I’m a student of life, I see beauty in nature, in people. I like to document my discoveries by photo’s and through my paintings.
Imagination comes to my aid, when at loss of words. There is truth about the saying a picture tells you more than thousand words. Camera is a great way to capture a moment. A good picture does not only show the object of the photo, but also the emotion.
I draw with pastels, paint with oil, acrylics and watercolors. I have for the last three years been studying technic and expression… I have found that I paint emotions best with pastels, but I am learning other mediums to convey the same emotional impact.
I’ a work in progress. Hopefully never ready.
I was reading the comments then realized I needed to go back and take a closer look. It’s magic!
Your picture transports you to another place and time. I think I actually heard music with it ? Or, it might be that it’s just FRIDAY!! I love the photo. I had to look twice!

you made my day… glad you visited twice – i was going say it in an other way – thought better not – even if it is Friday…
I think I would be transported somewhere else if you had music to them. Your picture is awesome!! I think I actually heard some music!! LOL, (It’s Friday)
good to hear… 🙂 hope it was a good song 🙂
It has the feeling of preparation for some kind of cleansing ritual.
So beautiful, I love the dancers and the fire. Every time I look at it, I see something new.
I’m happy to know about Mandarin Orange Monday. I had never heard of it!
Thanks, glad to hear that you found something to see in it… that was what I was aiiming for. Mandarin Orange is great 🙂
Beautiful work! Have a fabulous week.

Your blended layers are perfectly gorgeous, Ritva. It does look like fire. You really know how to alter photos to the best advantage. This is beautiful.
Faye, Thanks 😉
This is beautiful!
Visiting from Mandarin Orange Monday.
Duct Tape Bag is my entry.
Your comment is always appreciated!
I love playing with photography – you can create the most beautiful pieces, just like this one!
A very exotic image this week! Beautiful! Love the dancers around (in?) the fire and the interesting colours and textures created. The blue pattern at the front provides a nice contrast. Thanks for sharing it, Ritva, on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
I love it and I am wondering how you made it!? Valerie
I have four pictures in layers . I blended and blended them…
