After the morning post I've done some thinking and decided to discipline myself with certain voluntary limitations. Most of all I love to make abstract paintings and my favorite format is 50x70cm (19.7"x27.6"). So, for this year I would try to constrain myself only to abstracts and mainly on board in above mentioned dimensions. Occasionally I would still make some work on paper.

Also, I decided to stick with my other blog SiLaArtAuctions and continue my work on small paintings with a few changes. I will make small boards with birds the whole year.

I think if I succeed with this limitations for 365 days I will learn and profit from that.

"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline."
2 Timothy 1:7

I really wish I could paint only on one medium and in one style, but it seems to me that my style is diversity. I jump from one subject to another, from birds to animals, abstracts, expressionism, to figurative, from paper and canvas to panel...from few inches to few tens of inches...
I don't know what I am going to do with myself?! :)))

Maybe I can make it this year?
God knows :) and I have to find out.

I love classical music and Handel's Hallelujah is my favorite. I turn on speakers on loud and dance and our dogs are comfortably lying on the floor while decibels streaming down the speakers :o

First day of a new year and I feel little bit nostalgic.

Today's painting is my tribute to old village house in the snow.
It was made with painting knife on paper.
