I have no intention of pretending to be an art critic but I do visit exhibitions when I have a chance. After visiting this exhibition I decided to google this painter and read a little bit about him. One of the art critic said that this exhibition (and the paintings you have the opportunity to see) is of confessional character and doesn't try to communicate with the viewer, whatever that meant. I'm not sure I have understood what this art critic was trying to say. However, what I really liked is what the painter has said himself and I quote him :  " If the painting doesn't have the research element in itself, it is in danger of stagnating. The creative force must come in the open, and in some kind of desire, but also in the explosion of colours and characters, a new exhibition has been born..."   Well, that was nicely said, wouldn't you agree? As for my personal impressions, I liked these paintings so much that I had to take photos of them. Sometimes carryin...

Finally one outfit of the day post. It had been sunny and cold day today, so cold in fact that it is hard to remember that technically speaking it is still autumn and winter officially starts in two weeks. Autumn or winter, I favour pretty much the same things as the last year...Long coats I have always loved and that is probably what I most look forward about winter. I really like how flare jeans and long coats look together (almost as much as I like how flare jeans and pointy shoes look together). Leather and fur plus beanies are just my way of keeping warm, I would probably wear all of these even if they were not the it items. Red and black had been my colour choice for the day. Something about this outfit reminded me bit of the 70ties but I'm not quite sure what it is...Finally, what is most important to me---I really was warm enough to enjoy this beautiful autumn day. Danas sam nosila ono što inače volim nositi kada malo zazimi, a to su dugi kaputi i zvo...

  Can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this walk by the river (cold as it was). The fact that you can see landscape like this in urban setting (i.e. Mostar city), always fascinated me. On other note, I ended up pretty disappointed once I had transferred the photographs from my cam to laptop. The colours were not what I have hoped they would be nor have I managed to capture the magic of the winter sunset. Obviously I still have a lot to learn about photography. Only the photographs of the river (i.e. Neretva) were what I wanted them to be, but I'm sharing only a few, because really I have taken so much of them on this little walk. Ne mogu vam reći koliko sam uživala u ovoj šetnji uz Neretvu, koliko god da je bilo hladno. Uvijek me zadivljuje ovaj pogled na divnu prirodu praktički u gradu. Sa druge strane, bila sam razočarana kada sam prebacila fotografije sa fotoaparata na laptop. Boje nisu ispale onakvima kakvima sam se nadala da bi mogle ispasti i ...

I do understand what Rena said about Christmas coming too soon. It was only today that I have finished my advent wealth and the first candle lighting was due last Sunday. Christmas will be here in no time! Anyhow, I have decided to use the last year advent wealth. I've just bought new candles (white) and added some new decorations in it ( plus silver spray and little touches like that). Stvarno razumijem što je Rena rekla o prebrzom dolasku Božića. Tek sam danas završila svoj advenski vijenac, a paljenje svijeća (to jest prve svijeće) je bilo prošlu nedjelju. Božić će ovdje biti za čas! Kakogod, odlučila sam iskoristiti prošlogodišnji vijenac. Samo sam kupila nove svijeće (bijele) i stavila ih na postolja, pa malo posprejala sa srebrnim sprejem i dodala neke decoracije.   After decorating process was over, the advent wealth still looked a little dull to me, so I have decided to draw little Christmas three on the candles. This is how it turned out. Nakon tih sitn...
