Jimmy Lawlor \ Touching the elements, feel the winds ...

I brought you a sea of ​​palms.
True, it is a little riotous and surreal, but what do we have now normal? ))

Touching the elements, feel the winds,
In weightlessness on tiptoe in dance to fly,
Passing through the palm of clear copper
From the celestial magic palette ...

Die for a moment and rise again,
And to see how the sun slides on the waves,
Giving up its heat to the yellow unsteady sands,
So that later in the horizon disappear ...

Filled with the harmony of sunny songs,
Having awakened the heavens with a slight waving of the wing,
With a white-winged seagull, I suddenly came alive -
A world without a sea to sad presen ...

Aromathe sweet mother.

Miller, who singled out 25 types of odors from roses and established that the typical "pink" smell is only red and pink Variety. Yellow and white roses often smell of iris, nasturtium, violet, lemon, etc. The smell of the rose depends on the content and composition of the essential oil.

Oh, regal, as you are good,
In the sunshine, at sunset,
I behold you in the morning dawn,
The dew of the teardrops froze in the foliage.

You are so divine, beautiful and gentle,
You are charming and people are so needed,
Your stem is thin, graceful,
The bud is purple, you are given nature.

Great is the creator, this world created,
And the beauty of you unearthly endowing.

Vasily Yarmin: the best gift for a women's holiday

Apparently, born on the most feminine day of the year - March 8 - Vasily Yarmin had no other chance: only to serve women. The best half of humanity has always been very attracted to the beautiful. Therefore, Vasily Yarmin had no special choice.

If you return to a serious conversation, then such masters in the technique of cold batik, like Yarmin, today in the world of art are few. Looking at his work at all it's hard to believe that this is a painting on the fabric. Here on the glass - yes, the wave is possible. The subjects are fascinating, the colors are balanced and organic, and the details are filigree. All, without exception, work is done on natural silk. In modern art, batik is more accustomed to seeing blurred and surrealistic pictures. Vasily Yarmin has a true gift to perceive the beauty of the surrounding world: wild flowers, ordinary houses, ordinary people.

The artist was born in Pyatigorsk, in the distant 1961. He received a professional education - graduated from the faculty of artistic graphics of the Kuban State University. He specialized in drawing techniques, watercolors, batik, and floristic painting. All of them were useful to him in his creative career. Since 1995 Vasily Yarmin is a member of the Russian Union of Designers of Russia. He is a regular participant of various exhibitions, his works are exhibited in the world's largest salons. In 2009 he was recognized as the best baticist of the South of Russia, but it is unclear who deserves similar knowledge in the north, east and west. Especially considering the fact that now Vasily Yarmin lives in the capital of Ukraine - the city of Kiev.

Gregory Frank Harris about women in the background of landscapes

In this person from birth, two talents have suddenly become organically born: musical and picturesque. Gregory Frank Harris at first did not think at all that there should be only one. With the same inspiration, he wrote lyrics and acrylics. And he sculpted his first sculpture in five years, and at eight he learned to play the piano - himself, just by ear, gamma and solfeggio was not trained.

Perhaps the music and the fine arts were always destined to get along together, but one day Gregory Frank Harris's eyes caught the pictures of French impressionists, and the choice was predetermined. However, this style is attracted by most American artists of the second half of the last century. They are even called the classics of Russian painting. But Gregory Frank Harris stands out among them. Only thanks to the subject of the image.

Looking at his pictures, you start to doubt - who, or what, on them is more important, people or landscape? Then you notice a clear tendency: people on his canvas are always women. And not posing, but working, hurrying, focused, busy with an important matter. And the landscape, whatever one may say, is a secondary phenomenon. What's more interesting - almost all of his canvases are created on the plain, which is very convenient for recreating the shades of nature, but it is unacceptable for a girl passing by. Despite the oddity, it is worth noting that Gregory Frank Harris all managed equally well.
