Chani's Creative Space

Things are so often neither black nor white, but grey in many shades - like the sky and sea today (orange weather warning). Art is a way to survive and resist, and humour sometimes surprises you where you least expect it. Carihuela Beach, today

Some days are grey and dull, but the lack of light gives the streets a surreal touch. Being in a town early, meeting no one but two cat and three dogs. Going back to where you thought you had memories, not finding them, but finding other riches buried. Salobreña. Again, I would have liked to stay! The passage called "Bóveda" Near the "Bóveda" Near the castle A romantic spot, also near the castle Was is the "smallest street"? Not sure, but in any case, it was small enough.

February is here again, too warm and too dry again - and living means so much energy needed. The artist is like a hunter on the lookout, waiting for the moment when lies will be exposed.  Lies

When dark clouds come (bringing some rain or not) with the night to embrace our town, I always feel a bit frightened and happy at the same time. Days are short at the moment, but skies are precious and every walk has a taste of adventure. Paseo marítimo de la Carihuela, Torremolinos (Andalusia, Spain)

The @animaloonies challenge has started again today, and my first contribution (#Mythicaloon for January) is the Island Fish Jasconius. He is funny and illustrates perfectly how I feel at the moment. Happy New Year again to you all!

Thank you, year 2021, for obliging me (again) to learn to resist, following the voice of my conscience and only that. Thank you to all who have been there, creating positive art and sending me good vibes despite of the circumstances! I wish you a happy, peaceful, healthy and successful New Year 2022!  Here two pictures taken today in Antequera (Andalusia, Spain). We had 23 ºC there while the coast was disappearing in the fog. Enjoy!  

December also means that twelve funny animaloons have been drawn since January, the second Tuesday of each month, yeah! I had no time this year to participate to more brilliant challenges, unfortunately, as I had to spend more energy than usual for other tasks. Hopefully 2022 will be less stressful. But here they are, my twelve animaloons! Enjoy!
