“Extraordinary Homes”
Short, but extremely attractive BBC series: a funny actress and a renown architect get the keys of perhaps the most impressive houses on the planet.I must say, some of them are pretty bizarre, others are a true dream. anyway, visiting these amazing places was such a refreshing experience. the whole episodes are no longer available on Youtube, but here is a sneak peek:

what is RSS and why you should use it
as it recently became clear, new times are coming for the most used social network and it is likely that the small business with small advertising budgets will become completely invisible. thus and because I am often told: “I liked many of your paintings, but almost everything was sold”, I decided to invest some effort and write this post, which can be useful to the people who are not very familiar with the advantages of this technology. there is a very effective way to receive the new information from my website and my blog immediately and not depend on the facebook content.

A new year – new beginnings
Sooo… a new year, as a blank canvas. What will I paint on it? Who knows? I did not have space to write a post about 2017 (because the last 4 days I bravely ventured in studio repairs), but it was a good year. Saturated. With good and not-so-good days. With precious inner work, with journeys, with learning to say ‘no’, with almost all paintings completed, with wisdom earned the hard way, with a string of minor but adorable moments, with shared ‘ordinary magic’ as a friend named them. I feel grateful for all of them.if there was something I learned during the last years, it was that I could…
