My new art

I am a little busy with some issues, but I will pop-in, in a day or two, to tell you what is new.
Here are my newest art-Decos:

"Myths, gods and creatures"


"Moon goddess"



"What is Perfection?"
(for me Perfection is, obviously, Nature)

Music of dreams

I had a very peacefull and romantic weekend indoors, with a lot of rain hitting the open windows. Unfortunatelly, I did not make any little deco-creation, because my inspiration is... somewhere... I am waiting it to come back. :)

I wish you all a great start of the week tomorrow and I leave you with something beautiful beyond words: Beethoven`s "Moonlight Sonata" reorchestrated by James Last - one of my very favourite pieces of all times.

I have no patience anymore!...

On july 15 will be the world premiere of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", the 6th movie of the serie that I am so much in love with. Stupid Warner Bros left us wait too much for this movie and I have already hex them for this.

So... 3 days left. Three freakin` days... untill I will see the whole 153 minutes of the film.

A darker book than any in the series thus far with a level of sophistication belying its genre, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince moves, I think, the series into murkier waters and marks the arrival of Rowling onto the adult literary scene. While she has long been praised for her cleverness and wit, the strength of Book 6 lies in her subtle development of key characters, as well as her carefully nuanced depiction of a community at war. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, no one and nothing is safe, including preconceived notions of good and evil and of right and wrong.

The film is long, however, as usual, not long enough to cover the book which is a genius` creation, like all the others from the serie. But it will surely be saved by the great directing of David Yates and the play of so many great british actors: Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, Helena Bonham-Carter, Dame Maggie Smith...

After Harry`s initiation in Lord Voldemort`s past, the climax will start with the entry of the Death Eaters in Hogwarts and will end with Severus Snape killing Albus Dumbledore with an Avada Kedavra curse. It is the most deep and twisted psychological moment, which marks some dramatic changes. It is like an end of an era... EVERYTHING will change. Resistance is useless.

Pictures from a Dark Fairytale - art Deco


It is not a very good scan and, as usual, almost nothing of the painted-effects is not visible, but... here it is, my own begining of the dark fairytale.

Song


duran duran ordinary world


"Ordinary World"

Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive

Full Moon

My life is everything you want... sometimes a beast, sometimes a flower... and I am constant in my madness of living it instead of watching it passing by... I AM MAD, mad with the madness of mandrake and absynthe, the wildest, most luxurious madness in the world!



That was Serenade in D Minor by Schubert.

World Wide Fairies ATCs



I made these yesterday, for a swap. I have chosen my fairies from the world of Froud, my very favourite fairy-world. :)
