In this world, love is the beautification of people ...

Omar Khayyam

Ostad Mahmoud Farshchian

Tomorrow's day - alas! - is hidden from our eyes!
Hurry to use the hour that's flying into the abyss.
Drink, moonlight! How often will the month be?
Go to heaven, no longer seeing us.

As long as you reproach us, you're a bad hypocrite,
For the fact that we burn love to the tavern to the tavern?
We are pleased with the wine and sweet, and you
Entangled in beads and lies hypocritically.

In one hand flowers, in the other - the glass is permanent,
Eat with your beloved, forgetting about the whole universe,
As long as the death of a tornado suddenly breaks from you,
As from the rose petals, the life shirt is frail.

I went out into the garden in sorrow and I'm not happy in the morning,
Rose sang a nightingale in a mysterious harmony:
"Show yourself from the bud, rejoice in the morning,
How many wonderful flowers this garden has given! "

Get up from sleep! Night for the mysteries of love is created,
To throw at the house of your beloved dana!
Where there are doors - they lock themselves for the night,
Only the door for lovers - it is open!

You in the road of love do not drive a horse -
You will be exhausted by the end of the day.
Do not swear on the one who is tortured by love, -
You can not comprehend the heat of someone else's fire.

Says my soul - in love with his face,
The sound of his speeches penetrated into the very heart.
Pearls of mystery fill my heart and soul,
But I can not say - my language is nailed!

Woe to the heart, which ice is colder,
He does not burn with love, he does not know about her.
And for the heart of a lover, a day spent
Without a beloved, - the most lost of days!

Let me touch, beloved, strands of thick,
This is a miracle of dreams for me ...
Your curls will be compared only with the heart in love,
So soft and so trembling are their curls!

I thought that your promises were true,
Constancy is full of your promises.
No, I did not know that, like the pillars of the universe -
Light of the eyes! - Your promises are fragile!

Give me a jug of wine and a cup, oh, my love,
Let's sit in the meadow with you and on the bank of a stream!
The sky is a lot of beauties, from the beginning of life,
Turned, my friend, into bowls and pitchers - I know.

Mika T? R? Nen: if you love, do not control

This Finnish artist paints with watercolor, because he fell in love with her at first sight. Then he was twenty-five years old, and he could not draw at all - he did not even know how to do it. Love is capable of miracles: for example, she knows how to fulfill human desires. In the case of Mika T? R? Nen, she taught an ordinary person, albeit strongly in love, artistic art in a fairly difficult technique. No other artist ever used it.

Later it turned out that teaching others, it becomes easier to understand yourself, to overestimate your own work, sometimes even to doubt them. Modern art has turned to Mika T? R? Nen a new facet, bright and inexhaustible. He is as honest as possible with his students and gives them absolutely everything that he himself knows. Artists, for the most part, are hermits, but the social type of this Finn requires direct human communication, and he fully enjoys it in their own studies.

Favorite objects in painting by Mika T? R? Nen are people, light and landscape. The ocher and ultramarine are the first to end in the palette, and the artist paints it every day. He is one of the few who acknowledges the use of photography and the preference for studio work on the film. If we recall the increased severity of the Finnish winters, all such preferences acquire a rational meaning. The artist sincerely believes that the watercolorist should not overly control his own painting - often it is necessary to entrust the completion of the started case to ordinary water. But painting every day is the only way to achieve perfection.

Spartaco Lombardo was born in the Italian city of Lulno, which is located on the shores of the picturesque Lake Maggiore. The surrounding beauties were of considerable importance for the formation of true artistic taste. At the age of 23, the professional career of this artist began, which brought him first into the national, and, a little later, into the international heroes of the modern art world. Over the past thirty years it is difficult to calculate how many times he became a prize-winner of Italian and world art competitions.

Spartaco Lombardo and for today takes an active part in numerous exhibitions, and also successfully organizes author's displays of his numerous works. They are distinguished by exciting, bright colors and living details. It seems that they are all written in an open air. Nevertheless, most of them are the realization of the artist's fantasy, forever in love with the Mediterranean. Scenes from the surrounding of all of us, everyday life, so talented and successfully seized, go through reality, capturing living images and stopped moments. But the important and main characters of many of Spartaco Lombardo's paintings are horses. It's not just the personal sympathies of the artist, but also the nobility of these beautiful animals endowed with nature. The best in the world - I'm sure this talented Italian - and his paintings are a confirmation. And these and other works of the author have long become an integral part of private and public collections of works of contemporary art in Europe and America.

Jonathan Frank about batik in watercolors

American watercolorist Jonathan Frank since childhood has seen enough of the American Grand Canyon. It seems that the red stones of this greatest miracle of nature, or rather the dark edging of claret rocks, pushed him to one productive thought. Batik, in fact, exists in living nature. Moreover, there is no better means to highlight the bright details. These were many in the national reserve "Colorado", with which the future artist lived in the neighborhood. Moving to Denver, at first glance, was supposed to ask all childhood memories with its blurred outlines, but with creative personalities it does not happen. Just exactly the opposite. All landscapes that were popular in childhood were clearly fixed in the memory.

And the craving for these beauties resulted later in a violent creative flow. And Jonathan Frank created a lot of magic watercolor drawings, which managed to repeatedly win various watercolor competitions. The first grand prize, which the artist received in 2000, allowed him to devote himself forever to his beloved profession, travel a lot around his native country and reflect its beauty with the help of watercolors.

As a result, he returned to his native penates - well, almost. Now he lives in the town of Moab, which is in Utah. There are only 5,000 people in it, but is this really the case? The main one is the hotly loved canyons and the Arki National Park. It is a place of eternal inspiration and a never-ending plein-air. If the place is remote, or hard-to-reach, then the artist does not disdain photography, but draws later in the studio. Otherwise, in any way - from the photograph you will never make a watercolor batik.
