INSPIRED BY FRIDA

 I have started a series of paintings in homage to the style, colours, Flowers and vitality that Frida Kahlo has left for all of u.

She may have suffered quite a lot in her personal private life, but her attitude, her the photos of her with her colours and hair arrangements, her paintings have become a legacy for all of us, photographers, fashion designers etc.  

I our crusade for inspiration and joy of life moment by moment, let's take advantage of the Passion and Energy this images offer and let´s apply them to this present second we are breathing!! NOW is the only time there is.

            SATURDAY MORNING FRIDA AND FLOWERS TO BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY
_____________________________________________________________________________

We go on with this series of articles and art that we use as the means to stop and breath and re-connect with our selves during the day so that we do an inner choice for joy and elevate our general feeling state.  Colour, beauty, have their inner strength, vibrancy, they take us to a different level from the analytic and mental thoughts into an area of play, enjoyment and abstraction, much closer to our spirit.

This is a work inspired by the legacy of Frida into contemporary art, photography and fashion, her colours, her flower arrangements, and a certain iconic look are totally outstanding and immediately re cognisable.  We join today in this feast for our eyes

                    TODAY I WAS THINKING OF YOU

Hi again, here we are in our joint crusade to touch the flames of inspiration through art, let the colours, the shapes melt with our perception and bring us back to a vibrancy and a freshness that is so often diluted during the passing of the day.

I have here a tool that I have made, something which is meant to be very very useful. It is an ebook that you can just look when things seem to be out of hand, when thoughts seem to run in our heads, we need to have a few moments of re-connecting with our inner guidance and inspiration and more often than not a tool is a great help for this.

It could be a quote, a spiritual image,............or in this case the paintings and quotes I have put together so that we can share a journey into higher and higher states of mind.

Here below you can see the preview and by joining my mailing list you can get a free downloadable pdf so that you can see it in your computer every day or print it and have it by your side.

Thank you for making of this a meaningful journey.... enjoy

Art and the cosmic experience of your everyday life by Amara Dacer | Make Your Own Book

The Art is in your eyes, you are the one who resonates with beauty and colour, your inner world and your inspiration is what gets fired with the with the visions of vibrant shapes and forms. Perception is in YOU.

It is my life purpose to produce images that can melt within the one perceiving them and thus bring it meanig, being uplifting, a pleasurse for the eyes and the mind, a resting point in the sometimes tiring path of everyday life rush.....

It is moment by moment a shared experience

What one feeds himself with be it food for the body or food for the mind this is what brings the outcome, let´s share the beauty, the joy and let our inspiration fire up time and time again!!

Thank you for the honour of sharing

Fine Art, Fine Tuning your vision. Joy through color and beauty series

Fine Art, Fine Tuning your vision. Joy through color and beauty series

Hi to all, we are now Thursday, very good day to prepare for the weekend awareness of beauty and color, making way for our enjoyment, as we are training in lifting up our moods, by doing that, by noticing our feelings moment to moment we give more meaning to each second and therefore to our being and we notice that it is our “choice”. We cannot choose what comes or appears in our spirit but we can choose if we follow it or we turn in our designed direction. Beauty and color is our tool here.

Things we can do..... I am going to suggest two things. Paying attention to our selves by choosing some kind of ornament or simply by appreciating as we pass by on the street or at work those who have decided to wear them is going to be very rewarding.....

Taking the time and the care to put even if it is one flower in a vase or a simple glass on the table we are going to have our meals in is also a wonderful way of celebrating ourselves, life, the moment...and if you share it it even multiplies.....so, let´s join in beauty NOW.

Art in our eyes, Landscape, still life, whatever is around us, insipiration for our moment to moment

Art in our eyes, Landscape, still life, whatever is around us, inspirations for our moment to moment................let's close our eyes and mmmm

The weekend is approaching and we will go out, stroll, cook something special for our loved ones or ourselves taking special time and special care...... remember this blog is about enhancing and enjoying every moment!!!! we do that by paying attention and putting our Art-Glasses on so that beauty appears everywhere around and we stop to appreciate and thank for it, this pays back with more sense of joy. Joy is a choice and if you are reading this is because whatever your state of mind is YOU HAVE MADE THE JOY CHOICE, so we stay together in this. I am pasting here below one inspiration on how to see colour in any landscape you may be looking at and another on how to see beauty in your kitchen...........here we go!!! enjoy your weekend!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! remember, be present or you will be absent............................................ no other choice

How to put the art within your eyes.............and within your life

Hi, I am starting a new series of blog posts here where we will together learn how to have art “within our eyes” instead of expecting it to come from outside or for someone to “give it to us”. The information that we allow through our senses shapes what we become, we may have woken up within a fantastic and exhilarating mood or with our “left foot”, but that doesn´t matter because in the long run we do have a choice. This is the most important to bare in mind.

We can choose to make beautiful and to therefore enjoy anywhere we look at. You may say, well, and what is the reality, what about if it is ugly or I do not like what I am seeing that moment? Again I will reply what I have found out after endless years of meditation and reading all sort of weird and wonderful books and then applying it........ perception is totally personal, there is not an objective perception. Has it never happened to you that you go to a party with someone else and when you come out and share experiences they are totally different????, well this is what I mean.

So, I will start here a series where I will show you a picture of a landscape and then, the art VISION of that landscape. And when I do this I do not want you to look at the finger pointing at the moon and staying on the fingertip and missing the moon. What I mean here is that YOU have that vision, it takes only a bit of training, this is what we are going to do here, but the aim of this is not that you stay with the artist's perception but with yours, and that the colours end up pervading all you look at and that you enjoy so much more any moment. Life is made of moments.....lets stay with this and leave the full picture expectations, it is made through all this little seemingly unimportant moments that we weave into it.

So , here below is a picture of Biniaraix, a little village in Majorca and the VISION we can have when we look at it 

ART IN YOUR DREAMS,, YOUR BEDROOM DECORATION IS IMPORTANT.....

Hi to all. Following this series I am blogging about on how to make our moment to moment more significant. Budda said that to be born in this realm was more difficult than the fact of a turtle comming up from the depths of the ocean to put up its head by chance through the opening of a wooden yoke tossed around by the huge waves on the surface.............so, what about that as a chance percentage!!?? and being so precious, how can we go on and on and on without noticing we are alive even?. No, time to put value to every second, not that they will be slipping away as the grains of sand from our hand, there are infinite as I believe we are Ethernal, but let's put it this way and without stressing ourselves, what we make of our life and how aware do we become counts, yes, it counts a lot.

Art is great to make us stop. My advice is this, put an image you cannot pass by without looking at very close to you!! and......how much closer can there be than our bed? Where we spend all our unconscious hours elaborating dreams and re-making our thoughts and futures.

having a wonderfully inpiring book by your night stand, having a beautiful image to look at before folling in the arms of Morpheus and dissappearing for a while in the dream – world is a perfect way to reinforce or awareness and our sense of being alife and join in a joyful mood all the rest of the sleeping humans. ….. This is it for now, we will continue together dreaming and having new inspiring images

Art, interiors, decoration and you

 As I have been proposing from all my posts, to have a special day, to uplift your mood, and bear in mind that moments and moods repeated just crystallise in habits, art is on your side.  Specially art with vibrant colours which bring with them a sensation of vitality, freshness, light and joy.

 To choose some piece of art that you feel matches your style and maybe your wishes and portrays that in a way that awakens you every time you pass by it, it reminds you that you have dedicated time to yourself in choosing it, it gets alive every time you look at it, in fact you are giving it the sense it has! this is rewarding and makes those moments a sign to wake up to yourself and the joy to be there and then, and if that is not what you are feeling that moment that particular day, then at least it is a reminder to you that it could be otherwise.

Surround yourself by the most beautiful objects and enjoy art color wherever you look at

Following this series of blog posts in which colour and letting it uplift you moment to moment is what we are aiming for, one wonderful idea is to surround yourself by beauty in every object.  Your love for your ambience as well as for your own self will be looking back at you and reinforcing your good moods.  Cushions are a good example of this.  Why do you want a dull sofa just to break down into afer work without even noticing you are doing it?? and this is just one of the thousands of mechanical actions that you can break the spell on you by having a stron beautiful art object catching your eye and reminding you.... Hey, stop, you are alife! enjoy this moment.......  Lets join together in this....

Colour in flower paintings

 To develop an eye for beauty in every day life is something which will bring much joy to our moment to moment flow of the day.  This is a muscle, just like going to the gym.  What I have noticed in my own experience is that looking at a painting or at pieces of art that we feel identified with several times every day makes or sight an art bringer, develops our awareness of beauty and vibrancy in all what surrounds us and helps us go out of recurrent worry moods or low moments we may fall into. I am posting this wonderful flower vases by the artist Van Dongen so that we can share together this art of making beauty of everything that touches our visual perception.....keep in touch and let me know of the effects you notice

Mallorca, magnificent place for painting with strong vibrant colours, let yourself be invaded by inspiration

 Mallorca, perfect place for painting in colour and getting inspired

Mallorca has been called the "Island of Light" as well as the "Island of peace", this has a reason, and what we wish here is to be active participants and to live this two adjectives in First Person.

If you have ever looked at an impressionist or expressionist or fauve painting and felt uplifted, excited or full of enery.....it is for a reason.  Light and colour has an impact in our perception and mood.  It comes to us with an enhanced sense of vitality, excitement and beauty and this is well known by all artists who use colour as their meium of expression.

Vibrant colours bring a sense of "I feel happy", "life is beautiful" and this, believe it or not, is independent of the present mood we are in in this moment.  That explains the sensation of pleasure and the fact of being reminded that this moods are available to us, RIGHT NOW, RIGHT IN THIS MOMENT, no matter what we have happened to be entertaining in our minds until just one second before!!! so, let´s all together take advantage of this gift and do not forget  the beauty you can bring to your moment, lets experience it and see if it works!  I invite you to have a look at the following images and let the colour permeate your awarness without thought, just experience....... and let me know of the effects!
