To find "right" frame is tricky deal. Good frame should fit the picture. Sometimes frame even improves the whole impression. Tuesday, 21 September 2010Wood Shavings Size: 60x42 cm Media: oil colors on canvas © ANDRE STASHINSKI 2010 This very old plane (about a hundred y.o.!) belonged to our friend's father. Ohh, no, the friend's name is not Pinocchio! We lent it for paint and it is appears in two pictures.  Here is the photo of painting "a-la prima" - We know you like to watch the process.  The third photo shows details. The goal (technical side) of this painting was to show different wood textures: loose and mellow shavings, soft wood of planks, table with half-erased old varnish. Different textures, but all of them are warm and golden. The cold blue of the blade comes for contrast.

It is in the same family as the pumpkin. When its getting dry, the seeds inside drying as well and falling one-one. By turning it upsidedown, you also get the sound of flowing water, which absolutely magic. The güiro is a percussion instrument consisting of an open-ended, hollow gourd with parallel notches cut in one side. It is played by rubbing a wooden stick ("pua") along the notches to produce a ratchet-like sound. Friday, 12 March 2010Pumpkins Elections
Right before Christmas Andre brought home exotic pumpkins. Their price also was exotic - it cost about x4 to compare to regular pumpkins. Seeing my raised eyebrows, Andre said he was going to paint these pumpkins and I mellowed.
... December passed and January passed as well. Pumpkins decorated our kitchen, changed colors and became part of interior. Sometimes we said that need to paint them already. February run away... In March pumpkins became change colors intensively - they lived their own life and welcomed spring. One Saturday Andre said "it's right moment now" and just did it!
