Merton Arts Festival Still On!
The Merton Arts Festival continues until this Sunday. You can see some of my paintings there. As I know most of you didn’t choose to cross the Channel this weekend, here’s a glimpse for you below: With PERL, we had a lot of fun doing some fluid art experiments. To be renewed! Thanks to the framers team for their hard work despite the busy schedule and last minute solicitations, festival oblige! Be creative! xx Malika Smith Like it? Share it!:0

Grandpa left us…
I can’t help remembering him again in the garden, teaching me the basics of gardening. He, dexterous, the gesture assured, his hands well placed on his rake (which was twice my size at that time…), observing me with a benevolent eye, while I, clumsy from all of my 3 years of age , was trying very hard not to stain my dear little varnished shoes in the soil… I still had a long way to go at that time…. So I painted this scene, based on a picture I like. Goodbye grandpa. M.S. Like it? Share it!:0

The Lady with Doggies and Other Gifts
Happy New Year to all! I hope you had a nice New Year’s Eve. Christmas now seems a bit far away… Here are some watercolors and other gifts made during the holiday season. I share a few: 1. The Lady with Doggies A3 watercolour painted for one of my grandmothers, fan of the 18th Century, with Louis XV, Louis XV,, etc. Cypris, the biggest of the two dogs died last November, so I thought it would be nice to have a picture bringing together all this nice little world, including the missing ones. 2. My grandparents because they made me understand long time ago that they would like me to make a painting of them. 3. My in-laws because they’re always teasing each other nicely, to find out who’s the most respectable of the two. 3. The daughter of a couple of friends I was so overwhelmed last year that I did not…
My colleagues are mermaids
Small gift that I realised for the birthday of my super colleague Steph who made a superb gradient of colors on her hair. As always, two versions: By the way, I learned that there were classes and mermaids contests and that professional mermaid was a real job! “- What do you do for a living? – Mermaid. ” It does make you dreamin’, doesn’t it? If you don’t know what to do this summer, buy fins and splash! Have a good summer! Malika Smith Like it? Share it!:0
