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.
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:

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.
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.
I was extremely lazy at Corfu and so didn`t write several important things. One of them was my crazy swimming on 20 of July. I started from #1 point - it`s Hefira beach. I swam with snorkelling set (mask, flippers, tube).
All trip took from 11.30 to 17.30.
Point #2 is my favorite rock, so friendly it is that I can`s defy it`s hospitality. I spent hours lying on it`s surface, listening breath of the sea and heart of the mountings. I`ll write about my spiritual sence later and now only notice - that rock is important and I always come to see it. After who knows what a time I continued my swimming trip.
