New Graphic with dark sky symphony

Yesterday sky was dark and blue, with lacerated dark-blue clouds aflared with the wind... I opened all windows on my 21-floor balcony and enjoyed that nature`s symphony.

It was a kind of such feeling turnes us to feel deeper so I started to paint. It was dark and I changed the place to the tea-table and made the new picture. The athmosphere of fire, teapot, tea and painting in ink technigue, and mistery clouds in the sky - everything was the reasons to paint the picture with monk-kamuso. This is Japanese Zen sect of mendicant monks trevels around Japan playing sakuhachi flute. (On the 1-st of septebber I was listening sakuhachi on a concert). A monk-kamuso tipically coveres his face with a basket:

In the middle of my work the picture seemed like that:

As I had finished with ink I felt this is something more in the picture. It was the deep storm sea with waves and wind, and colors of sun behind the clouds, So I deside to continue painting. I will publish the result tomorrow because I have to sleep. As a professor  I have to teach students tomorow early morning. Oh my god, I must go to bed and try to  sleep about 5 hours. It`s a pity because this is my favorite time to paint... :-/

 

My new work: Milky Way-I

I`ve just finished a new one graphics named "Milky Way-I". That time I clearly knew from the first minute what exectly it will be. This is graphic work A4 size (20 x 29 cm) on special paper for aquarel. Made by pencils Derwent, chhinese brush and ink, liners, charkoals and such tools as aqua-brushes. I like that tools and the way I can express my ideas.

And big size:

Later I plan to publish the process of creation so hopes you will be back.

My today art work: Maya (Illusion)

That work I started in Mu-Mu cafe, waiting my friends. It was started from one spiral only and when friends had come I interrupted drawing. But it was something in my mind dreames to be born. So today`s night I finished it.  Small size:

Big size:

Story: That picture I can read as a book. It represents an ancient Indian philosophy term "Illusion Maya". It means the special energy of god used to create for human possibility  of human passions, desires, expectations, selfish plans and events coused by such things. It is the theatre, the stage with actors and play. We want the play interesting and full of passions, and sometimes it capture us and we can live the same life with heroes. But it is the illusion, real illusion, true and bright - Illusion.

If you can have a look under Maya's covering energy you can see deep happiness, light and power of  existance. There, in silence, you can feel God.

I want to play Indian flute bansuri

Yesterday I saw several series of the great Indian epos "Mahabharata" and suddenly realized that somewhere deeply inside I am still dreaming about a flute. My experience with block-fluite was terrible, it was from plastic and I can`t feel it. Indian flute bansuri is from bamboo and today I have met the master, who make it here in Moscow. One of his bansuri in the picture:

I have found him by his blog http://bambooway-ru.livejournal.com  and found his way of understanding music, musical instruments and Zen right. I have visited his school Zentaku in one of tea houses of Moscow today morning. So I desided to apply for bansuri to him. As he said it needs a time to feel what bamboo matherial will be the best for that kind of flute. I want my bansuri small and dark as at the picture. Hopes I will receive it soon and try to learn it. 

Actually I want to have small musical instrument to carry it with me in adventurres. It will be the great  enjoyment to play flute on the seashore, to feel how music and sea sounds interlaces and how it connectes with moon and trees and my mood too. Hopes our winter - so long, too much long for me! - would be shorted with bansuri. I will try it by intuition and play improvisations. Anyway I listen music inside so it will be great to play it in reaity.
