  • ABOUT THE IDEA: on August 11, 2024, a Plein Air of luminescent paintings took place at Meža māja, where 12 artists participated. And, I am glad that I was approved for Plein Air participation. Artists were offered to paint the characteristic plants and animals of the Ķemeri National Park. We painted on used information boards in this way - giving them a new creative life! Everyone could choose what to paint. Before the Plein Air, we were invited to send our sketches of our ideas. I choose to paint Marsh-marigold flowers, that bloom in the spring time, because the yellow color is very dear to me and these small flowers decorate our  National Park especially beautifully in the spring! In the process of painting, Blue-tailed damselfly landed on my hand! With the trowel I used to paint flowers at the time, I quickly sketched the little damselfly, while he posed for me. So, you can see such a quick portrait of a damselfly in my painting. Also, I had not planned to paint a bird, but in the process, I remembered that I have a Great Tit living in my garden already for several years and delights our with its songs all year round! Well, you can see a Great Tit also in my painting! I paint with acrylic, oil and luminescent colors, also I used the Graphic print technique with a small Graphic hand-roller and by mixing these colors and techniques together  and each one separately, I give the painting the mood of our Ķemeri National Park, with fallen trees, various leaves, water, a sense of distance, that there, behind the trees, there is something mysterious. It was a beautiful experience for me!
  • EXHIBITION: August 24, from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. the opening the exhibition took place! In the dark, under UV light, a painting showed many small fragments that daylight hides. Surprises are only visible in the dark! The music, especially in low bass, that accompanied the opening of the exhibition, only added to the sense of mystery!
  • THE EXHIBITION WILL BE VIEWED: until October 6. All 12 artists' paintings will be illuminated in the dark evenings!
  • Thanks to the organizers for the wonderful idea!
