“During this week Ewian discovered my Blog and Followed”
I went to visit his Blog to check it out and leave a thank you note for the follow! I was very happy to see that the Blog was about music, I love music! And lately honestly I can’t find around much of good music to listen. My favorite music has always been Rock, Post-Rock, Alternative, Dark and Experimental. I truly loved to listen to Ewian Music, beautiful voice and underground sounds I am fascinated! Ewian is an intense and kind soul with a unique and unusual name, reading his blog I found out that Ewian means “Water of life” isn’t it a beautiful meaning?
If you like this genres of music I suggest you to visit his Blog and watch his videos you will enjoy it!

I am looking forward to the new album I can’t wait to listen to it…

Watercolors from Nature…

Flowers from Nature
NATURE it is so precious!

Today I will share how I painted those beautiful flowers using some of the most vibrant and pigmented colors found in “Nature”. I always like to experiment new ways to use colors. This time I wasn’t thinking to paint anything, I had no plan and no preparation it was late evening, but…when creativity strike you can’t miss the moment!
Few days ago I got some amazing “Dragon fruit” or also known as “Pitaya” it is a delicious and refreshing Tropical fruit that grows on several Cactus species and has great Health Benefits

Dragon Fruit

This fruit has beautiful colors on the outside skin, and rich magenta pigments inside or white.

Dragonfruit nature watercolor
The juice is a strong dye and it is perfect for painting, I used my 140 lb watercolor paper sketch book
and Aqua flo water filled brushes.

Dragonfruit pink Flower copy
I then decided that I needed a touch of yellow to combine with the Magenta and paint more flowers.
For the yellow color I used another powerful natural pigment found in nature.  I used Turmeric powder.
tumeric 2
Turmeric it is a root spice used for cooking.  I wanted to try out Turmeric powder for painting from a long time.
The yellow color is very rich and beautiful, I mixed a dash of powder with water and I painted.

Turmeric Flower
I am happy with the experiment of using natural pigments and how this little painting turned out.
If you paint I suggest you to try!

Flowers from Nature
A great thanks to Mother Nature!

Your presence means a lot to me is encouraging to keep going on evolving and experimenting with my creativity. This portrait it is the #4 of this Collection, the title is “Blue Shadows” the color Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability.

50 Words Story…Golden Aura

Golden Aura

Golden Aura

The bright golden aura was  expanding through the darkness of clouds lighting up the sky. Unconscious awareness of an awakening soul was swimming through the thirst of truth. Climbing stairs of universal love, finding peace and happiness into a rising moon.

Today Featured is….

Some days are rubies, days of rose-tinted glass;
some days, like halcyons flown.
Some days are diamonds, rough cut and brilliant;
some days are harder than stone.

His poetry has recently appeared in Writers’ Forum Magazine, Black Poppy Review, Goodreads, Cafe Aphra, Wolf Publishing and an anthology or two. On daily walks through his forest surrounds, he often peers down rabbit holes.

Ryan writes beautifully and sometimes with great twists. Something that amazed me  when I discovered him was his writing ability, he can go beyond the ordinary there is one of his poems “Falling Up” that can be read from bottom to top and the poem has a surprising twist I suggest you to read it soon!  There are many great poems and more to read on his Blog, often accompanied with his beautiful Photography…I am sure that this will open your curiosity and enjoy a visit to his Blog!

Have a wonderful weekend you all!

A Story in 50 words – Deep Water

Malibu - Zuma

Deep Water

Surrounded by the blue deepest water. The reflections of floating emotions, loaded the mind and body in a fearless state. Tranquillity and silence flying through the broken branches of a life experience, were glowing under the warm sunlight.
Suddenly warm rain drops of happiness joined the deep water becoming one.

Don’t let it go out…U2 “Song For Someone”

ie-tourlogo

U2 are and have been my favorite band since I was teen ager.
I had once the privilege to attend one of their unforgettable concerts when I was in Italy they came to Naples my native City the Stadium was sold out it was a beautiful experience! I would love to see them again. But today I came across this beautiful song where  illustrator and photographer Matt Mahurin directs this visual meditation on ‘Song For Someone’, from U2’s latest album Songs of Innocence.

I love the lyrics beautiful words very healing inspiring a song for who need hope looking forward to the light…
I hope that you enjoy it! Don’t let it go out…
-CR

Here is the video posted from U2 Facebook I hope you can see it!

U2 “Song For Someone”

You’ve got a face not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from where I’ve been
You’ve got eyes that can see right through me
You’re not afraid of anything they’ve seen

I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
I don’t know how these cuts heal
But in you, I’ve found a right

If there is a light
You can always see
And there is a world
We can always be
If there is a dark
That we shouldn’t doubt
And there is a light
Don’t let it go out
And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone

You let me into a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You’re breaking into my imagination
Whatever’s in there is yours to take

I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
You were so long to heal
But this could be the night

If there is a light
You can always see
And there is a world
We can always be
If there is a dark
Within and without
And there is a light
Don’t let it go out
And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone

And I’m a long way
From your hill or cavalry
And I’m a long way
From where I was, where I need to be
If there is a light you can always see
And there is a world we can always be
If there is a kiss I stole from your mouth
And there is a light, don’t let it go out
Songwriters: CLAYTON, ADAM / EVANS, DAVE / HEWSON, PAUL DAVID / MULLEN, LARRY.
