]]> I have sold my precious painting "The Invisible Tears of the Clown". I suppose I should be happy but I am not. Actually I am sad that I don't have it any more.

I can imagine how insane this sounds. However I can't change the feeling inside me. Somehow my unconscious mind doesn't allow my conscious mind to enjoy it. I want and I have to sell as many paintings as possible to be able to survive on this planet in this life. Actually I don't sell enough and I am worried about it. Therefore I should be extremely happy that somebody loved my painting and paid a significant amount of money for it. But I am not. I love my paintings and I can't help it. Probably somewhere deep down I don't want to sell them, maybe that is the reason that it doesn't happen very often?

Over the last few years I have exposed lots of my paintings in both the USA and the UK, but most of the time nothing has happened, nothing is sold, and so at some point they return to me. Probably I am so used to this now that I don't expect to sell anything any more. When suddenly one of my paintings is sold I am in a state of shock. I have lost something very precious.

I have made prints, postcards and posters on Fine Art America of the  clown and also greetings card on Zazzle (an online shop) with the image of "The Invisible Tears of the Clown". I still have a small part of it left.

I made a short video document from the fragments I recorded. Every single artist has an own unique style of painting. Some love to paint when they are naked, some needs alcohol in their blood, while others prefer a good quality joint. I prefer listening to music and talking to myself. Dependent of the sort of art I create sometimes I sit, sometimes stay up, sometimes I run or walk around the work I create. Large abstract paintings or collages often lie on the floor or on the grass in the garden and I run as a crazy bull around them. From time to time I lie on the floor or kneel down.

Here in this short video I am just sitting in the chair in my summer studio, the canvas is in the easel and I behave very normal and conventional.   Sometimes I am normal.

Autumn in Dunchideock by Kasia B. Turajczyk

I present my new fantasy abstract paintings from the series Four Seasons. (N.B. it has nothing to do with The Four Seasons of Vivaldi; however I love his four violin concertos, especially when listening to them in Venice – the perfect place, with an exciting past and a unique atmosphere)

I painted "Autumn in Dunchideock” first, without the intention of it being a part of a series. But yesterday I painted “Winter in Dunchideock” and now I am sure that Spring and Summer will follow.
In both paintings I used acrylics plus lots of weird materials. It is a real pleasure to experiment with seeds, plants, flowers and wax mixed with acrylics.

The autumn was the most colourful time, maybe still dominated by green (it is always green here) but also full of warm nuances of red, brown, yellow, blue and purple colures.

The winter is greenish- brownish-dark, somehow cool, and from time to time snow-white or frost-white.

I am wondering what will happen with the magnolia trees. At one point in December the Magnolias were in full bud. I hope they will survive the cold days and the frost at night. I love to watch them when they are in bloom. They look like Russian princesses from the Russian folk fairy tales. That just gave me an idea for a new fantastic painting: homage to the Great Russian painter Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel + Magnolia tree + Snow Queen.
