♥ In love ♥

Monday blog post #12

It looks like the weather is getting nicer and nicer here in Doha, so I went to the beach on Friday to paint. I thought I will be alone there  but the beach was full and some brave or crazy people were swimming in the sea??? I was wearing long sleeves and my flip flops :)
One man approached me, he is a doctor but likes to paint. That is his hobby. He kept coming to see how the painting is coming and at one point he brought me some metal thing he found in a sand, it was a metal label for a bikini and suggested me to use it to be able to paint straight line. I was really grateful for that it helped me a lot :) and I will also use it to glue it on a painting because it goes perfect with it.
This is the painting I was making, it's still not finished but I'm really happy how it looks like so far.


My idea is to make prints and Valentine's cards with this illustration. I will finish it this week and post the final result on Monday blog post #13.

This week I finally finished big order for brooches and delivered them even 2 weeks earlier than we agreed on so the customer was really happy!

New opportunities in 2013

Monday blog post #9

2013 is almost here!!!!

I wish you all Happy Happy New Year full of new opportunities!!!


The year 2012 for me was full of unexpected things and when I look back it was not that nice year because of my father's death but I can't say only bad things happened, I had lots of nice moments too for which I'm really grateful.

I'm grateful for my husband's love and support so I can do what I love.

I'm grateful for my family and for my nephew who was born on this day 1 year ago.

Happy Birthday my dearest Filip!!!

I'm grateful for getting chance to have 3 exhibitions with my paintings and 16 sale events (bazaars, fairs, markets) in 2012 where people from Qatar had an opportunity to meet me and to have a close look at my work.

I'm grateful for having friends from all around the world.

 I'm grateful for all the artists who inspired me trough the year with their beautiful paintings.

This year I did card swap with some of them and I already got cards from 4  talented artists. I'm so so happy and will keep them forever!

Magaly from Puerto Rico 
Magaly even sent me her original work :) wow!  I love love her childish and whimsical paintings!
Thank you a lot Magaly!
