Uspavanka za oblake

        Poljski zvončići (Campanula rotundifolia)                                Minđušica (Fuchsia) akvarel                             akvarel Postoje mnoge stvari koje su obeležile moje detinjstvo, a među njima je cveće imalo vrlo važnu ulogu. Obožavala sam plućnjak i plave zvončiće, ljutić i jagorčevinu, minđušicu i zevalice i one žute kićanke kojima ne znam ime...Sa zevalicama sam bila u stanju satima da se igram, podsećale su me na usta koja mogu da govore, pa sam izmišljala dijaloge dveju zevalica. Ih, šta su sve one imale da kažu jedna drugoj...Vrlo često su razni nežni poljski cvetići (a ponekad, moram da priznam, i neko lepo kultivisano sveće iz komšijskog dvorišta) služili kao dekoracija za tortu od blata.

We all have some favorite books from childhood. However, I had a lot of them. But, there are many wonderful fairytales and stories for children, which I descovered much later as an adult. I thought that these books will be dull, but I am much mistaken. Reading them, I felt like I was ten. In any case, I recently bought a great book called "The Magic Butterfly and Other Fairy Tales from Central Europe" illustrated by Ugo Fontana. Stories are unusually interesting, and illustrations - stunning. Here sre some of them. Impressive, isn't it? I attach two of my recent illustrations. They are not as great as Ugo's, but at least I try. Kisa again, always interesting. But this time as the Snow Queen. This is a tea party with raccoon. God knows how I got the inspiration for this illustration. I might have dreamed of something, anyway it was fun to draw this.

These beautiful spring days made me start to make some new drawings. Of course, Kisa and Joja are always an inspiration for me. But there are also beautiful nature, and some things that haunt my imagination - some things from childhood, a dream, a child's vague thouhgts.   This is our backyard with an old pin tree   This is Kisa on hazel tree. This is Joja when she was younger . And this is something from my imagination. This could be Kisa or Joja, or even me when I was a child. It does not matter which one of us. It is the purest and most beautiful part of human nature. That is the wonderful part of childhood when we believe that all people are good and that miracle might happen. When we believe that our dolls getting up at night while we sleep, and play. This is the moment when the doll caught in their game.
