Phases of Water and Me

WATER VESI

SNOW&ice LUMI&jää

The theme of this week end´s DC ( drawing challenge ) is a tricky and yet fascinating one for me: 

Metamorphosis

Somehow I begun to think about water and its different forms. During the seasons of the year I am able to see and feel them all. I love to see the whiteness of snow in different shades as well as the grey, blue, green and even pink color the sea gets during the short but bright and wonderful summer. 

I am also thinking of the vital importance of clean water and the sea and ocean areas. See this:( and this:)

Well, after a while I found myself playing with the metamorphosis of me myself:) There are some photos and self portraits, which show that I feel I am in the process of metamorphosis all the time!

(Another Transformation:  Frida )

My DC is - once again - without any drawings nor is my interpret quite according to the title..

Lovely Ariane  is our host this week; see her beautiful blog Rose for more of the theme and participants. The 'drawings' are shown on the blogs of the participants

and the host links to them all

January goes BW

 

While photographing some of my latest paintings, I tried how it all looks black and white 

( plus a glimpse of sepia ) and here we go!

Oh, this time of year with bright, cold, sunny days, fluffy white snow and blue sky fills me with joy and energy.

Have a wonderful week end!

Winter

It has been very cold but so beautiful. I love the increasing light and whiteness.

White Christmas

 

We did get a wonderful, white Christmas: it is so beautiful!
It was nice to have family round the table having dinner and playing games.
Hope you are having a joyful Holiday as well!

Hei sit tammikuu

 

 

 

bye bye January

Valkoisempaa

Whiter.. and what a bright, beautiful winter day with some food of the season:
BLINIs!

A small pancake, of Russian origin, made from buckwheat flour; traditionally served with melted butter, sour cream and caviar or smoked salmon

instead of salmon or caviar you can have onions, capers or olives:)

have a wonderful Sunday

..ja vaikka tämä ei siis ruokablogi olekaan, on pakko jakaa blinivinkki: mädin ja kalan voi korvata oliiveilla ja kapriksilla.. punasipulia unohtamatta:)

Aurinkoista talvisunnuntaita toivotellen

Fine Day
