IT HAPPENED! THE FIRST EVER EXHIBITION WITH ONE OF MY PAINTINGS AND 3 STUDIES WAS OPENED ON APRIL 3 IN MY HOMETOWN LIEPAJA IN LATVIA!
And this is near to how "we" looked right before The Moment! Sorry for the bad quality of the image, but this was the best that could be edited out of my daughter's snapshot under those circumstances :)
I had 3 guests there in addition to my daughter: my sister, my nephew, and one of my ex-MILs :) It felt good, although I didn't know most of the people in the room personally, as I am a complete newbie in the public studio the artists share twice a week. But it totally felt like everything was happening the way it was supposed to. Although, it's really hard to feel back into that moment, as this one is completely different: my body is fighting what's called a virus and a FM flair.
During the last week, a whole bunch of new images have started or continued to evolve under my hands. Most of them - pretty dark, although they don't present as sad or painful to "me". These could be the closest to being finished.
The last one is emerging in the Evening Studio, and it's a real challenge for me, as it's hard to know, what will want to be added to it, when me and my son leave the house and take the supplies with us.
An exception form the dark series is this painting on a 20x30 inch canvas, which emerged very quickly and spontaneously around midnight inspired by the sound of
this video. Interestingly enough, it doesn't let to depict it exactly as it is even with the perfect light. It is actually phthalo/sky blue and turquoise, and the white lines are more distinctive, but it doesn't look like this, no matter what I do, at least - not on this screen :)

So happy for you Rita! You are a great artist
CONGRATULATIONS on your first exhibition, Rita!!! Way to go!
Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing how your new work evolves :)
You have a really unique style and that makes you stand out. Keep working/playing/expressing :)
You know I love the work you do with the organic colours...earthtones are perfection in your hands...and the darkness just enables the light to shine forth :D
The blue canvas made me think of ripples expanding out from the centre of a pool of warm ocean...which is exactly what the opening of that vid made me think of too....(I find blues don't copy well to screen either) :D XXX
Congratulations! Your new pieces look great, too!
