... farewell to Hamburg..., I am about to move back Home, back to Greece. Back to stay!
I am neither happy, nor sad;
I am both happy, and sad;
I do not know, really
and
another thing I do not know is how exactly the way I feel affects my paintings and effects on them...
This is the last painting I am painting here, in Hamburg. Here where I actually started this blog 1.5 years ago!!
My next post will be sent into the ether from further south.
... farewell to Hamburg...[A.R.]
shades of blue...
seas of blue disrupted by white foamy lines...
it is a flag hiding between the lines,
it is the livelihood of a nation,
it is the pride of a seafaring's son mother!
...
it is a story that started long, long ago in the mist of ancient times,
a story bold and beautiful but also sad and true...
a story - history that charges the hearts of men, of those men calling it their own,
filling them with energy... begging for the right medium to be released!
the time shall come...[I.R.S.]
"Beauty
and truth are usually more charming unveiled!" was the beginning of the description of my other nude "Unveiled 80x30cm", and thinking for a title for this one the word unveilled ... made me think of the "dance of veils", made me think of Salome... Yet the historic anchor-point was not to my liking as well as the fact that while painting I thought of nothing the like... In the end it's just a dancer! This again made me think of Tina Turner's "private dancer"... I'm a mess, I feel awkward with nude, I guess, although they are beautiful!... Anyway, so, I present to you "The Dancer".[A.R.]
