a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

Inari (a painting/slika) Painting of Inari/ Slika Inari Oil paints on paper/ Uljane boje na papiru I don't always paint on canvas. Sometimes I'm feeling inspired and obviously the art shop isn't open at midnight so I just grab whatever comes in handy ( a piece of wood, paper, cardboard... whatever) because paintings sometimes have a life of their own and are very impatient to come into this world. They don't care if I have time or energy, they want to come to life  as soon as possible.  There is no  correlation between this painting and the outfit but I'm posting them together because it is convenient for me to do so, it gives me an illusion of having some kind of rhythm in my blog's life.  As for the painting itself, it represent Inari . Usually I'm inspired by Slavic mythology, but this time it's Japanese mythology. Inari is the only character from it that I've attempted to draw or paint so far, but I've been coming ba...

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 tak...

  Outshined by an adorable duck family once again and I don't mind it at all. Are those guy cute or what? Naturally I had to take numerous photographs of them and completely forget about making a decent outfit post. Still, who could blame me? Još jednom me zasjenila preslatka pačja obitelj i uopće mi ne smeta. Zar nisu preslatki? Naravno morala sam ih uslikati puno puno puta i posve zaboraviti na pošteno slikanje za blog. No, tko bi me otkrivio?

Hello! In this post you can see the work in process of making an oil painting. This painting was painted back when I was self-thought and still figuring things out. If you're visiting this blog for the first time, I'm an art and fashion blogger. I have been blogging about my art journey for a long time. If you browse my blog, you'll find thousands of original paintings. Island Hvar in Croatia is often the inspiration for my paintings. This church I painted here is located in Stari Grad on island Hvar.  MORE LINKS TO POSTS ABOUT STARI GRAD TOWN   -ADVENT IN STARI GRAD: TWO OUTFIT PROPOSALS   - STARI GRAD IN AUTUMN: WHAT TO WEAR FOR SIGHT SEEING? - VISIT STARI GRAD ON ISLAND HVAR WITH ME -  INSIDE OF A RENAISSANCE VILLA OF PETAR HEKTOROVIC - VISIT BAY MASLINICA NEAR STARI GRAD WITH ME -  BEAUTIFUL BEACHES NEAR ARKADA HOTEL STARI GRAD -  I WEAR MY PAINTING (STARI GRAD) - VISIT STARI GRAD PLAIN -  STARI GRAD ON A SUNNY AUTUMN DAY  -  A NEU...
