Still so much of life
Thursday, 28 February 2013A new piece from bottled serial.
Andre is working on a new piece from bottled serial.
DAY 1. DAY 2. Yesterday we found the name for this piece - SOBRIETY. But here is the next morning inspiration (the painting is still in the process) - AA MEETING. Look at the bottles, doesn't they look alike a A.A. group in the meeting? I think it will be interesting to notice that I used here not "conventional" canvas but pice of old hessian fabric. Once upon a time this sack was full of seeds from Ireland and was taken by ship... Where?...

A very-very old one. Was painted in early 90th for a friend who was moving to another country. Then it was feeling that we'd never meet again, but, at fact, world gotta small in last 20 years, so, we met. We are keeping in touch and keeping hope to meet and have time together.
Photo is quite awful, sorry abt it. These black butterflies currently "living" in States. One day I'll arrive there myself and will get a better picture of it ;-)

Monday, 14 May 2012Carol Marine and her paintings![]() Finally we received our purchase of Carol Marine's books from States! I adore her brushwork! Now (I) have a pleasure of leafing through a book. And here is a tip from Carol, useful for everyone who paints with oil: " I found a very cool solution for taking breaks from painting! They're called "paint savers" and they're little suction cup thingies that keep your paint wet for weeks. And instead of explaining them away I'll just show you this picture and give you a link to the website: www.paintsavers.org. Very cool!"Click the link to see video of Paint Savers 7 days test.

Cyclamen flower flowers dialog
Thursday, 5 January 2012A flower"A flower" - from series of "Cyclamen", Size: 12x8 cm Media: oil colors © VANESSA STASHINSKI 2012Every winter I have return guests - flowering cyclamens. First they came as singles - delicate pale lilac propellers. It's fun to watch them - during the light day they move their petals from complete down, through sides to "hands up" position. Their behaving remembers me sea stars. In some weeks they become a carpet. Dark fleshy green leaves are at the 1st floor and stars of cyclamens in the upper floor. Stars swing on thin legs, turning the faces to the sun. Sometimes they pour on the leaves of a handful of yellow pollen. Weightless iridescent hummingbirds hang over a flowers, picking "the Best piece". With dusk propellers are switching to night shift, if night cold they look especially happy and fresh. I hope to paint them more this winer - the season just begins.

Search This BlogABOUT USWhy Still Life
Still life is one of genres that often underestimated as it is considered educational. Let us disagree with this. Still life is a mirror of the moment, it often deals with everyday objects that seem us casual today, but in a while they would make an interest for spectator as "antique" stuff. Fashion, technologies, habits of people change faster then you can imagine. Once these still objects get reflected in the painting - they receive a fixed place in lines of our memories. Thanks to its ability to be composed in particular way, still life is an excellent tool to express the mood or idea of the author. Exactly alike one's mind it could be plain or deep, joyful or pissed of, to express curiosity/ balance or disbalance/ Zen or stress, etc.
TO CALL THEM NAMESWhen named - painting is getting personal. Reviving itself, he will wake you up to emotions, associations and thoughts. Giving creative names to the paintings we often turn the spectator to another direction. Named still life is getting alive, playful and actively interact with spectator.
