It is a JOY...

... that I wish to share with all people who have helped me to be an active artist and to organize exhibitions, and with those all over the world who have seen my works. The JOY that I got from the e-mail I read this morning was so great and so real that the whole universe became full of it.😊💟
Namely – I got an answer from the VDMFK via e-mail. Recently I wrote to the Association about how I am and what I’ve been up to. They are very satisfied with the way I present myself and the VDMFK to the public (including my exhibitions), and they congratulated me for my achievements. And, they are waiting for my new paintings.
Believe me, it is very important for me and a JOY that such a humble artist as me is being noticed by the Association of Mouth and Feet painting Artists.
It energized me a lot😊
This week I am also celebrating a little anniversary that it’s worth to be thoughtful and thankful about. To be happy. On September 1^st it will be 10 years since I joined the VDFMK. Little by little I am even getting used to being an artist. Still, there are moments when I wonder whether being an artist is not just a dream...
Yesterday 8 years ago I opened my first exhibition at the Lille Maja Youth Centre in Tartu.
I wish to give a gift of a flower and a hug to all the dear ones who have helped me to organize the 43 exhibitions.😊💗 It has been a huge job and even a somewhat tough cooperation which we still have always managed with laughter and dedication.

And, many thanks to the VDFMK for giving me a chance to test my courage and my talent as an artist !

At the opening of my first exhibition at the Lille Maja, Helena gave me a flower that I still keep. 

 

A cryptic dream... Or a cryptic mixed media painting: does it make sense and is it ready... But I am afraid to spoil it if I add some more dashes...

Hello over a long time

From this very moment my blog in English has a new address: www.tiiajarvpold.eu. Thanks a lot to Margus who has helped me to do it and agreed to offer further help and advice if needed. And, he is supporting my blog, too.

Here I will be writing about important events and moments. I have a blog in my mothertongue, so I regard that one as the most important. I have not written anything in English for quite a long while, and there have been lots of important things happening meanwhile so I will not write about all of them - lots of things keep happening all the time anyway. I hope you will understand why I start blogging anew from this moment.

I wish you all good reading and following, and lots of love in your hearts.😀

Christmas cards campaign

Once again Christmas is just around the corner. And the VDMFK campaign has started again. Why is it that the disabled people themselves are so embittered and negative ? I hoped that this year would be different... But no, people are just as they used to be. Why is there so much envy towards those who achieve something ? I would very much like to know if in other countries there is also so much negativism as here in Estonia... I wouldn't say that there has been ONLY negative feedback, but still, these negative voices are so loud – although I do my best to avoid paying more attention to them than they deserve. These commentators should stop for a moment and think about their own dignity – and not only in relation to this campaign.

For example, I am glad that in Estonia also some writers and artists are going to get paid by the State – this means that their work is noticed and valued. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, I have not read the comments about this topic, but I have heard that there is also lots of bitterness and envy . What's the difference whether a painting has been made by hand, foot or mouth ? The result is what matters, and the joy the artist's work brings to those who enjoy it. As an artist I still believe and hope that postcards as such are not going to vanish from our life altogether, but instead, they keep developing, and that sometimes, for example, when Christmas is near, we think about a relative or a friend who is not an avid Internet user.
