what are we all waiting for?

I just realized that this 3 paintings were a sequence after all…

Not only the confusing and colorful background, nor the ladies, nor the wooden floors.

They are all waiting or expecting something.

They are all envolved at a simple situation, but in deep thoughts.

When I paint I do not plan the image. It grows just before my eyes and hands, just like that.

And they tell me a story, later, that revails a lot about life [myself?]

That´s why it´s so much fun… it´s the inside out that makes sense.

Once upon a time…

quintal de minas

There was, once, this girl…

but she was more than one, she was many.

She could quietly observe the movements of life.

She could dream and realize beyond impossibilities.

She could could sit and play as an innocent child.

or she could close herself in to a distant, dark and cold yard, waiting for expiration of time.

[The gate is not locked.]

Life is full of possibilities.

Playday

playing  alone

It´s a funny thing, this thing of  being alone…  What an opportunity to meet ourselves.

In life, everything is a matter of choice.

If I have to choose something in life, happyness will be it.

Some days I play alone, but when you´ve got  friends, you are never REALLY alone.

Some  times I wish I could play more… then I remember:  living is the best game I will ever own.

Thank you Isa and Polly… who needs the easter bunny when you guys are around!

For my son

my son - always on my mind

my son - always on my mind

Suddenly, the whole wide universe is brought into this little person.

Feelings that cannot be explained by words and love have never been this clear and real.

Mathias, my son, for the past 16 years of my life have been  my great source of energy and joy. 

He inspires me and gives me motivation and reasons for all my efforts and hopes.

I hope you know that.

But even if you don´t know or understand,  I´m grateful for every single minute of your presence and everlasting light in my life.

You hide and play, you smile and are…that´s enough for all the wonderful colors you bring into my experience.

I love you, jeg elsker dig,  eu te amo. ❤

Painting and breathing

It´s hard to manage time
Sometimes I feel that it manages me more than anything else.
This painting tells a little about me
feels like waiting
going somewhere
am I early?
is it too late?
is this appropriate?
too much…and yet so little.
