Hello, Autumn!

This is my favorite "Hello!", It's not the first time I say this, and for sure, not the last...

Yesterday I went to take a walk and sunbathe for a while, and I checked all my providers like... the pine tree from the statue, the locust tree from the museum and so on... Sounds a little bit odd but I have already set in my mind from where I get some common plants I use more often...

  • I really want to describe you a great feeling that I get wen I look for plants and inspiration in nature, colours, smells, sound and everything that might trigger in me the curiosity to..create...! Yesterday I realised that I play with everything I find because I'm just curious of what might come out... And paying so much attention to surroundings, I get a warm feeling of melting in Nature's deepest core and a beautiful connection with everything...

I have no plan when I find an interesting leaf, or a flower, a piece of wood or something that could "make me curious", but even after months, I find a meaningful purpose for everything I gather... Actually, I don't know how "meaningful" is for others, but I know that what brings me joy, satisfaction and enthusiasm is meaningful for me...:)

Yesterday a come home with many Autumn gifts and colours, starting with pine tree branches and some roses (for a mask I'm working on for Halloween:)!), figs from a tree in the neighbourhood, many dried leaves in all possible colours and some green leaves to put them in my books to dry... Plans have changed when I got home because I became "very curious" of how those green leaves would leave marks on a napkin bed, if I soak them in paint...

I overlaid 4 layers of white napkin, splashed some water with a water spray and made the green background with a very diluted green... I soaked the leaves in red paint and put them face down on that surface, and pressed them a little... At the end I added some more details with a less diluted paint....

This is the entire painting:)

Thank you so much for passing by :)!

                Very nice! What are you going to do with the print?ive found that I can take apart the layers of a napkin and decoupage it to a surface.
