I am finally on a vacation. Things get done but I also have time to just relax. Wish I had some pictures to share about the projects I am doing, but it is way too early to share.

But here's a link to a project I intend to start. Perhaps there are others who might find this do-it-yourself-project (DIY) interesting and useful.

Foliorum Viridium

Oh, Lovecraft, my friend in time.

—To the Old Pagan Religion

Olympian gods! How can I let ye go

And pin my faith to this new Christian creed?

Can I resign the deities I know

For him who on a cross for man did bleed?

How in my weakness can my hopes depend

On one lone God, though mighty be his pow’r?

Why can Jove’s host no more assistance lend,

To soothe my pain, and cheer my troubled hour?

Are there no Dryads on these wooded mounts

O’er which I oft in desolation roam?

Are there no Naiads in these crystal founts?

Nor Nereids upon the Ocean foam?

Fast spreads the new; the older faith declines.

The name of Christ resounds upon the air.

But my wrack’d soul in solitude repines

And gives the Gods their last-receivèd pray’r.

- H.P. Lovecraft

"Aures habent et non audient"

Poor man's do-it-yourself: 
a found bottle and the remains of my window-paint from the earlier post "The Full Circle".

I apologize for the blurry photo, but I wasn't sure if I would even put this picture here so I took only one quick shot. I wanted to share this if there are anyone who can't afford to buy actual artistic occult-bottles - which was my inspiration on this one - and who, like me,  like to do stuff for themselves just to get things for themselves as quickly as the first inspiration comes to mind. Things, that are not perfect, but still they please me. Which is the main reason for doing anything. All the books I've been painting all the paintings and what-not's have always been just for me. And yet I think I might not be the only one. So if anyone gets an idea from this technique I used, I hope I could help somehow.

If I weren't so lazy as I am, this un-perfectionist, I could take a better picture. But enough about explaining my lack of carefulness! I had mostly red window-paint left so I used that although I would have preferred to use black paint instead. Although I do like the colour red, I still don't like to use it much. Mostly in paintings but otherwise my home hasn't got many red things.

At some other time I could show the books I've been painting. I think I wrote some other posts about finding free used books to decorate, so to speak, so that's an interesting project which I recommend to anyone out there, who might like to make some artistic-books for themselves. No reason to throw old books away when you can give them a new life.

Unfinished painting. My summer-vacation project. Or - one of the projects. I intend to do some fast oil-paintings from my photographs. I've wanted to organize an art-exhibition for quite some time, for years actually, and I still want that. The difference being is that now I feel like myself and have the energy to try to do that.

I shouldn't share unfinished paintings (and blurry pictures) yet I felt this one portraits the latest things in my life and mind. I'm also running short on new pictures to add here. And since I am more visual with my expressions it would be kinda foolish to communicate without pictures.
