Watercolour. 70CM X 100CM. I find zichron Ya'aakov, Israel.. a very inspiring place for me to visit. Every time I visit there, I take photos . In 2001 during a vacation there, I took many photos for my inspiration, as well as sat there , to paint. Since then every now and then, I feel myself inspired to make more artworks inspired by the landscape of Zichron. I made many artworks, in several techniques. This work started in 2001 ( using about 14 photos to build the composition), somehow, I didn't finished it until the last weekend. Usually I prefer to work and finish a work ( 99% - I finish a work ). I so much enjoyed working on it.. As I almost finished it, I felt strong urge to go take photos of these Canna flowers... YET, I remembered that the last time, I was at Zichron, that particular place... I could not reach those Cannas because of rebuilding there. BUT... I SIMPLY HAD TO take photos of Canna yesterday :-) and so, I find the way, to find other Cannas... :-))... And that's just a bit about how inspiration is LIVING And recreating itself inside of ME. For me one field of INSPIRATION, inspired another field of ART. Thanks for viewing, reading and commenting... May we ALL have a delightful day... Love, Nira.
