It's such a nice feeling when finally my art can express some of ideas or emotions you can't much argue about because we are living in a time with lots of challenges and new experiences.

This time I tried to depict beautiful flowers of Hydrangea paniculata Siebold, in other words one species of Hortensia, that are native to Asia and America.

Some of the interesting facts about it:

- The flowers are used for ornamental purposes

- Sometimes is smoked although it can be dangerous and even lead to death

- the name Hyrangea origins from Greece and means "water vessel" because of the shape of the flowers.

This is another my original study work, reference "Sunset in the Himalayas" by Vereshchagin V. 1879.

Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal.

Elbert Hubbard

People who care, act, and refuse to give up may not change THE world, but they can change many individual worlds.

Samantha Power, The Education of an Idealist: A Memoir

I love borders. August is the border between summer and autumn; it is the most beautiful month I know.

Twilight is the border between day and night, and the shore is the border between sea and land. The border is longing: when both have fallen in love but still haven't said anything.

The border is to be on the way. It is the way that is the most important thing.

This time my work is dedicated to Vaccínium myrtíllus or European blueberry. The berries (fruits) grow on a shrub and have interesting features and facts:

In the past it was used as a dye for food and clothes

It has been used in Austria in traditional medicine as a tea or liqueur to treat various disorders

There is a Blueberry river in the Columbia Country in Canada

Is often used for cooking for e.g. in muffins
