Mystic Dolphin: panno in batik technigue

It is spring, the end of April. Cold, sunny, windy, cloudy, reiny and cold, cold, cold... My internal calendar scream that cold weather should be finished. So I imagine several decorative soft panno in batik and mixed technigues.

All cells of my body and soul need warm, grass and more then all - gentle touch of a sea. I found rest, peace and consolation in sea colors.

What is the essence of a sea? Waves, soft passage of colors, undulate lines. I sense it by skin and paint it and feel it in silence of mind.

Have you ever seen how change colors of sea near a seashore? Deep blue color of waves becames blue-green, emerald, then green, and at one moment you could openmind it as shadows of yellow, shadows of sun and sand.

I feel it as soft energy of endearment and love penetrates layers of sea water, and layers of our bodies and soul. Our blood has elements of a sea. We could open it deeply inside in what place soever. Just close you eyes and try to feel it.

What was the worst job you've ever had?

The worst job you've ever had was financier and documental keepeer of my family business. It is absolutely against my artist`s nature, but I had no choice and did it many years sucessfully.
The result was I earned money. And then I stopped it until the job killed the best in nature god bless me.
However the experience was helpful and save me many times. So I think even if we receive the worst god make it the best for our future if we do it carefully.

What would your perfect day look like?

My perfect working day is is I do everything and a bit more. It consist of several parts. In perfect day I would do my morning exercise (includes 1 hour of yoga) without lazyness. Then I would do everything of my work just in time, vith pleasure and interest, in a shipshape manner. I would like to have a walk between 2 parts of work and forget about laziness towards exercise, stratching body against
tiredness...
My perfect free day would start in sunrise. I would like to run to the seashore and see as the sun colores everything. Then I would like to dance, and sweem. I would like to have an orange juice and swim in the sea more,far away with flippers along rocks. To sleep deeply in the afternoon, and to meet friends in everning. To see as moon rises over the sea and it`s reflections in the water... to listen music and dance. And in night I would like to see stars shimmering in deep dark sky. I don`t want to sleep that night.

Students during exam: Professor`s Report

This is the practice of American courts to invite an artist to make pictures. Speciality of artist`s view is attention to small details. Yesterday I tried such practice and found it really fresh and fun. Here it is several sketches from the exam.

When students take their questions we, members of exam committee, have about an hour to check documents, chatting or do nothing.

I invest that time as perfect as I could... I suppose :) .

From time to time students draw teaches (mainly unloved ones).Here it is may be the first time professor made pictures of student.

You could see a courage in the eyes... a kind of courage.

:) :) :)

Hard day`s night

Today it was the Government final exams for managers. It was hard work fo me, to be in committee, check students works etc. I started the day at 6:45 AM after not more then 4 hours of sleeping. And come back home at 6:30 PM. It was a lot of activity therefore i didn`t pay attention about the lunch. A cupped hands of nuts, 5 grapes and 2 caps of juice was my capture and then i come back home and fall asleep... awaked at night and found my e-mail full or student`s works and have to check it for tomorrow... Ahhhhh!..
I am really exhausted now. So one funny thing of today i will publish tomorrow... i hope. Lord, help teachers during exams. And glory for 8-hours sleeping!

Hot Report: Anomalistic weather in Moscow

Today, 25 of Apryl i was a witness of anomalistic weather. That year in Moscow we have ordinary weather: about +10-15 C degree, green grass and leafs. Today it was an ordinary morning with clouds and sun and breeze wind. Everything had changed in 5 minutes. Deep dark clouds covered all sky, then it began gray and then sharp snow mixed with snow flakes started. From my window 22 floor i could see the great panorama of nature disaster.

About 20 minutes it was catchy wind and snow flowed in horizontal direction. I had hardly opened the window and made next picture:

After 25 minutes of storm it stopped. Pretty sun came and shy everything, all things was magically cleaned and i saw lovely picture of pure cheerful trees, roads, cars. So beautiful and exciting!

It seems as if the world was blessed and cheered for us! :) :) :)

My work

Night time is the best to make some sketches about the life.

This is the hot period in institute`s life. Students prepares to exams and graduation. As the Head of management department i have to check many things: texts of graduation works etc. I am so tired of it! Sometimes i feel myself crazy about such work but it is the disadvantage of teacher`s life. I try to be patient, tolerant and enjoy my karma as well.

Anna`s new tools

Everyone knows how important are tools for professionals. I have a deep passion to try and use new tools, and especially love tools for painting. Today it is two kind of brushes. Congratulate me with such new experience! :) One is the brush for calligraphy with ink container by Pentel. Today I try it first time and found it interesting and fun.

The end of ink brush is unexpectedly dry. Even if I squeeze the conteiner hard ink flows too slowly. Then the brush forms ink lines in not smoth mode. This is the special thing of such tools, i suppose.

Five persons and Sunday

That Sunday, yesterday, my dear friends came to me and I thought it would be not bad idea to teach them how to dye fabrics. They brought several t-shirts to sacrificed it to such experiment.





Girls seemed like heroes because it was the first time they did it. With all courage we bathed the t-shirt in colors with 4 hands. I joked, t-shirt seemed to be fainted therefore not to hinder us.





We worked hard and won!





One of t-shirts was in grass green color; our fingers and nails too.

From my previous experiences all my clothes was sluiced by colors. Therefore I choose for myself an ugly orange+green+black-something blouse and I planed to drop it at the rest of the day. But girls acted carefully and no one drop of color touched my blouse (it means the blouse still with me).

This t-shirt was colored into sky-blue. Irina did it with great success.

Then it was the time to dye something pink... strong pink, I dare say.





After dyeing we had some tea with cakes and dried t-shirts. Not bad! My back had a hard work with every dyeing t-shit and control the process. Then we started to make fine work with brushes.





Irina chose to make it by free hand painting.





Neta did it with text.





More, more gold grass!





I had to help gils with brushes etc, and was a witness how the picture growth... it was the fish!







We all worked hard!





It was the picture of Snake with flower instead it's head.





At the rest of the day I taught friends how to make a special dyeing with drops.





This is the real heroes! They did really great job! :)))

How to I want to finish the design of my 4 new sites and enter them to internet

"It was a stretching for my mind, but I did it!"

How I did it: 1. If you have several ideas about your projects - write it. Use a special notebook instead a paper pieces.
2. Found what is the point of each project, especially in colors.
3. If you have a problem about the structure surf internet to see examples. But never follow it. Do something else.
4. Try to do something unique. Try it several times.
5. Put aside the results and have a rest for several hours or dayes. Then check it. Ask friends.
6. Don`t stop until you feel the result as correct.
7. Congratulations! You have done it!
8. Welcome to Anna on www.annamain.org and make sure that!

It took me 6 months.

It made me Happy and strong!

Even if you tired - never stop

Actually the point is how to continue to do the thing even if you are tired of it. My friends said it seems as Anna is something like mashine, never stops and clealy know what to do. But many times I feeled myself empty and lost. Several times it was so exhosting activity then I wish to close my eyes and forget everything.
The secret is to allow youself to have a rest for a while and then with samurai`s determination do it next time.
Now I completed 2 sites www.annamain.org and www.ann-mary.com .
Next 2 projects are postponed for a small time but i designed it`s main idea.
Then it is true to said about this goal: generally it has done.
