Painting (and outfit) of the day/ Slika i odjevna kombinacija dana

Samilosne oči / Merciful eyes

new painting/ nova slika

I can't say that I have a preferred medium when it comes to painting. However, I must disagree with those that say that acrylic paints are just like oil paints just a modern version. Nothing is like oil paints. I like painting with both acrylic and oils, but there is clearly a difference. I'm not saying one paints are better than others, for some paintings acrylics may be more suitable than oils. Furthermore, I have quite a few acrylic paintings that I hold dear.

 The need to write this might be just my reaction to acrylic paints being advertised as the new oil paints. I feel that oil paints have a special kind of warmth to them and that's why I'm somewhat saddened by the fact they're not widely used. I would hate it if the only reason was just because somebody convinced them it is reserved only for professional painters. Sure, oil paints are more expensive, smelly and take forever to dry. Yet, how can they reveal their magic to you unless you try them.  Now, about the outfit....

Ne mogu reći postoji određeni medij koji mi je kod slikanja najdraži. Međutim, ne mogu se složiti s onima koji kažu da su akrilne boje jednako dobre kao uljane, samo modernija verzija. Ništa nije kao uljane boje. Volim slikati i s jednima i drugima, ali očito postoji razlika. Ne kažem da su jedne bolje od drugih, za neke slike akrilne boje mogu biti i prikladnije. Nadalje, imam puno akrilnih slika koje su mi jako drage.

Možda je potreba da ovo napišem samo moja reakcija na to što se akrilne boje reklamiraju kao zamjena za uljane boje. Moje je mišljenje da uljane boje imaju posebnu toplinu i nekako mi je žao što ih ne koristi više ljudi i ne bih voljela da to bude zbog toga što ih je netko uvjerio da je to samo za profesionalne slikare. Istina, uljane boje su skuplje, smrdljive i treba im dugo da se osuše...ali ako ne pokušate, neće vam nikada otkriti svoju magiju...Sada što se tiče odjevne kombinacije.....

Despite the fact these photograph were taken only a few days ago, I have hard times recognizing myself. Do I really look this pale? Why does my head looks so small? At least I know what is wrong  with my eyes...it doesn't help that I have no make up on besides the lip-gloss but the main problems is that I'm as blind as a bat without sunglasses.  I have great eyesight, as long as the sun is not as strong as it was this day. Why do I always have to face the sun directly? Well, what the heck, at least my hair looks great. I'm publishing these photos.

The outfit is nothing special, beige with pink touches. I do like these pants a lot and have been wearing them regularly ever since I bough them. They're a size or even two big, but that makes them very comfy. Now, with all this bell bottom talk, I can finally look as if I'm actually following trends. What do you think about this outfit?...and congratulations if you had the patience to read all of this.

Unatoč tome što su ove fotografije uslikane prije svega nekoliko dana, jedva se prepoznajem. Izgledam li doista ovako blijedo? Zašto mi glava izgleda tako malo? Barem znam što ne valja s očima, ne pomaže to što nemam šminke, ali glavni je problem što ne vidim skoro ništa bez sunčanih naočala. Imam super vid, ali samo kada sunce nije jako kao što bijaše taj dan. Zašto uvijek moram gledati direktno prema suncu? No, barem mi kosa izgleda dobro, pa objavljujem ove fotografije.

Odjevna kombinacija nije ništa posebno, bež s primjesama roze. Jako su mi drage ove hlače i otkada sam ih kupila, stalno ih nosim. Velike su mi za broj ili dva, ali baš zbog toga su tako udobne. Sada kada su zvone ponovo u modi, konačno izgleda kao da pratim trendove. Što vi mislite o ovoj kombinaciji?...čestitam ako ste imali strpljenja sve pročitati.
