Clouds' illusions - from Katerina Nikoltsou

Bad films and music won't last very long in Katerina's house. She found a great way to recycle them into fantastic mail art and to give them a new and better life.

Katerina was inspired by Joni Mitchell's song "Both sides now". Clouds, life, love, and their illusions. It's a wonderful song, I can't listen to it too much because it tends to make me cry (like Emma Thompson in that film).


I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all



I love the choice of colors and the brush strokes. The clouds are floating so lightly, masterfully painted. 
And on the other side of clouds..... a rainbow, always.
Katerina, this is beautiful, I will cherish it, thank you for sending!

Joni Mitchell makes me cry, I'm too much of a softie :-))))

True Marie, I think Austin can always recommend a good song if there's a bad one in the brain! Hey Austin, now I'm singing Moondance, so Joni Mitchell is all yours! ;-)

That's good! I hate having annoying songs in my head all day. And usually it's all week! good songs are good :-))

Especially when it's "Into the Mystic" from the 'Moondance' album!!! You are right though, it could be MUCH worse!
