Never take more than you can handle, I always say. Well, so I keep telling myself whenever I'd misplace my wisdom and absentmindedly take on a project simply because it interests me. Obviously, Curiosity prefers to ignore that small voice in my head and I usually end up with work piling on top of my table. :)
As you all know, I have a second blog where I often post about things that inspire me, and mostly art that leaves me green with envy. Unfortunately, given the "condition" I'm in right now, I find it hard to manage two blogs and at the same time finish all the projects that I'm stuck with, thanks to Mr. Curiosity. So for the time being, I will be posting them right here along with my other ramblings. Hope you're still game!
Meanwhile, here is another piece for Benny Arnas' book...
Sesungguhnya Dia Sangat Cemas, 2011, mixed mediums
Also, I have a little free gift for all of you, something to help you keep your book collection from wandering away and disappearing into someone else' library.
If you're interested, just download the file directly through this link. All you have to do is print it and fill in the blank with your name. Of course, you're welcome to spread the love and give the file to friends and family, as long as it stays free. :)
Enjoy!
Amalia, oxx
¡Cuánta paz y serenidad! Y un poco de melancolía... Bello.

I love the moon picture... it is absoultely gorgeous... but then I am a bit partial to the old girl. I know exactly what you mean about the small voice... curiousity can be a bit loud sometimes... :-)
ReplyDeletewould love a copy of your book plate. My granddaughter will love it...
ReplyDeleteHis art does not stop surprising me.
ReplyDeleteCenter of simplicity lies the beauty .. the poet.
Only the fact to come by and admired so much beauty is already a great gift.
I hope you're well and happy my sweet friend.

Her hair flows so beautifully just like the waves, and it's as luminous and magical as the moon!
ReplyDeleteI tend to end up with a bunch of projects piling up on my desk too, but the thrill of something new is difficult to resist sometimes :)
Thanks for your reply! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd do you paint with watercolours?
Beautiful as always Amalia. I hope you are feeling a little better. (((Hugs)))
ReplyDeleteI like your world, you can create very special climates in your image. I see that sos a sensitive and intelligent artist. Congratulations for your blog, I promise to visit you again.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! Good for you to focus on one blog, listen to your body and your little bundle inside(O:
ReplyDeleteYour new piece is so luminous and peaceful! :) ~Lauren
ReplyDeleteVery sweet and beautiful illustration, Amalia. I always wonder how you manage to maintain two blogs while still illustrating and taking care of your family:) Take it easy, Amal:) xoxo
ReplyDeleteHey there dudette :) That's the new phrase since Willy got married the other night, did you know? (Willy= the guy twice removed from the english throne)
ReplyDeleteOh enough sillyness. Heh. Let's get serious. You know that the early Australian explorers all used paper boats? Serious! Wood was so expensive here that they even made all their furniture from paper... of course you weren't meant to sit on it, especially if you were fat...
Okay enough blahhing,,,,,
Seroiusly, your sense of dynamic composition is humming in this one, those curves add that serenity, the glow of the moon, all balanced with the reverse curves of the eyelids and the wonderful left to right flow to get us onto the next page, to hurry us along, yet also 'wait awhile and tarry and observe the beauty"
ahh so a self portrait :)
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThis piece is dreamy beautiful! Ummm
and your book plate is lovely as can be, so generous of you.
Two blogs can take a lot of time!
I am sending a warm smile to you.
Hello, MYLA Amalia! "Myla" is the Bulgarian word for "dear" and it sounds so much better when I'm using it for you!:) You must spread your energy and strength to so many places, but I believe you won't lose your directions!...
ReplyDeleteThe illustration is so calming and shining with a mild light! The book is going to be a treasure for its readers, I'm sure! I see that you draw with pleasure and inspiration and there's nothing better than that!
Thanks for the beautiful gift you are so generous to give us!:) I'll stick it to some of my most precious books!
Kisses!!
hey thanks for the bookplate
ReplyDeleteyou are very kind as well as being wwonderfully talented :)
now don't get a big head!
Never before have I been so mesmerized while gazing at the moon! Oh, Amalia, this is heavenly! Such beautiful, feminine softness in all the gentle curves. She is glowing, much as I imagine you are too. :) I love this! And the bookplates are wonderful!!! Aww, thank you for those!
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well, Miss Lovely!
Very beautiful and ethereal. Love your sense of light, it's very glowing.
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! The moon is splendid!
ReplyDeleteYou are so incredibly talented. Your work sometimes seems very pop-surrealism to me, which is my favorite. Your artwork is truly inspirational...hope I can become as awesome as you one day.
ReplyDeleteI love the gentleness of your new piece! The moon has such a gorgeous expression...
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful illustration! So dreamy. Thank you for the wonderful gift! I downloaded them to my computer. Enjoy the weekend! Theresa
ReplyDeleteoh well, taking on too much, too many ideas swirling around in our heads - thats the price of a creative mind i'm beginning to realise. your painting is dreamy, tranquil but there is a hidden depth that makes you wonder what else is beneath the surface.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful place this is.
ReplyDeletei'm following for sure
in my little boat.

Happy Mother’s day Amalia. Blessings, peace and joy :o)
ReplyDeleteYour artwork is absolutely beautiful! Like something out of a storybook.
