My biggest inspiration

Who is my biggest inspiration?

It's not a famous artist, but my mom. I just dreamed of her love for colors and creativity. I remember how I admired her drawings when I was little. And later when she decided to paint her paintings. Our apartment was like a gallery:) She wanted to sell them, but she could not sell them, so we have them so far. I did not quite understand it now, every time I paint the artwork, I sit in front of it for a long moment and admire its admiringly. Every artist gives a big piece of himself to his paintings, and when it comes time to say good-bye, it's difficult.

My mom is a creative person, even though I do not think of myself. No more, I took a scepter. But I have the plan to bring it back again because I know that the soul of the artist is still living in it. She was painting in a time when she was not too happy to enjoy it, giving it the positive energy and the strength to go on.

Then we did not have the internet, google was an unknown term (incredible, however: D). Mom spied up a few pictures of the magazines she liked and then painted them out of the clippings. So far, I admire how they were able to paint them so perfectly in such a small format. She once painted the artwork from the picture, which was in the box.

Instead, I had a studio: D We had a big cellar and there was my kingdom. She painted the oil paint, which she diluted with turpentine oil. It was a good smell. Maybe that's why it was so out of hand: D had her own nirvana. (sorry mom). I can hear how much I want to acrylic paint and how much ... nothing is done!

I remember that whenever I sent to the compote's cellar, I had to catch something. I prefer to have a golden powder, which is, by the way, still getting to buy (the zest is called). I made star dust in the cellar and I was all gold and everything around.

In the flat where we were living it was otherwise quite fun. The neighbor was also artificially lined and so they were with mom's friends. 10 years later, I was admired by the girlfriend, and suddenly it was clear from my neighbour: D It touched me on the sale of pictures a little further than my mom.

Recently, it was a mother's day and I did not really appreciate it because it was never possible to talk about the emotions aloud. So, Mom, this is part of my thanks. If you ever thought about who brought me all this, you already know that. I looooove you and I have a vision in my head as we paint something together! I'm sure the turpentine and I do the other: D: D
