Usually I use social media as kind of diary, posting things after they are being made. But this picture is good and actual for me now: 2023, 37x47cm, acrylic on paper.

Dialog in green. 2025, 30x40 cm, watercolor.
Painting with fewer colors, less shapes - it´s like trying to speak out only most important words. Sometimes I do say and paint too much at once and lose thread in overload.

Unplanned story in watercolor and ink - 10x15 cm. I have no idea yet what´s going on there - simply followed shapes of color spots.
Not thinking could be good ... for artists only :)

Watercolor paint that´s called "magic wizard" - how can it get any better? :) All those fine colors hues are from one tube! I was so fascinated by it that I don´t know what is she holding - baby or may be a vase? 21x15cm

Wetlands. 30x40 cm (12x16"), watercolor on cotton paper.
I bought Rockwell paints set with an intention to participate in their competition "Wetland" but I was too late. Still feel happy about it: wetness of moorland, plenty of life around it.
