Bright to be

May all this feeling rightly shine

Through all the dots

Kindly bright.. to be

So kind

That I am pleasing to us all

With common heart slightly torn

May all this feeling be as just

As growth unruly couldn’t last

The base was awful

So was I

Forgive me, please

Heart Divine.

Guide me

Through the limits

Trust me through the stars

Until now and ever.

Bright.

May the dots become?

Please?

Colour combinations

It’s been around Easter when we played around with my daughter with painting plates, melting bee’s wax and dropping shadows on different textures. We enjoyed it all and making different arrangements with different colour combinations. It was a playful and joyful time together.

I feel my internal batteries are a bit discharged today as the week days were long and intense but I hope you will find the photographs energizing and inspiring. Can you spot a bunny in the last photo?

Till next time.

Have a nice weekend!

What do we do to talk more: painting and phone/ Co robimy by rozmawia膰 wi臋cej: malowanie i telefon?

Gratitude for time to talk and create

One of the things that I do with my daughter is painting. She is 6 at the moment and loves creative expression. To talk about colours, mixing and cleaning brushes covered with oil paints, we sat down at our dining table, lied down a huge white canvas and painted together with old dry and new brushes, wooden blocks and all available fingers and tools at hand. After the session at the table, we hang the painting, took a photo and edited the screenshot in a photo app on my phone using available filters and tools erasing parts of the photo, smudging it or camouflaging some elements of the photo. Talking while creating is very natural to us so we were able to create a nice conversational flow focused on filling up the empty canvas. Try this too and show us your creations. 馃檪

Jedn膮 z rzeczy, kt贸re robi臋 z moj膮 c贸rk膮, jest malowanie. W tej chwili ma 6 lat i uwielbia tw贸rcz膮 ekspresj臋. Aby porozmawia膰 o kolorze, mieszaniu, czyszczeniu p臋dzli z farby olejnej w zesz艂y pi膮tek usiad艂y艣my przy stole w jadalni, roz艂o偶y艂y艣my ogromne bia艂e p艂贸tno i pomalowa艂y艣my je razem u偶ywaj膮膰 starych i nowych p臋dzli, drewnianymi klock贸 i wszystkimi narz臋dziami, kt贸re mie艂y艣my pod r臋k膮. Po sesji przy stole powiesi艂y艣my obraz, zrobi艂y艣my zdj臋cie i edytowa艂y艣my zrzut ekranu w aplikacji fotograficznej w telefonie za pomoc膮 dost臋pnych filtr贸w i narz臋dzi wymazuj膮cych cz臋艣ci zdj臋cia, rozmazuj膮cych je lub kamufluj膮cych r贸偶ne elementy zdj臋cia. Rozmowa podczas tworzenia jest dla nas bardzo naturalna, wi臋c uda艂o nam si臋 stworzy膰 przyjemny przep艂yw konwersacyjny skoncentrowany na wype艂nieniu pustego p艂贸tna. Gor膮co polecam wszystkim.

Zach臋cam do eksperyment贸w i poka偶cie nam swoje prace!

Pozdrawiamy,

Alicja Pyszka-Franceschini i c贸rka Gabi
