HELLO PEOPLE!
Welcome to the post of today.
Has been a productive week as I have been painting flowers daily. Working with oils it's always a pleasure. The horse face is ready and I still have more flowers to paint but so far looks amazing, I have worn out 3 paintbrushes and Im almost done with a few more...I think this is the first time my brushes have worn out so quickly.
I've been working with a lot of turpentine, I keep some in a glass bottle that I brought in Marrakech, I paint with turpentine to make dilutions, I generally use linseed oil more and I think that's why my brushes have worn out faster.

Painting the petals is very relaxing. In addition, the oil creates layers and double reflections and the colors mix, creating dimensions. That's what I like about oil.
Lately I have really enjoyed working with black backgrounds for my flowers and herbs and applying colors over these backgrounds because they stand out quite a bit.
I'm getting closer to finishing and I'm very excited about how it's turning out.
This has been a quiet week with a lot of painting, a lot of walking, and I started running, which I'm very happy about because it's something I never imagined doing because I'm a person who has never liked running in my life. I don't run very fast. Maybe it's a fast trot, but for me that's already a gain.
And while I was walking and thinking about all the things that have happened to me I found a message lying around that was perfect, I love when these things happens to me, God is always keeping an eye on me and this is one of many ways he speaks.
Speaking of incredible things, this month marks World UFO Day and it's all thanks to the event that took place in Roswell New Mexico.
The morning of July 2, almost eight decades ago, something crashed on a ranch. Locals began to speculate that it was a flying object. The U.S. Air Force investigated the case for some time and concluded that it was a secret project monitoring Soviet nuclear tests, although doubts and rumors always surrounded the topic.
In 1997, the investigation was still ongoing, and it was said that the extraterrestrial bodies were "dummies" used in military tests. Despite the fact that 28 years have passed since those statements, doubts and different theories are always in the air.
SO....
TO WATCH: Don't miss the video I prepared where I talk about UFOs represented in art throughout history up to our time, super cool! (see attached video)
TO LISTEN: One of the songs I really like by Coldplay is Viva la Vida, so I brought it this week and I've been listening to it while I'm walking around when I'm exercising, I even dreamed about the vocalist who was going to play or give a concert in a hippie place like Glastonbury, but it was a very small place like a park, and the vocalist was there and he had water bottles as instruments and he was going to play the song, playing with water bottles making music with his ands, but anyway, here's the video of the song that I like, Viva la Vida.
TO EAT: This time I share with you a super simple, super easy recipe to make, which is potatoes in the air with cheese and mushrooms and it is one of my most recurring meals that I can eat almost every day. In addition to being super filling. Recipe: HERE
