Come what may I shall love you until my dying day (illustration/ ilustracija)







Come what may I shall love you until my dying day....I imagine this line got stuck in my mind first time I heard that Moulin Rouge soundtrack song (even if there the lines go ' I will love you...' instead of ' I shall love you...' but I guess that may be subconscious regret that the 'shall' is becoming somewhat of an archaic word in the English language) Anyhow, that would be the explanation behind the line and the inspiration for the illustration is the same as the one behind the song: love.

Thank you all for your comments! My laptop is sort of working now, so I hope I will be seeing more of you.

Come what may I shall love you until my dying day...pretpostavljam da mi se ovaj izraz uvukao u glavu još otkada sam čula sountrack za Moulin Rouge (samo je shall umjesto will, ali možda je to moje podsvjesno žaljenje što shall postaje arhaično u engleskom jeziku) Uglavnom to je objašnjenje iza naziva ilustracija, a sama ilustracija je kao i pjesma nadahnuta : ljubavlju.

 Hvala svima na komentarima! Laptop mi donekle radi sada, pa se nadam da se češće vidimo.

 Ljubim vas!

    I was also taught that "shall" is an archaic word, so I'm not using it often. I just hope that the word "love" would never become an archaic one:) That drawing is so sad and dramatic to my mind. I remember where was time in my life, when I was drawing really scaring pictures, my mom was really terrified about my mental condition. But at the same time in an agony of grief I consider myself to be the most inspired and creative

      I've always been puzzled about the connection between sadness and creativity...but I think that often there is more to sadness than we want to acknowledge because often there is a reason behind it (and sometimes something we don't want to admit to ourselves) so art may be helping us find answers in our soul...and sometimes perhaps even at places that are not accessible to words.

      I agree, Art helps to overcome difficulties, settles our nerves and mind. I do believe that Art has such an ability to help heal emotional wounds and soul.

    Kada sam počela da učim engleski pre 100 godina, shall se nekako još uvek i korisitio, a sad pa i ne baš. U svakom slučaju mislim da je jako lepa i nekako prefinjena reč i da je šteta što neko ko danas možda kreće da uči misli da je arhaizam, ako se uopšte i susreće sa njom... Crtež i cela priča oko njega su mi kao i uvek predivni :)

      mogu ti reći da i sama ne znam što bi nekome savjetovala da koristi. U školama se radi s Oxford udžbenicima...a djeca i mladi nekako najviše upijaju engleski američkog govornog područja, tako da i nastavnici nekad nisu na čisto na kojoj varijanti ustrajati...ako ikad budem te sreće da se uspijem zaposliti u školi, morat ću o tome dobro razmisliti:)

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
