SUMMER NEWS - Croatian Artist Lidija Ivanek (SiLa)

Somehow the period during the Summer became ours (my hubby and me) time to work on modifications and upgrading our web site. This year was not different for that matter, with a hope that there will be no future drastic changes.

Unifying photos and pictures, news and sales in one place, has always been my goal. As it came to the realization and integration of different directions in my inner creativity, so now the inner change became visible in my on-line identity, the web site.

I will not continue to keep a blog on Blogger, because now all that will be at one address  www.silaart.com.

The communication with you, my faithful beneficiaries of art, our companions in adventure trips, will still be active, because you can easily make a comment on each post after a simple registration.

It was a hot summer day, 35 C hot, and we could hardly wait for cool of the night. I started painting around midnight.
My painting is a visual representation of a sense of relief after a hot summer day.
Cool, like a snow.

I never cease to be an artist. While we are on the beach, I find shapes in the rocks, in twisted tree, or colors of light. Filled with the impressions I arrived home yesterday after a wonderful trip to the mountains and the sea.

I closed my eyes and said a little prayer: Please God, teach me to look through my spiritual eyes. And I started to draw with a piece of charcoal on a paper. Line after line. Strangely it felt and I wanted to peep, so I stuck to drawing lines for a couple of seconds, then I looked and it was a road to the mountains and it needed just a few more lines and some pine trees and it was finished.

Dinara (1830m) is highest Croatian mountain and summit. Its name is related to Dinara mountain (massif), Dinara group and Dinara summit. Dinara became the symbol for the longest mountain chain on Balkans and gave it its name, The Dinaric Alps, that is stretching from Slovenia, over Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Monte Negro and ends in Albania.
Dinara mountain is huge massif on the border between Croatia (Dalmatia) and Bosnia Herzegovina, around 100km long, stretching from NW towards SE.
Despite being relatively close to the Adriatic sea (60km) climate of Dinara is harsh with lot of snow in winter. But the most dangerous factor is Bura wind. With mighty force it brings bitter coldness and unbearable wind-chill effect. Temperatures can drop to -30°C. Summer on Dinara is hot. There is not much forest to shade you from the sun. Knin, town at the foothills of Dinara is hottest in Croatia. Temperatures easily reach 40°C. But, while the day is hot, even in summer temperatures can easily drop to freezing level during the night. Dinara is formed of limestone and is really the kingdom of karst, below and above the surface. There is not a single water flow on the mountain as thirsty karst terrain swallows it all. Inside the mountain are huge water reservoirs. This water emerges on the surface at the foothills of the mountain in form of strong sources which eject whole rivers at once. ...

Today I uploaded the Rocks On The Mountain picture to FAA.

A difficult time for artists :)
I am hearing that phrase since my childhood, that is to say that it is never easy to live by creativity, be self-employed and dependent on the changeable market and whimsy trends.
How are you handling such times?
My study of the Rock (Jesus Christ) and the rocks, mountains etc. still continues.
One is a necessity for my spirit and my sanity and the other is for the visual beauty.
To know what the beauty is, the one and the other must go hand in hand.
