vintage Japanese art "Exotic Bird and Magnolia" by
I hope you will show the painting here when completed Vlada
Yes I have my preferences of them, this Plum Tulip being my favourite, but there is also a pretty yellow buttercup coloured one I think is also eye catching...I can so see why the Japanese loved to use them in their exquisite Inrō, netsuke, paintings, tapestries, furniture inlays, carvings etc. I get so inspired by their water colour painting style I would like to try to re-create it but with my own flare as well with the apple blossom & this plum magnolia photo so well see when I get to it....
I love Magnolias, thanks so much Vlada, there is a beauty near to where I live, the flowers look a little like candles as they burst open to the light
Here is the other magnolia tree species out frount its just opening up, I believe its called a plum lilliflora Magnolia,... lily as its got long slender petals not cup shaped like the tulip one..

These are 2x other photos of two other Magnolia trees out frount taken from last season, they arnt open yet this year yet.. but when they are I'll take new ones also.. I saw a beautiful pheasant out on the frount lawn of my neighbour this morning and I didn't have my damn phone on me before he flew off, that would have been an awesome photo..
Yes they are furry buds, this outer fuzzy shell drops off once the flower has opened fully.. there is another two varieties next to them that are just opening up now, so will take pics of them also and add them here..
Yes I saw the black lines in fine liner black, the buds are soft and look furry almost, the petals/flowers awash in subtle burgundy tones
Yes I could do the bleeding branch look with that with indian ink highlights..
I like the contrast between the branches and twigs and the flowers
So would make an awesome water colour painting, so its been added to the list along with the apple blossom pic..
The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament" or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.
A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...
