Dipping my toes in clear cool water, chatting with my friend, watching the serene scenery and having a wee sip of wine. Life can be good.
Just wonder what the cat is looking at!

It's very warm at the moment. But hey, it is summer in Spain, so I won't complain. We keep a slow pace during the day and stay indoor for all of the afternoon. Gives me time to paint.
Below two impressions of driving on our scooter through the country side. And yes, it is a Massey Fergusson 35 I don't know if this is my most favorite subject to paint. I've done a few now (see nelli-s.weebly.com/ladies.html) , so maybe it is. Anyway, I really enjoy this and it always makes me giggle a little. It's getting summerly again and I will join them in a few weeks to look at the waves gently lapping the shoreline, inviting me to have a splash.
An impression of my local beach. Can't wait to dip more than just my toes in it. Still a bit too cold right now. I'll have to practice my patience for another few weeks, but it is difficult ;)
Once again it has been a while. As you can see I did another impression of "The Rock" and again it took some time to finish. This time it is done with oil on board. How it developed from start to finish can be found here.
It has been quiet on my blog for too long, sorry. But my latest creation took quiet a while to complete. A big one of my impression of the Rock. I've been there in June for a wedding with a great bunch of people. Had lots of fun and did some sightseeing. You can see the Rock from almost everywhere so I had to make a painting of it.
Fairies in my gardenI have fairies in my garden. Only when you have real patience and they feel unobserved they dare to come out and play. I feel really blessed with my little garden, sometimes bringing my husband to despair as I do everything in pots and I have over a 100. But after the huge gardens and fields in Ireland, I have this under control and can give it my full attention and love.
Today I added a new painting to my site, called 'Butterflies'. When I started I had something completely different in mind, namely something with trees.
You can see how it evolved at https://nelli-s.weebly.com/the-making-of.html. The final result as below can also be viewed at https://nelli-s.weebly.com/scenery.html I'm so excited. I've revamped my old website I had in Ireland when I was spinning my wool. As I now live in Spain, a new chapter has been added. A new chapter "Feeling art in the Spanish sunshine".
- Emotions: looking into the world - Different: from the heart - Making it from love - Sharing ideas - Experiences and feeling ........... Nelli's art. I have been drawing and painting from a very young age. Followed classes and read a lot about paintings and painters. For me to draw and paint I need a quiet mindset. My life in Spain is giving me that. The light and area where I live gives me so much inspiration. I use different mediums and styles and do it my way. My art is not commercial and not created to be sold. But, if there is something that catches your eye and you want to have a closer look, you're welcome to contact me. |
