#54 PURPLE

Sprehajala sem se po mestu. Veseli december je že razodeval vse svoje čare. Žareče lučke sijejo z okoliških dreves in stavb. Nekaj lučk so spretni delavci postavili tudi nad trge in ulice. Vse je videti čarobno in pravljično. Iz majhnih lesenih hišic vije vonj po čaju in kuhanem vinu. Vonj cimeta, klinčkov in vsega sladkega. Opazujem ljudi. Videti so srečni, zadovoljni in veseli. Družijo se. Nekateri pari se držijo za roke, se poljubljajo in si v ušesa šepečejo besede, ki so namenjene samo drug drugemu. Nekateri so v družbi prijateljev. Veselo se pogovarjajo, obujajo skupne doživete trenutke in se na vsake toliko glasno zasmejijo v en glas. Morali so doživeti res nekaj lepega! Ko pogledam v izložbe vidim lučke v notranjosti trgovin, ljudi, ki se motajo med policami in oglase, kaj vse lahko kupimo svojim najbližjim in najdražjim. Ja, veseli december je v polnem zamahu! Na ulici zagledam tudi mlado žensko, ki se drži mladega moškega.  Lepo sta urejena in videti zaljubljena. Pri punci vidim, da je vijoličen plašček nekoliko preveč napet. Pod srcem nosi novo bitje, otročička, ki je sad njune ljubezni. Veseli me, da sta videti srečna, zadovoljna in zaljubljena drug v drugega in v življenje. Oči se jima svetijo od ponosa in vseh lučk v bližini. Pomislim na moje prijateljice, ki so rodile oziroma so že/še v pričakovanju. V mislih vsem, zaželim srečo, da so ljubljene in njihovi otročički zdravi. Sama pa vseeno pomislim, da zame še ni ta čas in bom raje nekaj časa še ostala v obliki v kateri sem sedaj.  Za druge občutke in trenutke imam še čas.

// I was walking down the street. Happy December already revealed all its charms. Glowing lights shining from the trees and buildings around me. Some of this Christmas lights and Christmas illuminations  are placed above the squares and streets. Skilled workers set all this beautiful images.  Everything seems magical and fairy. From small wooden houses meandering smell of tea and mulled wine. The smell of cinnamon, cloves, and all sweet. I'm watching people. They look satisfied and happy. They are hanging out. Some couples holding hands, kissing and whisper words in the ears,  that are intended only to each other. Some of people are in the group of friends. They are talking cheerful, restoring common experience, and every once they all together laugh loud. Probably they experienced something really nice! When I look through the shop window I see lights inside the stores, people who potter around the shelves and ads about what you can buy to your nearest and dearest. Yeah, happy December is in full swing! On the street I see a young woman who hold a young man. They are well-dressed  and I can feel love between them. I notice that girl's purple coat is a bit too tight. Under her heart grows a new creature, the baby, who  is the result of their love. I am pleased that they look happy, satisfied and in love with each other and with life. Them eyes shine with pride and from all the lights in the nearness. I think to all my girlfriends who gave birth or they  are already / still expecting. In my mind I wish everyone, good luck to be loved and their babies healthy. However I think that for me is not this time, yet.  I will rather stay in the "form" in which I am now . I have still time for this other feelings and moments. 

#14 RAINY SPRING SUNDAY

Sem oseba, ki ljubi poletje, sonce in dolge dni. Ljubim vonj sveže pokošene trave (še posebej tiste prvič), zvoke ptic in žuželk, ki neutrudljivo izvajajo svoj vrhunski koncert. Vesela sem, da je pomlad, saj to pomeni, da se bližamo najlepšemu delu leta. Pravzaprav smo že skoraj tu, saj mi je tudi ta, uvodni del močno pri srcu. Rada imam pomladansko sonce, zavedam pa se, da mora biti na vsake toliko časa tudi deževno vreme, tako kot danes. Včasih se mi zdi, da dež izvabi iz nas posebne občutke. Sama sem ob takem vremenu pogosto polna navdihov in idej, kaj vse bi lahko naredila. In ne ostane vedno samo pri idejah. Ko sem doma, mi daje dež občutek umirjenosti in sprostitve. In ker nas dež pogosto asociira na sivo barvo, sem za današnjo objavo izbrala risbo, ki je ustvarjena samo s svinčniki. Uporabila sem svinčnike različne trdote – različni H-ji, B-ji in HB. Ugotavljam, da se rada posvetim ustvarjanju oblik samo s svinčniki. Seveda pa se še učim, kar pomeni, da se bodo tudi moje risbe še izboljšale. Upam!

// I am one of the people, who loves summer, the hot sun and the long summer days. I love the smell of the freshly cut grass (especialy when it is mowed for the first time in a season), sound of birds and insects, which tirelessly perform their topmost concert. I am happy, that spring is here, because that means, that the most beautiful time of the year is coming. We are already here, actually, because I love this "introductive" time as well.  I love the spring's sun, but at the same time I am aware that there will be some rainy days, too, like the one today. Sometimes I think, that the rainy weather elicitis some special feelings from us. During that kind of weather I have a lot of inspiration and ideas. It doesn't always stay with only the idea. When I am at home, rain gives me a feeling of calmness and relaxation. And because most of us associate rain with the grey colour, I used only pencils for today's sketch. I used pencils in different hardness – different H's, B's and HB. I actually found out, that I like to draw and create various forms with only pencils. I am still learning, which means that my drawing's skills should be slowly improving each time. So I hope!
