Ice Climber

Here is a little story behind this painting: my brother, Jacek, is a rock/ice climber (yes, that's him in the picture!). I wanted to surprise him and paint one of his amazing pictures. As I was thinking about it, he came by and said: "Sis, I have a project for you. I want you to paint ME". Knowing his passion, I knew it definitely would not be a portrait...

I took it as a compliment ;)

Mural - Emma's room



Mural

Welcome to my niece's room. Emma (just turned one!) loves her new friends on the wall. She gets sooo excited every time she looks at the picture. And recently I let her "help" me painting.

Getting started

Wow! I have joined the world of painting. I could give a list of people whose "fault" it is. Starting with my Mom who, for years, has been telling me that I should start painting (she remembers my painting when I was just a kid); my brother, Jacek, who "just knows I can do it" and requests me to do a painting on the wall in his baby girl's room; my brother's wife, Dora, who took me to the art show; my friend, Don, who used to be an art teacher and who spent the whole evening telling me about art; and of course my husband, Arek, who after seeing my first painting ran to the store and bought me a pile of canvases, brushes, and paints.

Now I am addicted... I can't look at things the same as I used to. The trees, the clouds, the walls, even shoes!!!

I feel I have passed the point of no return...
