rehabilitation of a sketchbook

Wise sayings are worthy pondering deeper despite their inability to burst into laugh.
So what do I do?

silent pass into silence - 2010 by Tomas Karkalas

I opened my sketchbook and didn't doubt ability of the art to fill currently empty sheets of paper.
As I took my paintbrush, I as if jumped over a time. The beholders will have what to look at when today's emotions will   will be put into shape. The ancient monuments always inspire  the viewers with desire to uncap , to bow to them... yet people rarely rejoice at a cemetery .
Therefore I questioned myself what is sense to hurry to frame the creative work and hung it on a wall?
My silent pass into silence looks like the shadows of a shadow at a moment. The picture looks abstract, yet its "no shape'' means the rejoicing over the memory of the light - the rehabilitation is not a statement but the process - the awakening to question 'what's that?'

garden of possibilities

I know the flowers are beautiful, so I never bother what to paint.
Yet  my "artistic reflections" rarely remind the visual poetry. That contradiction may be explained either as the lack of talent to draw, or the question - have my reports the right to contradict to the paper's news?
usually, our dreams and social reality differ between in spite of the fact we all wish only good...
Therefore this digital painting tries to imitate the wet water color - everything is possible.
Irony too blossom out in the garden of possibilities.

silent longing

It is good to paint. My paintbrush constructs the claims for being, and the statements compose the artwork - prepare the ground for art therapy. So the elementary school of listening starts, and Silent Longing joyfully knocks on a door to taste a sip of fresh air.

fruits of fate

It sleets. Therefore I color old photos and thus art by Tomas happens - the ordinary branch of chokeberry fruit obtained the title. You see the fruits of fate. Is it not prophetical? What is your harvest?

art of talking snow

Silence awaken me to listen to dirty snow. Silence always awakes attention, and the wondrous pictures blossom in result. Meanwhile the knowledge of the technique  explains what's happening and thus art critics surprise the world with insightful interpretations.

snow lesson

Snow covers Land of Amber already for some time. It's hard to feel oneself like the needless stranger in the homeland, yet the artists do not weep. While looking at this photo sketch, I questioned myself what did I was going to show? Was that worthy indeed?
It is easy to talk about the eternal value of the fine arts, yet what is it in the concrete?
My empty wallet teaches me the endurance - depicts the hardships as life's test of our faithfulness to God and thus transforms keen sorrow into the blessing.

snowman's metamorphosis

"Knowing others is wisdom; knowing the self is enlightenment."

— Tao Te Ching

 Quotes challenge the artists to take a close-up of sparkling panorama of global truth and thus transform high statements into the humble confessions of personal diary. Such way my windowsill disappeared - became a mirror. Do you recognize yourself in snow paintings too?
