Description 18x24cm

It's my first oil painting ever, so don't be too cruel. I promise the next one will be better!

Thank you. I'm sometimes active, but for the last year I was mostly doing comissions.

Awww. Too good to be the first oil painting. I take off my hat and bow. Colors, shapes - everything is perfect. Perspective is very well done, seems to be three-dimensional, even the apt relief of the dabs adds to this illusion.
Really hope that your painter talent will find a good application. You can be famous (if you'll want to, of course)!

Thank you! It's so nice to hear. Changing the tool of art is always a challenge, especially to the one I've never tried before. The expearience with colours and shapes I got with watercolours was very helpful.

Sure it would be great to be famous painter (even though painters get famous mostly after their death ). But rather doubt so. There are many talented people and out of them famous become those who create something different and meaningful. My art isn't really meaningful or controvercial and doesn't incline to deeper reflections. It's just pleasant to watch and I'm actually quite content with that. People tend to buy artworks which are pleasant to watch so maybe one day I'll become a not-so-famous-but-rich painter.

Yes, I understand this. Pity that for poetry the only possible tool change is the change of the language, but yes, I felt something similar when switching to write in English. Though, of course that's hard to compare, and I don't think that I got a good level of working with my new tool.

Hope to see more of your paintings. For sure, that experience was helpful for you because most of your oil paintings are really pretty. Excuse me if one day I'll add all of them to faves and will spam your notification box with that.

Let's say "famous between the people who know", or "wśród poświęcony".   (Seems that it could be much easier for me to translate my thoughts directly to Polish, only if I knew Polish at least a bit better than just some pronunciation rules. Pitifully, not yet. Sorry if I generate some impossible phrases.)
Ah, you're so idealistic. Out of those people only those have chance to become famous, who have enough good relations in needed societies. So, getting famous is more of hard working getting needed people into your circle than creating something really awesome. Okay, maybe I'm too pessimistic. But I try to be an optimistic pessimist, so I always hope for better, but take the worse case into account as one of the possible.

A great plan! Wish you to achieve that aim!
The most great thing of you is that despite your passion for painting, you still have chosen some much more real-life thing to study, so that in the best case you'll be rich painter and good doctor at the same time, and in the worst case you still will be at least one of them. I always admire people who give themselves a present to have a choice in their life, and who don't lock themselves into only one direction of improvement.

Writing a poem in different language is definitely a challenge. As with every tool you need some practise to master it.
I wander if you would feel the difference after changing the actual physical tool - let's say if you're using a pen switch into brush, computer or old writing machine. Or, wait,  maybe write with your fingers on fogged glass!

I seriously daubt in my "idealism". Having good contacts in my opinion gives a chance to become famous. Chance is a big thing, but it doesn't guarantee the long lasting fame like Picasso or Van Gogh. One must prove to be special enough in this time and place. Sometimes it's an issue of skills, sometimes sheer luck, mostly combination of both.

Being pessimist is not that bad if it doesn't affect your everyday mood.

Having incomes based on a dependable job gives the luxury to create art accordingly to own desires. Professional artists, unless they are very successful, have to take their clients wishes to account. I guess it must be hard to paint what somebody else tells them to when they don't feel like it.

I had this, too. My first poems were written in my secret diary. Afterwards, I wrote some poems using a pocket computer, and it was not very easy to get accustomed to, because thinking process became interrupted by bad spellchecker habits, by sudden jumps of caret, by the need to scroll text. And after that, it was also not very easy to write something using a normal computer, because the big white text area made me afraid at first that I'll fail to fill it properly. Also, when you write using paper and ink, somehow corresponding smell of paper and sounds of pen help with writing. Afterwards, I started to enjoy the sound of keyboard keys while writing, too. I even imagined that writing a poem using a computer is something alike to playing piano, that's why while writing I even press keys the same elegant way as I did while playing piano.

I still didn't try with fogged glass. Nice idea, thanks, I'll try it once.

I fully share the opinion that if you work on yourself and wide your borders of mind, you can be one of the best. But that doesn't mean that you'll have enough acceptance just because of that. To have some fame during your life you'll be required to promote and push yourself anyways. Either on your own, or by having enough people around who can do that for you. Thankfully, if you're talented, people love you and they'll be ready to help with that in most cases, and by their own will. So, our hypotheses don't cancel each other, I think.

Being a bit pessimistic affects my everyday mood in a rather positive way - I always see that there's a place for improvement, and I always improve what I can.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Seems that we have almost the same attitude to life: at first you need to create a solid base for your further intentions, and then you're free to implement your dreams in any way you want. Nice. Because I think that such people are relatively rare, who get both parts of this idea.

Czekałam na ten obraz TAK DŁUGO, ale było warto - jest po prostu niesamowity. A co najmniej bardzo udany, nawet nie biorąc pod uwagę tego, że to Twój pierwszy olejny. Ścieżka jest prześliczna.

Maluj, maluj!

Bo ta farba tak długo schnie! Wiesz że jeszcze się lepi w niektórych miejscach? W międzyczasie zdążyłam namalować 2 akwarelki 50x32cm (i oczywiście nie wrzuciłam jeszcze ich zdjęć bo jestem leniwą bułą).

A poważnie, to banan sam się pojawia na twarzy po przeczytaniu takiego komentarza. Dziękuję!

Ale... ale... przecież Ty jesteś pracowita... i romantyczna. To... to niemożliwe, nie możesz być leniwą bułą!

Leniwy croissant brzmi lepiej i zdecydowanie bardziej do Ciebie pasuje.

Już nie mogę się doczekać, kiedy je zobaczę. W sumie widziałam tylko jedną, a w zasadzie pół, więc to dla mnie spora zagadka.

Banan, powiadasz...

Khahahaha leniwy croissant wygrał! Tak, jestem leniwym croissantem!
Ale że rhomantyczna...? Czyżby ta refleksja przyszła gdy robiłam Ci herbatkę na śniadanie...? Czy też wpływ miały Wedding singer , Dirty Dancing i Grease obejrzane w tak krótkich odstępach czasowych....?

Myślę że ten który widziałaś w połowie pojawi się jeszcze dziś wieczorem.
