a poem to the divine


you painted me new, with the color of spring,
blossom,
you created in me new forms,better then the old ones,
beautiful forms
to light my day with beauty,
with true joy
your delightful being in my heart
as one not two
and yet i write this poem
with the Ecstasy of unity
love energy flowing from inside out
and ''i'' step aside
letting it flow freely
no intervention
and here in the silence
you reveal with your eternal never changing compassion
the way to be , the secret of life
that is open to all

jacques brel ,


translation to his song quand on n'A QUE L'amour,meaning when we have only love,

when one only has love translation by :(anne-marie de grazie) when one only has
love as a give and take
at the dawn of the great journey
of this our great love
when one only has love
my love, you and i
to make burst with joy
every hour of every day

when one only has love
to live up to our promises
without any other riches
then to believe in it always

when one only has love
to furnish the marvelous
and cover with light
the blight of the suburbs

when one only has love as a sole purpose as a sole song and sole recourse

when one only has love
to cloth at dawn
the poor and the criminal
in mantles of velvet

when one only has love
to offer in prayer
for the suffering world
as a modest minstrel

when one only has love
to give to those
whose only fight is to search for day light

when one only has love
to trace a path
and force fate at every crossroad

when one only has love
to speak to cannons
and only a song to change the mind of a drum

then without having nothing but the strength to love we shell hold in our hands my friends,the entire world.

the drawing is a study of mine , after michelangelo

in reality


the fear of the past has been transformed into a deep honest trust in the present moment in the reality of love .in reality the one and only reality there is no fear. in the present moment there is only love , that is the only reality.
evolution of conciseness occurs beyond time , in the present moment , eternal present moment ,and yet every moment in fresh and completely new, and absolutely free from past or future that are in fact not reality at all, in our mind we use to think and see time as linear , meaning moving forward with sequential character , but that is not reality at all. it is a mistake that can be seen clearly when one go deeper then only the surface of being.then it is seen clearly that in reality , the one and only universal reality the divine created reality , every moment is fresh new, with out continuation with past moment or future moment.and it is one , and when one learns to live according to this ''law'' of nature , then there is wholeness and no suffering. for in reality there is no suffering.the divine ,the wisdom, does not create suffering .

in gratitude for the old masters,


hi there dear readers, i would like to share with you the gratitude in my heart for the old masters , i learned so much from painting and drawings some studies in my studio, so great teachers , when you make a study after Michelangelo for example, you really being able to feel deeper the old master intentions in the painting and learn from it. part of my development as an artist was and is making a lot of study drawing and paintings in my studio after the old masters, the intention is not so much to just copy a picture , but rather learning with humility of an eternal student, that say every day anew,i do not know anything , and i am willing to learn , with the eyes of a child , fresh new every day , a new beginning, this is the gift that art is given you , always fresh new things to learn , and learning from the old masters , being inspired, and yet going your own way in art , your authentic way that develops naturally ,
the study is in pastel , done in my studio, after Michelangelo, the Delphic sibyl , the Sistine chapel

drawing and painting tutorial lesson no1



hi there everyone ,dear ones, in this post i would like to share some art tutorial for those of you who are painting, drawing, struggling? well i hope you will find this lesson useful and some tips , i will do my best,
so first thing i would like to point to ,is the main important in accurate drawing what you see, is not so much a matter of techniques ,but rather a matter of observation, this is the secret .this is what is all about and the most important thing in drawing and painting accurately,and what i mean by that is it is learning how to look and where to look that make all the difference, from years of experience i learned that you need to look not at the contour of the elements ,that is common mistake of many beginners , you need to focus you attention at the form as a whole ,to see the form together as one piece, and not as linear contour . so this is the first tip and it need a little exercises.the second thing is to focus your attention always on the light , also when you paint the shadow ,the focus is always on the light .that make you coordinate with how things are in nature itself . and in nature only light exist really , the shadow is only a reflection.a result of the light , so light always comes first,it is primary, this is another common mistake to focus sometimes in the light and sometimes in the shadows , and that create disharmony.so the focus of attention and observation should always be at the light in the middle of the form and not in the contours,

another thing that is important to practice is to see as mach the big masses and less the details at the beginning of the drawing or painting and to build the painting from the main masses to gradually the smaller forms and smaller
another tip is ;go to nature , nature is a great teacher for artist ,and the mature way is not to be attach to much to the result ,but rather focus on the learning itself,and another thing is when you paint try not to bring any past knowledge to your new painting , no wards , no past, no need for that , for true learning is always new in this clean moment ,the mistake i saw of many of my student was painting what they think they know about the object Rather then painting from true observation in the moment,and this is what is the most important in visual art to my opinion is to develop that true observation , the way i teach my student all the exercises i developed is pointing to that ,to learn to look , to learn to observe and to translate this into your painting ,observe things as they truly are is what it is all about , and when you develop a skill for that then there is no translation even,there is pure flowing of truth to the painting . and truth and beauty is one and the same.i will post soon lesson no2 the drawing is after Leonardo a study ,and the other drawing is pastel a horse study.
