    A handshake and a smile

    A Handshake And A Smile Today, my secret diary was particularly cheerful. A handshake and a smile from an unexpected person sparked an inspiration that flowed into the painting I made in a few minutes.Without planning anything, without thinking, on impulse. Madly loving every moment I used water, color, brush. Enjoying the process, and not caring about the result. In the second photo, my secret diary.Don’t be surprised that small images can create great emotions.   Multum In Parvo I am water and watercolor. And I love the sea. #Sketching #Watercolor Facebook Twitter Youtube

They are like this painting,one of those that I look at and look at again with pleasure.   Instagram Post here

    Monochrome

    The challenge of monochrome The monochrome, always captivating to me, regardless of the color used. It’s challenging because it’s not just the absence of color. I am fortunate to have considerable experience in old black and white photography, as well as film development, practically managing every step from capturing the shot to printing on paper, as we used to say. And then, the subject.Essential. Minimal. Concentrated. Here’s another subject I’d like to explore.It doesn’t happen often around here, but when it does, on the sea, one morning, I saw it more or less like this, just a stone’s throw from home.
