My mother was never able to live from painting due to prejudices encrusted in her society on her youth, so to survive, she resorted to sewing. The recurring concept was: “Painting is not for a woman; sewing is alright!”
Fact is, I learned to like painting because of her. When I was a child, I used to scramble all her brushes and play with her tubes of oil paint. Many years later, I attempted to start painting with watercolour. It was such a struggle, I thought that I’ll never make it.
After numerous tries, now I think I have found myself through the combination of painting and photography. Using a special software, I paint over photographs until I can get something that is pleasing to my eyes, just like a real painting.
I know it is not a concrete and palpable one, but I feel the pleasure of painting, even if just digitally!

A new idea...interesting....what about starting this art on real photos, i mean printed photos
This is a brilliant idea, but wouldn't you ruin the actual picture by painting over it?
Emily, my digital art is a way of releasing some of my passion for painting. However, I am terrible painter and digital art is far more forgiving. What I do is to apply various pieces of software and a lot of manual work to produce the final result. The original picture is intact and I also use it for other purposes. Thanks for commenting.
