New exhibition

This spring ended up being busier than I expected on the art front and I am happy about it :)

​After the workshop at Havnekulturfestival, I got invited to exhibit 3 works together with other 7 artists at the Nordfyns Billedskole - North Fyn Art school in Otterup, a village located north of Odense, you can find more info visiting the website of the school:

​

This is the invitation to the exhibition that I have received from the organiser, with our names and a glimpse of our art. On the top-right corner you can see the image of my withering elephant-azalea flower. I guess the organizer found my elephant intriguing and used it for their poster and it makes me flattered.

I have to exhibit 3 pieces, this means that I have to find two other paintings, I will not reveal them until the start of the exhibition:
1. I do not know yet which one I am going to show ;)
2. Not to spoil the surprise for those who might attend, I hope to see some known faces ;)

In the meanwhile, we are almost in June. Azalea, lilac, roses and tulips are all blooming, it is time I go back to the Japanese Gardens a magical place full of inspiration.

My artjournal The Form of a Flower is developing as a meditative evening practice, to end on a poetic note, I post here the sketches of pearl hyacinth and aquilegia.

A quiet choir
