Announce

My Petrykivka from past year

I am pleased to announce all the changes that accompany this month.

Sometimes you shouldn’t stir up the past, even if it’s not that long ago. The page is closed. We live and work. Announcement and planning for the coming months.


Not everything in our lives is so neglected, so now an announcement of news from me.
Firstly, I want to congratulate everyone who reads me on International Mother Language Day.

Still, why celebrate it?
If humanity had not created writing and language for communication, we would hardly have had global communication between nations today. And although we are all representatives of different nationalities today, we are united by knowledge of the English language, which the majority of us speak.
And if we don’t know this language, then our circle of communication is greatly narrowed. Of course, we can use the services of translators, but this makes communication more difficult and difficult.
Therefore, I only welcome learning new languages as an opportunity to expand my abilities.
The past week was very active and I can’t boast to you that I painted or exhibited anything in galleries. I don’t have enough energy and time. I’ll try to catch up and present you with new works.

My immediate plans include a return to icon painting and the final stages in the production of icons. An announcement of these actions will be coming soon.
After the seminar that took place last week, I am preparing to submit my visions for planning assistance and developing art in my city. Here, I would be happy to listen to your ideas. You can send me and enter into a chat with me on the FB page

https://www.facebook.com/helenpolishukart

where I have been publishing my work for the last two years.
Please, I will be glad. Believe me, I check and respond to emails on that page.

The next point is that I received a lot of offers, both related and not to the last year of my activity. And this is both the creation of films and the organization and implementation of projects.
Will I continue them in the future? Let’s take a look, study the offers and choose what suits me and what I need.

Still, the emphasis is on completing the creation and printing of the book and continuing to study the history of art and searching for points of joint projects in this direction. The choice is aimed at developing programs and projects in this area and related.

The next thing I continue to be interested in is the creation of new forms of selling works from creative people. Well, something that has not yet been created.
This is where I am interested in the geniuses of our planet and their clubs.
After all, I already emphasized at the seminar that creative people are divided into (my opinion) two groups. The first group is absolutely creative people who cannot sell. They can only create. There are many of them. They are passionate about the creation process. And that’s all. There are always such people someone must support and sell their product. It could be an organization, a gallery, a restaurant or a government agency, anyone. Believe me, this is a big win, you can live and make money on this, and an example of this is the same Van Gogh or Picasso, and even Mozart , who during their lifetime did not sell enough, but created a lot. And now their works are wonderfully used by their heirs and generations.
Second people are managers of their creative self.

Unfortunately or fortunately, there are fewer such people and they can be called blacksmiths of their idea, their craft.

They create, analyze, select, study, accumulate and implement.
So it’s no longer a secret for a modern artist that it’s simply impossible to live off drawing alone.

Today you need to work at a surviving job and then relax and draw. And what’s new is that the artist himself must now learn to have many computer skills in order to be able to sell and create himself.

Now we look ten years into the future, the conditions of survival will become even worse. And all this is due to the rapid development of digital.

I am optimistic about these next ten years, because I don’t need any more for my activities, then it will become more and more difficult for me to manage myself. That’s what I’m leading to? I’m leading to the fact that my stage of accumulating my artistic works has almost passed and I am pleased to enter the period of implementing these works, working on transferring my skills to students.
And here is a new announcement. I continue my mentoring work. This is not only icon painting, which I mentioned above. This is also the creation of maser box offices and workshops.

And the last announcement.

Since I have already entered the senior category, I will be happy to celebrate my last visit.

On February 21st, I hosted monthly Seniors’ Advisory Group meeting where I learned a lot of interesting and important things for me as a resident of Etobicoke.

To be continued. Stay, don’t switch

One photo story

Thank you for visiting my website.

Come to my page, do not be afraid.

Open my  new post and read.


Today I will tell you about one photo.#onephotostory.
Rather, it will be a comment about one photo.
Or rather, it will be my tedious reasoning, which I publish here.


So here……..


If you are ready to read the monotonous thoughts of a woman,  you are here.

Today I am not ready to prepare 6-7 pieces  of photos , as I always do, by selection and  publishing a post.
Today, only one photo.
Here it is. ……I am publishing it now….

 

One photo story


What? You’re upset now. What is it?


Why? Well, what to do with this photo?


What do you want to write to us here?


Nothing. Take it easy.
This is just my mood now.


Yes, it’s winter outside.
Yes, it’s cold outside.
Yes, everything has changed in color, since when I arrived on this land.))


It was green, warm, sunny.
It became cold, frosty and monotonously gray.

 

In my mind the same color changing.
It is not related to my mood.
Not at all.
I let go.
I relaxed, not to suffer from the problems.

I came to the conclusion that the best condition now is to get relax  in this situation.
And I get it.
I am extremely fruitfully working now to collect as much artistic material as possible,which I lack in Canada.
I attend exhibitions held in Kiev in these months.
I walk a few kilometers every day for healthy body.
I meet people and new places.


I must say that the city is changing very quickly. It is an amazing city. I love Kiev.
Kiev reminds me  the sea.
Imagine the surf…………
This is a wave that is gaining strength.
The wave rolls to the shore.
So, for me, this city is always the same, sandy, gray shore.))
And the waves that roll on him are all sorts of changes, sometimes events, sometimes people, actions……
The waves are rolling. They are trying to change the shore, raking, washing away the sand.
And the shore as it was stay……did not change.

My mood today is like this beautiful bench in this one photo.
All white.
But it is special white.
Not completely white, with colorchanging. It is snow, winter and cold.
And the bench, it’s me that this winter has covered with cold and snow.
And whatever I wanted, no matter how I spun … I have to cover myself with this snow … and stand.

Here is my photo today.
Great photo.
Cheer

Your Helen

From Black Friday

Creating this post, I decided to show my latest works.

I show a small video where I’m on the Ontario lake, on the waterfront.
As you can see, we have a continuation of the autumn.
Winter has not yet come.

 

 


The weather still like fall.Sometimes, a very cold wind, only one day was frost. The leaves fell from the trees.There is no snow and everything has turned gray color.Unusual that in the end of November still warm,temperature about +10 C.

Only at night, residents of Toronto include swich on the lighting  of their homes. This indicates the coming last month in this year,coming Christmas.

In Toronto is very beautiful lighting’s decor during Christmas time.
The residents prepare for the celebration of Christmas and spend on it  time , money and imagination.

I’ll show you small video about last year decoration.

It will be soon, but now is November and we will return to talk about our Friday.Black Friday today!!

I am pleased to inform  that the last exhibition where participated with my works  was  successful .

Some information here:https://lakeshorearts.ca/2017membersexhibition/

Other my activity is here http://www.neighbourhoodartsnetwork.org/membership/member-profiles?discipline=dis_14&page=4

I will certainly inform you about future new exhibitions.
I’m embarrassed that now invitations come so quickly that I’m not going to write about it while I’m going busy to.
Really, I already need an assistant.
In one hand, everything is very difficult to do.

 

After a short break, I again took up the brush and canvas.

I’ll show you the latest work.
They came out  four of them.It’s ussualy with me: either all together or nothing.

Black Friday HelenPolishuk

This is part of the future collection “Toronto Streets”.

I wanted to reflect in the pictures against the backdrop of the Toronto CN Tower people colorfully.
So I inserted a red umbrella as a red sign.
People living in this wonderful city  Toronto are unusual and differ from other cities by their openness and love of life.

Black_Friday

The city is washed by rain and fog.
That’s why city so damn handsome.
I painted a rain:small, drizzling, continuous,  in autumn.

Somewhere, between houses, in the rain and damp I walk too.
Under a red umbrella……..

Black-Friday

This image in progress.

 

I continue to collect sponsors for a movie about bikers.
Probably I will soon write about this part of my professional activity.


In breaks    🙂  I’m learning. I’ve been trained to constract light for photography.
It helps me make more juicy and correct photos.

I first time worked in processing photos with Photoshop.Crazy filling as artist,specally if you filling color.Amaizing.

This is a separate part of the work and a lifting.
You can work endlessly.
The results are fantastic.

For today that’s all.
Have a nice day, everyone.
