever dedicate a room as a library it would be red:) I too love books-the real books you can hold and touch and write in.
    Your painting is gorgeous, very soulful. Happy T Day!

  8. I love books and libraries too. And tea and cats.
    But I do read e-books, as it is just easier when travelling.

  9. Ich würde gern in Deiner Bibiothek mit Dir aus dieser wunderbaren Teekanne Tee genießen und über den ein oder anderen Artikel in der "Zeit" diskutieren. Und dann könnten wir gemeinsam malen oder kleben! Das wär was!
    Happy T-Day liebe Mascha und das schöne Bild schreit nach Verlinkung zu Art Journal Joureny, auch wenn es im Januar entstanden ist ! ♥♥♥
    Hab einen schönen Nachmittag!
    Liebe Grüße

  14. You write very beautifully, Mascha. It's always a pleasure to read your posts. How wonderfully you put, "With an e-paper you can do nothing except read."

    Your photos are beautiful too. Thank you for sharing them with us for tea today.

    happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen

  15. I totally agree with you - I love to turn pages and do not like e- books! My hubby reads on his and I have tried it - not for me!!! I love your painting! Happy T Day! Chrisx

  16. I apologize. I would have been by sooner, but I ate something at dinner last night that didn't set well and I got very ill. I'm still trying to fight it.

    I love your beautiful tea pot and cups you shared in your "library" with us. I also love real books. I've never owned an e-reader and never will. I simply love the feel of the pages in my hand as I turn them.

    I am in awe of your new painting and, like you, lack the room I need to create more than one thing at a time. Your art always makes me smile.

    Thanks for inviting us into your home and sharing tea with us for T this Tuesday. Again, I am so sorry I'm late visiting.

  17. T in the library sounds like where I want to be. I also love books, and have stacks. Your tea looks so beautiful with the little lights. Hope it was a happy T day and happy Valentine's Day too. Hugs-Erika

  18. I too am a book lover andhad hundreds if not thaousands of books. Can you imagine the trauma of having to leave them behind when we moved country! I now have a Kindle, because we can't afford to buy books and have them sent over to Spain. I do miss the feel (and the smell) of a real book.
    Your painting is awesome. I suspect that is your dream, meeting this (hopefully friendly) bird and perhaps flying away with it.....
    Your tea by candlelight is so lovely.
    Happy Valentine's Day and a
    Belated happy T-Day,
    Lisca

  21. I love your invitation to tea, and the photos of your candlelit and in so cozy library! I am also a book lover, and *may* have outgrown my shelves!
    Thank you for the reminder that newspapers can make a good painting or collage base, I have a couple of art journals that need covers, and may use newspaper!!
