RETURNING TO MY FIRST LOVE: I AM PAINTING AGAIN.

The times they are a-changin, and it's time for me to change.

Painting has been my passion since the beginning of my career as an artist, almost 20 years ago.

And as I matured as an artist, I tried a multitude of materials and techniques, and I found ceramics and I loved it.

The feeling of wet clay on my hands, the challenge of building the things my imagination creates, and the joy of seeing them after their trial by fire has brought me happiness.

But no matter how many things I build and create, painting has always been in the back of my mind. I love color, and I spent my free time just mixing paints and testing every possible combination.

The feeling of a brush releasing pigment over a surface is something I enjoy immensely, and I want to go back to feeling that joy full time.

I have not done it for a while, and now that I want to go back to painting, I have not decided on what I want do paint yet. All I know is that I want to explore, try new things, experiment and let things happen as I do it.

So, the times they are a-changin for me, and I'm starting a long journey of self discovery and experimentation on my art. I will share my journey with you, and I hope you stay with me like you have done in the past.

This is going to be an interesting journey full of surprises, happy accidents and lots and lots of experiments, and I am really looking forward to see where this new path will take me.

With that in mind, now I need to make space on my studio for new materials, substates, papers and everything a painter will need, and the last remaining ceramic pieces need to find a forever home.

They are going to be the last pieces in a while, so, here they are, all of them hoping to find a loving home where they will be treasured and loved.

I hope you can adopt one (or a few!), they are unique works of art that deserve all the love in the world, and I know you will love each and all of them.

With lots of Love,

Danita.
