Before My Coffee Gets Cold

Today marks my first blog entry. I can't contain my excitement to share my thoughts and if my interest in art could connect to those aspiring self-taught artists like me. My favorite medium is watercolor and gouache. Nowadays, I spend my time searching for an artist that I could mirror and take inspiration from.
When I saw Ms. Ekaterina Pytina's paintings, I was in awe.
The feelings it evokes in viewers are mystifying.

The soft mellow of the afternoon added to the feelings of the colors I saw and with thy silent thoughts of this poem.

Thy Silent Thoughts

Thy Silent Thoughts

So beautiful are thy silent thoughts
I would watch thine eyes all day.
There is wonder in them, as the sun's first flash
Through tumult of ocean spray;
In them the shining calm of upland pools
Mirrors the glory round,
And their shadows are the shadows of sweet flowers
Upon the summer ground.
So beautiful are thy silent thoughts
I would watch thine eyes all day;
More beauteous in their silence than the stars,
Than the silent stars, are they.

Below are my screenshots but you can also go to her YouTube page for real time videos.

It is a part of me...

"Artists are often seen as very emotional, sensitive, vulnerable, and honest people. They tend to be expressive, open, and expressive in their work. Most artists make art to express what they feel inside. Artists have many feelings, so it’s important for them to be able to express themselves through art." excerpts from https://brilliantio.com/how-do-artists-get-inspired/ Too many times, I give up art because of life's demands but no matter how I tried to ignore it, that little voice asking me to hold my pencil and brushes again, will always find its way to me. The spark started when I was young with my pencil and paper held in my hand. I waited frantically to watch my favorite anime shows so I could memorize their facial features, their oddly big eyes, and hairstyle and draw them on my school paper. 90's kids... I am sure if I'll mention one or two animes - you've definitely watched them back in the day. Aside from Ghost Fighter, Doraemon, Flame of R...
