A snapshot of landscape in Northern Ireland

A snapshot of landscape in Northern Ireland #Landscape #Photography #NorthernIreland @GavinDuffy @AnneHug

Hi folks @PhotoChallenge class.. This week.. I took a snapshot of landscape located in Northern Ireland.. I was on the way back home and spotted interesting play of light and shadow (a kind of mist) so here it is.. a piece of rounded magic from the North. Cheers! Swav @paintingsbyswav (twitter)

This week @PhotoChallenge class is all about: Windows.

The windows of choice or possibilities.. The breeze of air in the morning or the mist in forest are the windows of perception.

My perception last week.. went through all the way down to Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare.

Enjoy folks and safe home!

Hi folks!

This week @PhotoChallenge class is all about: Structure.

The structure of things behind ordinary surface is always connected to an idea, inspiration within and plan of action. Some actions are visible based on to do list for example.. while other ones are hidden or invisible to our eyes. The structure of art which doesn’t seem to flow is awaiting internal realization or green light within the artist’s eureka moment. It’s not obvious and that’s why most of the art is multi dimensional, which allows the viewer to see his own reflection of life or.. the search within of something that wants to be seen and experienced.

Enjoy your weekend folks!

This week @PhotoChallenge class is all about: Corner

If you have not seen Ben’s picture of this week’s challenge.. It’s a must!

Interesting perspective of street {zebra} crossing, which is an area of road painted with broad white stripes, where vehicles must stop if pedestrians wish to cross.. but there is a place.. near the farmers market in Squamish, British Columbia.. where well known zebra is not a zebra anymore, It’s a rainbow street crossing 🙂 Have a look here.

My photo adventure today is connected to walking in Stradbally {the famous spot of Electric Picnic} and Sunshine, which is located in everyone’s heart.. as well as around the corner 🙂

Cheers folks!

Weekly photo challenge: Texture(S)

Weekly photo challenge: Textures #Sunday #Bloggies #bySwav ‏ @Annehug @GavinDuffy

This week @PhotoChallenge class is all about: Texture(S) The interpretation of Texture(s) are usually connected to physical things and objects, which we can see and touch.. but what if: The texture(s) can be found in music, the melody and structure behind a song? Every Sunday, I do my best to find the time for art and design, while listening to variety of music.. I pulled out some unusual vinyls…

This week @PhotoChallenge class is all about: Dense.

We can take as many views of dense as we can and still.. end up with more texture of dense feeling. Dense is the essence of zoom in factor. You can take one picture from the distance and then.. zoom in closer to get a feeling of close connection to nature or the shape of building for example. The logo of your company or the message you want to share with your audience. Heavy rain might be a dense feeling but also refreshing one.. All depend on the attitude towards experience, so:

Don’t dense yourself too much during the month of April.. because summer is on the way to Ireland.. I hope so!

This week @PhotoChallenge class is all about: Atop

Atop – reminds me of specific trip to Northern Ireland.. the first letter of this word is A and then top, which gives you specific direction towards the mountain of A itself.. Where, at the top of it you might enjoy the view and 360 degrees panorama.. especially, when all the fog sits down the bay.

Sometimes.. the journey is short while other time.. might take days, weeks or months for example, but the most important part of it – is enjoyment. If we don’t enjoy it, we might have to change the pace, the distance of every single move forward – or – the whole attitude towards the journey to Atop – if needed.

~ Enjoy your day!

This week @PhotoChallenge class = Against the Odds

Interestingly enough the theme of  “against the odds” works well with the previous one “shadow”.. because every step we take in life.. Towards a goal or something that make sense to me, to you or us as a whole.. is not a quick fix formula.

There’s no “shadow” without the source of “light”.. no “success” without the “failure”.. no “happy” moments without the “sad” ones. It’s just a play.. a play of life until we realize the true nature within or.. the real meaning of something that we are looking at, so..

Let’s clear out the vision and.. Stay creative folks!

***

Going back to the subject of “against the odds” while walking with the “shadows” of choice.. I’ve found the perfect match between the frame and clear matt varnish.

This week @PhotoChallenge class is all about: Repurpose.

This blog post is the picture of what might happen.. When you are open enough to try something new instead of the same attitude towards: painting for example.

Connection between the artist and painter {myself} with stylist {Betty} .. or any other type of expression, which perfectly fits into the voice of your heart, mindset, etc. is the door way of opportunity to wider collaboration within the field of expertise.. and multiplies its own creative power with every extra person on board.

Repurpose = It’s like an open window to inspiration within.

Keep well folks in February!

Hi there,

I’m writing this post and article to myself as.. a reminder, which might perhaps be valuable to you as well.

The chance to discover.. new ways, uplifting solutions, more balanced workplace, the job you are hunting for weeks or months.. The business you are about to start or enterprise, which is on the next level of development. The chance to discover is the moment of which we allow ourselves to expand.. physically, mentally and spiritually.

The change is always connected to some sort of discovery and probably: outside the box.. The usual route to work.. the standard way of thinking, acting or imagining.

***

Intuitive abilities – That’s right.. Intuition is like a tool, which you can use and improve upon within the very short period of time. One of the ways of improvement is painting and creation of art. Another way of improvement, which might be controversial to you is meditation.

Meditation as well as intuition can be described in many ways. Your life can become your meditation. Something that you don’t like might become your meditation as well, towards discovery of true motives behind it.

[from the notes]

*** Roughly 10 years ago, during the Tai-Chi class – I’ve heard something like that  ***

Let the cleaning and hovering be your meditation until you realize, which part of you is really against it. Who is the one that is always rushing.. Is it true you or something else? Do you really need this attitude, while at the deepest part of your own self.. pure flexibility, non judgement and spontaneity arise from the source of being.

The spirit of who you are loves to grow and change is the natural process of flow in life..

No change, no flow, no life, so..

Why not give yourself the chance to discover.. your own Sonata ?

The year is still fresh and open..

This week @PhotoChallenge class is all about: Ambience.

The journey of white magic in Ireland is most of the time on temporary basis only, which perfectly fits into the theme of #Ambience. As we all know.. snowy days in Ireland are very rare, but the thing is to capture the moment of magic before is gone and transferred into another realm of water existence.

Ambience is the atmosphere of one’s surrounding environment. It basically boils down to how one’s surroundings impact the human senses and alter the feelings of an individual. Things like light, temperature, smell, sound, and sometimes taste, all work together to create ambience. The term ambience usually refers to a positive atmosphere that uplifts a person’s mood. As an example, one might say, “Wow, this place has real ambience!”

Hi folks @PhotoChallenge class.. We’ve got an interesting word this week, which is: Relax.

When, I think about the meaning of {Re+Lax} snowy and rainy weather comes into my mind.. What’s the reason behind it? I don’t know.. Probably the sound of water, which flows or the magic of falling snow, which is an extra bonus in Ireland.. {Du+Ring winter}

I’m very curious about your {Cre+A+tive} interpretations..

~ Cheers from Ireland,

* This blog post is part of my @PhotoChallenge class @WordPress.com

I created this painting because.. a couple of things finally came to an end. At some stage of life.. We are going through the number of events, which are needed to understand ourselves better.

This time inspiration came from within and is showing interesting picture of crossroads.

When we look at life from the overall perspective we might see the planet earth from the distance of observer.. with many aspects of ouerselves as.. a different countries around the globe. The languages, cultures, migration.. Various type of lifestyle and habits as well.

We might see the movement or flow of chi.. as the change of weather for example.. The life force behind life itself.. The things connected or dis-connected.. co-creating and co-working with each other or not.. Something that works well for us and also the other side.. Some part of life which is broken or not needed any more.

There might be another aspect as well, which is an emergency and require immediate attention.

Something that needs to be healed, completed, fully recovered.. for you to move on in life.

You might have some other aspect of life in mind which is important to you at the moment… something that you really need to digest fully.. It might be connected to your personal or business story and.. Whatever it is.. It might be your own, private zoom in of consciousness for you to understand, to grasp it, feel it.. and make the nessesary change possible.

~ Enjoy your current chapter of life..
