SPRING AS INSPIRATION

2015-03-20T19:05:00.000+01:00

Spring is for me the best part of year. As nature get colours my inspiration become coloured too. Somehow I feel like singing inside my mind. If I could sing nice, probably I will sing all the time , not only inside me, but loud ! This days I work much more than usually.

My paintings come out fast and with bright colors what make me happy. Even some small things which I am preparing only for sell as souvenirs I do with great pleasure . Spring is my inspiration because of nice weather. Everything around me blowing up in thousand different colors.
I like this part of year very much. There are many reasons for it. Seems to me that problems become smaller and we smile to each other more.
Every day I walk near the sea with my dog . The sea is also different , calm and clear, full of sunshine . Spring will come for some hours , but for several days I feel music inside my mind and such a strange happiness , which is not easy to explain.Definitely spring is my inspiration and I am going to paint right now.

Nature as Part of Life

2014-12-03T17:36:00.000+01:00

I like nature and when I have chance I walk and watch around me. Nature is beautiful if nobody touch it.
Sadly people like to change everything. They cut off trees without any reason. Or better to say someone have
some selfish reason to do it. They build not even nice houses , garages or so and simply do not care what is
on their way. I watch it every day in my town .

If I can do something than I will but no way. I have my own nature at my balcony and around my house

in small place surrounded with sea . With my flowers I find peace of mind and inspiration too.

DOGO ARGENTINO - MY INCREDIBLE DOG

2014-12-02T20:25:00.000+01:00

This dog is with us one and half year till now. He is big, white and pinkie around his mouth and on the feats. We got him as a puppy. Small , skinny , softly and warm ...

From very first days in our home

He caught our hearts immediately. Our previous late female dog pass away only seven days before he came.She was dark , he opposite. When he make me a bit tired I used to cry out; Zipa was blessed dog ! And I mean it. But he is here and nothing else to do except love him as much as it's possible.

Trust me it's easy to love our pets. They love us much more than we can even imagine. Their love is without any fence. Every time I walked in the home he wait me first , with happiness, waving his tail, sniffing me, and bags as well. Immediately I feel good.
As puppy he was gentle with other dogs which we met outside. Dogo Argentino breed I have first time and I learn about him by the way. Not every dog who we met was friendly. My dog never forget them!!! So now I got in some kind of trouble almost daily. He is big and strong. And somehow he knew it. Cause of it I am fit. Dogo Argentino is incredible dog , but not for everybody.
All my life I have dog or two dogs and one cat. Mostly big dogs, but two of them wasn't big.So I have experiance with different kinds of dogs.Every one was on his own. Special.

Bonzo as grown up sleep at his back

Dogo Argentino -Bonzo and Cane Corso-Rika

They like to run and play together. Yin and yang or black & white world , as my friend and me , used to call them. Rika is Bonzo's best friend. Between them is only few months difference. Black dog is female . And daughter of my previous dog, beloved Zipa. I was midwife for Rika. We walk with them almost every day near sea and we are all happy together.

To be continue.... because I have much more to tell you abouth this incredible dog!

Rainy Day

2012-10-16T17:55:00.000+02:00

Long part of day was rainy. After several more or less very dry months it was nice to watch how rain dance falling down. Not nice to be outside because for only few minutes one is completely wet. Doesn't matter for umbrella. Rain was falling as I never see before.One moment from nowhere started strong heavy drops of rain and next half hour was impossible to drive car or cross the street. Than abruptly stopped for ten or twenty minutes and start again. This time slowly, almost gentle it falling for next hour . I was sure rain would give over when again heavy drops knocked to my umbrella. My shoes , shoulders, my beck was wet in the moment...

I was happy to sit in the bank office quite long time , just between two heavy rain drops . When I was finished there outside was dark. I was walking slowly , watching around me , snapped some photos with my mobile and thinking ....
Everything is different than before some years . Not easy to live anymore.We have to swim somehow in the river of life . In some countries one is rich if have house , but not here !
Next rain started when I was near my door and I watched from time to time outside without any will to be on the street and wet again. I hope tomorrow
will be again nice sunny day.

Visitors From the World

2012-09-20T18:31:00.000+02:00

I just check out visitors of my site as I usually do. So I found out that there are from all around world. Anyhow readers from some countries are there every time I open my blog. Thank you dear readers ! I am very sorry to not write as often as I wrote before. I was sure how nobody care...Maybe some of visitors know me personally. I am not sure. I have on my site - " follow this blog " and there are some numbers of followers, but visitors are much, much more. Several thousand in the matter of fact.

Obviously some people read this and I have to write I think. Many years ago I red book " Twist of Tale " . Nice book ! From there I learned how twist of tale is possible in the moment. Maybe visitors of my site till tomorrow will be twice than today. We will see.

My Dog Cane Corso

2012-06-18T14:16:00.000+02:00

I already wrote about my family pet but now I have special occasion. My beloved dog will be Mom
a few months from now. I hope so. It's not easy at all. I must go with her to vet and than will be what will
be . Now she is six years old. Till now my Cane Corso wasn't Mom . I try to find some nice dog for her

but she refused . I want to keep for myself one puppy and one I' give to my brother. At moment this
breed is very popular here. They are very expensive but I like to know where everyone will live. Of

course that I need money as all of us but never mind. My dog is always near me as guard and protector.

It's hard to snapped some good photo of her because she is too close all the time .

Cheaters Are Everywhere

2012-03-14T17:38:00.000+01:00

I must write this what happen to me last two weeks or so... I will start from begening . First of all I must tell you about kind of miracle which happen and about some cheaters who tried hard to cheat me.
It was right before Christmas. Somehow I run out of money and I felt very bad becouse of it. Than miracle happen and I was able to go in the shopping center and brought all what I needed for Christmas Eve. In the same time I received e-mail from two different man . They both wanted to buy my oil Paintings. I was so happy !
All my problems disappear immediately. It was like sunshine after many gray days . But in few next days I find out that they want to cheat me for money. One give up but other one not. .Anyhow he is cheater and I wrote him that I hope he would not bother me any more and at least he stopped . So be carelul because cheaters are everywhere.

My Painting As Present To Dear Friend

2012-02-28T17:40:00.000+01:00

I am not sure how other painters work , but I know how it is with me. First of all I must be in good condition.Of course it mean that I feel very good , that I have enough money , that I already pay my bills etc.
If something bother me , no way to touch colours . My paintings are always made with good vibrations and everybody can feel it when they watch it on my walls at home. Here I have no more place to hung them up , but never mind. I like to give my painting as a present to people I like. Right now I will give one to my dear girl friend with great pleasure. She just fix up walls at her home and one big paintings will make place much more warm than empty wall. Anyhow, according my mind when you received something or give , is the same pleasure. Last days i fight with bureaucracy to receive my papers and I feel like ping- pong ball between two institution . Worst of all is that every day of fight cost me my nerve. It make me angry for one or two hours daily. I am not sure how long it will be but I am tired . When I got it I will celebrate and I 'll make several
new paintings I am sure. So this moment I am going outside with my dog , and I'll carry my paintings to give it as present to my dear friend.

One More Year Is At The End

2011-11-25T18:24:00.001+01:00

One more year of our life will finish soon. Time run out faster and faster seems to me. And so many things to do still.We have always to do something. I think it never end . Even if you are young or older there are some daily things which we make at home and other too. I like to finish as much as I can but every day something new come up so impossible to say that nothing more to do. I have always to do something !
For example right now I have ti hurry with this writing because next is waiting for me. I must go to buy something , after that walk out with my dog, than make something to eat and than dishes....

I must find out this days what to buy for presents to my family members . And do many things before Christmas time come around the corner.

Ready To Give Up

2011-05-20T21:57:00.000+02:00

Today I am ready to give up everything. Am I kidding? I look so tired and I am tired . I write this and next moment I asking myself what's happen with me ? Really!
In my entire life I was in many different situation . I was kneeling but I stand up again somehow ! But now!?!
I am ready to give up. Obviously I changed or I am fed up of fight with hard time . In the corner of my mind, in other hand, I know that I 'll fight or I'd die first .In my life I never give up , even if I know very well that I'd lost more than achieve. Must be something wrong with me...

Nothing hurt you more than words used to hurt. Especially words from your beloved family number . My family are not large one . We are only few of us and all my love is open for them any time . I can do everything what is possible or even impossible for them and I never give up. What to do when hard time last longer than usually ? How to get it over when I walk one step, but next day it turn me two steps back . I know that I am more nervous than usually. Anyhow I am sure that am not going to give up. Tomorrow is new day !

Spring Is Here Again

2011-04-15T17:01:00.000+02:00

Spring is here again with nice sunny days and some kind of happiness. I feel much better or more optimistic than in the winter time. Like even air smell somehow different , nature is awaking up and life look easier. Seems to me that spring swap away our problems or just make it less important . I struggle with money all the times and especially when weather is dark from morning my all inspiration fly away from me. If I look out from my window and weather is fine I feel like I can do everything ... Usually I start with new Paintings and finished some of unfinished and make a lot of other jobs.
I am very happy because spring is here again ! Today is so nice outside and I hope something good must happen I feel it . I need so little for happiness ...

Long time I didn' t publish anything simple because I was not enough optimistic and all what I wrote and red it I save as draft . Not that many people read this but anyway I like to keep my bad time for myself and share with you only good feelings . I hope you can understand me. I wish you all to enjoy in the spring as much as me !

Happy Time , Christmas Time

2010-12-20T15:11:00.000+01:00

Happy Time , Christmas Time
This year December come faster than I expected . Few days ago when my son started to search for Christmas things I suddenly remember last Christmas. Seems to me that it was around the corner...So fast time fly ! My late mother used to say how life is very short. Time run day after day, year after year and one day you hardly recognize your face in the mirror. From there stare on you one different , older face , with many wrinkles around eyes, new ones...
Christmas time is usually happy time for all Christians. Of course if they have enough money and a little luck to be with beloved ones that days.I hope that everyone will be happy this days , me too.The other day I sit in front of television watching Africa' s people and their happiness with rain which come. They are so happy with rain ! How it is in life ?! Somebody need just rain but in other hand somebody is never content with much more .

I wish to everybody Merry Christmas deeply from my heart !

Everything Will Be Fine , You'll See...

2010-10-19T18:17:00.002+02:00

            Everything will be fine, you'll see...
   I already wrote this blog but it disappeared. Only title was published. I have to write again but it will be different because I write directly from my mind , not from paper. This situation is same with telephone numbers which we kept in our mobile. If we lost our mobile or something else happen, we loose numbers too. All my friends have already problems with telephone numbers which they kept only in the mob. phone and me as well.What is worst we do the same again. This is something what can make you feel bad when it's happen.
        Life used to be very difficult when problems follow each other in waves. Than we are unhappy and seems to us that bad time last much longer than good time. It's not truth ! I imagine life as an circle.It's move round and round. After bad time must come good time.
       Poor people think that reach ones have not problems at all.No way ! Their problems are maybe different but everybody have better and worst time in life.Many times I woke up expecting one ordinary day but it turn as extraordinary ! We must hope , smile and keep optimism high ! Everything will be fine, you'll see !

Summertime is Usually Happy Time

2010-06-19T19:42:00.000+02:00

Summertime is usually happy time for me and I think not only for me because of several reasons. First of all in my area weather is just best for this time of year. One can walk slowly near the sea as long as wish or swim in very clean azure blue sea. In the summer , school year is finish and children are free almost three months . Most of workers like to have their vocations during summer too.
My country, or better to say my town is full of tourists from all the world and they are very colorful . One can heard many different languages every few steps. They shooting photos , buying souvenirs , watching around... I like to see them . It's interesting that any time at street some of them asking me for way or something else . Even if I don't know how to explain what they need I try to do it somehow.

In the summer people look happier . Maybe because of sunny or light clothes . I feel good in this time of year and daily problems are less heavy than in the winter. I like summer !

Everywhere in the town you can see interesting performances from strangers and from our children or grown ones . Also music is on the every corner . During summertime my town breathe on some special way .

Great Surprise

2010-05-16T23:01:00.000+02:00

Last few days my son was busy with our comp every time when I wanted to surf. So I let it be . Today I started with some other things and than I just wanted to write something. At my great surprise I find out several more followers I got! Really great surprise to me. I have many followers at Facebook and Twitter as well but not very much at my blog. Seems to me like people are not interesting in reading nothing more than two sentences and that 's it . Maybe I have wrong . By the way I was sure that when I mention my blogs few times , not need to repeat it constantly.
Anyhow I write my blogs with own pleasure but followers keep you going on . I am very thankful to every one who follow my sites. I know that every topic is not interesting for everybody and we all have less and less time to spent in front of comp.
We forget how nice is to slow down even from time to time ! When I walk on the street people are in hurry like crazy. Nobody walk slowly as it was before normally , when you go outside with children or with your dog. I keep thinking where they hurry? Why ? If they come one or five minutes earlier at their destination what will happen ? I like to walk and I like to walk from leg to leg , enjoying to look around me , to take glaze at sky , trees , houses and faces ... Walking and thinking is great . On this way I get inspiration for my Paintings too. Every night I walk around with my dog. It become kind of ritual and I like it very much.

If I have heavy day I am happy that it's over and I say to myself : tomorrow is a new day, new happiness... So my dear try to slow down walking around for hour or more and you'll feel much better than before. Just try it. Nothing to pay for it . And don't forget to keep smiling !

SEA IN MY HEART

2010-04-28T18:05:00.000+02:00

       I live at Adriatic coast . I love Sea . Above is one of my Paintings . Several years ago when I was far away from seaside I make this one Paintings. I call it - Nostalgia - because I miss the sea around me. In my town I can see the Sea any time even from my home window. I walk with my dog near the Sea when is rainy day , sunny , windy , at night time too. Every time Sea is nice , different , colorful and inspiration for me.
    Walking and watching the Sea I used to think of so many different topics . I like night time walk much more than daily. At night is quietly and there are nights that me and my dog are alone near the sea. My dog like the sea as much as me I think.
Many of my Paintings I make on my mind first , walking slowly , watching waves , moon light , sky... I remember one story which happen many years ago in Bruxelles capital of Belgium. One very dear woman liked my Paintings and she often visited me in my home there. I liked her too. From time to time I was homesick. It was one of that occasion and I described her beauty of sunshine at sea and invited her to spent holidays in my house near the sea.At my great surprise she told me that it's not for her , because she doesn't like sea at all. I couldn't believe my own ears ! Till that time I was sure how everyone like to walk near sea , to look beauty of different blue colors between sky and sea ....

For me only nature is perfect . I like sunny days more than rainy days. Spring and summer I prefer than autumn and winter but it's nice to have all four seasons . Sea is beautiful always and for me special as I wrote before I love sea.

Sitting , Thinking , Art , Limits ...

2010-04-15T16:00:00.000+02:00

    This moment I'm not sure which title to write because I feel that topic will change . It's same with my Paintings. Many times I started with one idea and during work change absolutely everything. I don't like limits and in any kind of Art there are no limits. Of course that luck of money can forced you to buy smaller canvas , but it's not reason for limits.
    I intended in one discussion about limits in abstract art. According my mind people limited themselves where they need limits (money , drink , smoke etc. ) and where limits are not necessary at all . Art is Art , because one must be talented and headstrong to live as artist and for art . I know many artists who give up fight and become Professor for Art with regular monthly payment. They decided to limited themselves . Are they happy with that kind of life or not that's the question.
   We are all different . Somebody can give up their own dreams , hopes and wishes . Life is not easy. My mother used to tell me during my growing how life is daily fight . I didn't understand why because as child problems are quite different and Mom or Dad would solved it for you . Many years later I find out that my mother was right.
   I think that everybody have something what make us different from each other. I have brother. He is few years older than me. We grown up in same condition , same parents , same primary school we intended , anyway , we have nothing in common.... I have two grown sons and they are also very different persons. For example : one is very pedant , other not ... My older son love drums , younger prefer guitar to play. They have different character too.

During my life I've contacted many people. Some of them limited themselves in every possible way and when I met them I usually say just hello kept my way. Nothing to speak about with them . Also I met open minded people with whom I have talked about many topics .

According my mind life have plenty limits and some limits must be , but Art can't be limited ! If somebody think different than please explain to me . Anyhow I think like this .

Easter Eggs On My Way

2010-03-23T04:18:00.000+01:00

Every year I used to make plenty unique Easter eggs. Some of them I give as present to my family, friends and my children friends.They are always different from year to year, even I used not same type of colours. Anyhow that eggs could last for many years because I first empty them. Next I fix that hole and started with colours. It must dry and I decorated it. For make children happy I paint funny faces or all short story on it.There are rabbits , chickens ,butterfly , flowers , trees ... Of course I have other coloured Easter eggs which we eat when we knock them with each other. That ones I did with healthy colours .

Easter is soon and this time I will decorated them again on my own way. I don't know how many I make till this Easter but surely hundred or more and never two was the same. I snapped pictures of eggs which was not so nice to give it as present ( according my mind) so it remain in my home. Wishing you all happy Easter!Bless you evermore! Sannitta

Night in Museums

2010-03-12T16:29:00.000+01:00

In my town ones at year there are "Night in Museums" when you can visit every Museum, Gallery and Exhibitions for free during one o'clock at night. Many citizens come out from their homes that night. It was about two weeks ago and weather was cold but nice.I am sure for many it was first time to visit some of Museums. Parents with their children, youth and oldest were passing by me... Somebody was in hurry because they wanted to go from Gallery to Museum but more than three they couldn't visit anyway. Some our Museums are in the center of a town , others are not.I met many faces which I hardly meet somewhere else. We will meet probably next year at " Night in Museum".

I am involved in art all my life and Gallery's, Exhibitions & Museums are part of my life and I like from time to time visit all this in my town... I find interesting every time something. Of course, when I travel for me is normally to visit as much as it is possible from Museums there.But not for other people! I find out that there are persons who never were in the Theater in their own town ! Not in any Museums ! Never seen any Exhibitions ! Even price for tickets are symbolical and it's not because of price I'm sure , but maybe not habits or...?

It's nice idea for this "Night in Museums" and I wish it more than once at year ! I remember many smile faces that night . Beauty is beauty and where is so nice for eyes and soul than in the such a places.

2010-03-12T14:16:00.000+01:00

Today I decided to give my dog one egg. I heard that it is good for dogs and from time to time I do it. So I pick up one fresh egg from my fridge. I knock egg as I usually do but nothing happen.Can you imagine what I find out ? This never happen before to me ! Frozen egg! Immediately I check my fridge and other food inside but everything seems normally. Even other eggs was not frozen. I slow down a little bit fridge and snap some photos of this frozen egg. That's it . I like to show you photos but I have some problems with it.When I find out how to do it I 'll do.It's really something to see frozen egg
.

Why You Should Care For Others

2010-02-21T22:57:00.000+01:00

The world we are living is a shared world. We share resources that we need for our life. No one can live alone. We need each other very much. God made us to live and grow together. We will be happier and fulfilled if we can throw our self centered thoughts.
If we choose a win-win approach for every situation we face, and get whatever we want by not using others, we can live a better life. The success of others makes us more successful.
Let us take an example of doing business. This principle applies there highly. First of all, try everything you can to see a satisfied customer. Help them in whatever way you can. Even if you can not solve their problems, show them that you care for them. This is called building positive relationship. People love the one who loves and cares for them. This is a win-win approach which results in success for both parties; your customers and your business.
You can take whatever part of your life, work, family, social life... everything. You will be more successful if you only help others to be successful. By success what I mean here is not about financial success only. Rather I mean all rounded success.
There are people who have millions of dollars and do not own happiness, satisfaction, personal character, positive influence on others. I do not consider this as success. Money is not the only thing we need in life.

However, the definition of success here is that of the all rounded one; with personal character, happiness and satisfaction, financial freedom, in general achievement of goals. You only get this only through a win-win approach. Help others to succeed and you will be successful. That is why you should care for others. By Hanna Shiferaw

Christmas

2009-12-16T16:50:00.000+01:00

Christmas is almost here. I can't believe how fast it come for me every year. Maybe I have so many work to do and time fly away too fast ... First of all I want to clean up my house and discard all unnecessary and too old things . For example shoes are not worn , newspapers and magazines , old clothes etc... When I finish this what take days , than come up question about Christmas tree ; natural or not , new one or from last year, decoration with some new pieces or all in one colour ...When my boys was younger my biggest problem was to hide presents from them before I put it under the tree. Even then it was always some days before Christmas and they tried to found out what was in the boxes. They usually asked me if they can see only one present . There were many funny moments with presents. Sometimes I make big box for small toy in it and wrap it very well.They remember all life happiness of childhood . Me too ! I think everybody remember childhood as best time in life , because there are somebody who keep you safe and happy . Not only at Christmas we are extremely happy but Christmas is full of happiness for all Christians . Especially for children ' s perception ! In recent years people are trying to make happy children without parents and poor children in the world what is nice ! Our duty is to make children as happy as it is possible ! Marry Christmas to everyone!!!

2009-12-03T16:29:00.000+01:00

Shopping,shopping,shopping....In this month, last one in the year,everybody look happy and everyone carry several shopping bags in their hands.They greeted you with smile passing by. Seems like all problems are gone and everybody have enough money for presents!Even children are speaking of going with Mom shopping.It's normally because advertisements are everywhere around us.I like to see the smiling faces, but not only in December.Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think so.Is reason for happiness shopping or the end of year, or something else ? Who know !Keep smiling dear people !
