This visit to Cofu I have a chance to see seveal kinds of weather. The most beautiful is clouds in evening sky:

Big clouds was splitted into smallest parts, it was a gentle pocess without strong wind but it could be visible how different layers of air was mixed. All scene with the diection of light and siluets of tees on the mounting was so beautiful then I ran fo my camera to fix it. So after an hour big clouds exists only in my picture:

The sea was sweet and quiet:

... and this is the autoportet!

Tea ceremony (very short variant) is a significant part of my life. I like tea itself, but not less- accessories and the pocess. So I arranged the trevel tea set and bought it here, to Corfu.

Although I choose everything from many others (I have a lot of tea ceremony accessories and happy with it! 8-)  ) and the set looks nice in my home, here at Corfu it seemed unharmony,  less appropriate to the environment and coused me a little bit upset so I didn`t realize what`s the reason. And once I catched it! My japanese half-moon form tea taray was unrelative to here. So I went to Corfu town in hope to find the best… and I found it! ))

The small thing from olive tree with an elegance wave-shape wasnt` a tea tray exactly, but it ideally suits for the small set:

The result of so small changing overcomes all expectations! The new tea tray is small, for one teapot anf one cup only, but it literary sounds in precious accord with this atmosphere, with mountings I see from my balcony, with trees and sea, sounds with everything. So the small chenge show me how it`s important to invite local things in your life to make it shining.

Well, although I don`t work here so intense then I planed, I`ve made several scetches. This is the olive tree I saw in Paleokastriza:

I use craft paper for scetching to feel free out of details, so the pictures seemes dark. But if you have a moment to imagine what is below the lines you could feel how it is in eality.

Here it is glicinia, just from here, restoran. The day after it dryes so my scetch is the last point of it:

... and sweet rounded stones from a nameless small beach between Hefira and Rovinia available only by flippers:

Such scetches is not self-sufficient pictures but the windows I use to refeel how it was and then transform it into another picture, another feeling, another view may be far away from the basic, started from earth, facing to stars.

That visit to Corfu I`ve a new experience: to paint among stones. Thanks to my brother Alex presented me a waterproof set of bags!

So I can pack my scetch albom and brushes and aquarels and swim to rocks and paint it! Here it is the first scenche I did from my "host-stone" - the stone I prefer to stay, have a rest and also to sleep. I painter 2 dark rocks on the left side, listening how waves splashed, wondeing how different are their shape, dreaming how it will be wondeful to feel eveything by brushes just at the place, not from the memory.

Hee it is the kind of freedom I started to like!

That visit I have many changes since it`s started. My first room had lizard-view. My second room had a tree-view:

...and my current room has a glorious mounting-view. It could be a sea-view but the trees shields it. I could feel the sea, listen it so purey as if it is just near my balcony.

Of course I love it! The second floor is better, I feel as I live in a castle and could see everything from my balcony, actually I like it so much to carry my tools here and work, sleep and have a small privat tea ceremony here. Actually I`ve built the nest conviniant both for day and night time:

Here I have a view to stars and moon and have many thoughts and plans for my art and future pojects and more, more, more because the internet connection is good and the weather is nice and I could go to swim every time I want it. So it`s a paradise! )))

The Paradise beach is one of the most beautiful places I`ve ever seen. Also I feel it as a secure place because of the big mounting on the back.

It seemes a huge waves beated the rock and crashed part of it into small pieces. So a narrow line of small smoothy stones forms the beach. So fine beauty it is!

Waters change colors from gentle green I love to fluorescent blue amuseing me every time I see it. So crystal and calm!

My special admiation is stones lying in the water. It seemes smoothy too but with more interesting shape, sometimes flat, sometimes with an angles, half visible, half hidden inside.

Stones I love:

Stones I want to touch:

Yesterday we with Anila visited the Paradise beach available by boat only. While we gained it it was a long thread or Corfu`s rocks.

Flying slightly over the water the boat scuds further, so far I couldn`t gain by flippers. Not deep caves with blue water situates into the seashore rocks:

The structure of Corfu`s rocks are so different. I tryed to found scientific information about it but failed so I have no ideas how it was possible to form structures so different in colors, composition, directions etc, different in everything except the place. White chalk stones, gently rounded by the sea, lyes near big sharp black rocks. On our way it was tabular rocks remined me a huge cake:

You can see how layesr of molten and cool magma congealed in ancient time:

Another one:

That`s a lot of interesting ocks to paint. Sincerely said I tryed to paint it yesterday but not with a great success because it was really hard. So I need to investigate it more careful and try more, more, so I make pictures as much as it is possible:

The Paradise Beach contains with layers-rocks and small pebbles panes out by the sea, see next post for it. 8-)

1 and 2 days on Corfu is an exciting time so my first duty is be carefull with sun. I was fail it yesterday, sunburned and now have a time to write. 8-))) This is my first place for first days:

it was a chance to try a new place to live in villa Katherine so I have a view to small garden and hydragenia flowers and lizards was my neighbours for a few days:

The table is small so I tryed to place everything careful:

Trying to fit my shedule and make my Memrise gardens watered:

Sometimes the process of selection spends a lot of energy so it seems the best choice is no choice. When I try to decide what I want to eat and what to cook, plus time for shopping, plus time for cooking etc. I recall the style "everyday is the same".

Even such style seemes boring it makes easy things predictable and as I see could save a lot of time.
