Scattered Strawberry Summer

When I look at his works, I feel like I should really start painting again. Just purely for my own enjoyment.

I'd like to share with you amazing photographs by Viktorija Vaisvilaite Skirutiene, an award winning photographer

Simple yet magical pictures which makes me want to grab my camera and go out to hunt for a good picture. But it's very cold so I'd rather drink hot tea & admire her pictures

I thought I'll introduce you to an amazing artist who you're probably not aware of - Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis.  He's my favourite Lithuanian artist. I love the range of colours he used and the world he created in his paintings.


Extract from Wikipedia:
Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (Polish: Mikołaj Konstanty Czurlanis), also known as M. K. Čiurlionis (22 September [O.S. 10 September] 1875 –10 April [O.S. 28 March] 1911) was a Lithuanian painter and composer. Čiurlionis contributed to symbolism and art nouveau and was representative of the fin de siècle epoch. During his short life he composed about 250 pieces of music and created about 300 paintings. <...> Čiurlionis was a musical prodigy: he could play by ear at age three and could sight-read music freely by age seven.<...> Čiurlionis felt that he was a synesthete; that is, he perceived colors and music simultaneously. Many of his paintings bear the names of musical pieces:sonatas, fugues, and preludes.

More paintings can be found here. As I said before, he was also a composer, search for him on youtube, there are plenty of his works on there.
