Each year the American Art Awards Advisory Board selects the 20 Best Galleries And Museums In America ——  and then these 20 galleries and museums vote on online images, launching new artists, giving cash prizes, prestige and career validation to 300+ artists (1st to 6th Place in each of 50 categories).

This painting became one of the 300 best paintings. The painting did not take 1st place in its category, and not even second, like my other painting this year in the World Art Award. My artwork only took 6th place. But in any case, I am glad that the painting was evaluated by a commission of 20 galleries and museums, and they noticed my work and included it among the best paintings.

I'm excited to announce that my first book has been published on Amazon!
For the past two months, I have been learning how to create books while simultaneously working on this one, but my learning journey continues.
Launching a book turned out to be quite a challenge. The sales platform for my work is on Amazon, where competition is fierce and Amazon has its own rules. Therefore, I would be grateful for your support in the form of purchasing the book and leaving subsequent reviews.
My book contains more than 50 Dot to Dot puzzles designed for all ages and is divided into 5 chapters, each representing different stages of life.
Childhood occupies only about 20% of our lives, so there aren't many puzzles for children, roughly 20% of the book. The remaining 4 chapters and 80% of the puzzles are more suited for adults.
I would appreciate it if you could find my book on Amazon using the search phrases:
Dot to Dot for Adults and Kids
or
Dot to Dot for Family
The book cover is attached to the post. However, since the book is new, it may be hard to find on the first and subsequent pages. If you enter the key phrase and filter by category: Activity book,
it will be found more quickly.
My pseudonym is MariDani Art.

There is one more small issue:
Amazon is currently showing the more expensive book first, which is supposed to be an additional premium gift option in hardcover, while the main, lower-cost option with a paperback cover is shown as a secondary option.
I have no control over this. Amazon decides which of the books it wants to show first. But I hope this will change over time. So please be careful when purchasing and select the Paperback option for £7.95.
Thank you in advance to everyone who buys my book and leaves a review! I really hope you enjoy the book, take a break from your phones, and spend a few delightful evenings with this engaging activity!

I added at my Redbubble.com store a few new designs. This is one of them.
This picture is a complex pattern with bike themes. Intersecting circles and lines form an abstract image of moving bike wheels. The black-and-white color scheme highlights the details and dynamics of the pattern. It’s perfect for bike lovers.

It took a lot of time to create the sunflower. Flower successfully attracted attention at the Christmas event, which ended last Sunday. I have a lot of paintings with sunflowers, so I decided to put a sun flower in place of the Christmas tree. It is in winter that you always want more comfort and sunny days!
At the moment, a sunflower decorates my living room-workshop and I want to believe that soon it will decorate the window of some store or salon!

Today is the last day of packing before the event I am participating in. I was lucky enough to meet a wonderful professional who put some of my paintings in decorative frames and agreed to participate with me! The paintings are now complete! Frames in paintings are like an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence! I am absolutely delighted!

What is the purpose of framing a painting?

1. Protection - a frame helps a valuable painting to remain valuable

This one is obvious: a frame provides better preservation of the work, and in multiple ways. The frame adds extra rigidity to the structure.

It prevents the subframe - the part on which the canvas is stretched - from moving, thus avoiding deformation.If the canvas falls, the frame protects the corners of the canvas. This happens more often if the work stands on the floor, a chest of drawers, or hangs in a place that is often walked past, for example, on the wall of a staircase.

2. Creating a boundary between painting and the rest of the world

The frame plays the role of a visual barrier between the painting and the rest of the world and helps the viewer to on the artist's , on what he wanted to express. The wider the frame, the stronger the boundary.

3. Incorporating it into the interior of the house

Oddly enough, this function does not contradict the one above. Along with building the boundaries of the , the frame helps it become part of a bigger thing - the house it is in. This happens through the colour of the , its material, and the design. With the help of decoration you can make friends with the interior even conditionally not fitting into it in terms of style painting. And you can expand its space by repeating the main of the painting in the colour of the baguette.

4. Choosing a is an of your individuality

Statement

My paintings are diverse, original and positive. There is no single style or direction - esoteric, landscapes, children's themes, etc. All works are united - this is the desire to convey positive emotions, good mood and the belief that paintings will become not only a decor in the interior, but also a talisman to attract joy and well-being to its owner. Often symbols are laid in them for realizing good changes in life and increasing mental energy. In them you can find calm and pleasure, energy and expression, warmth and sincerity, airiness and frivolous childishness, sometimes mystical and mysterious, and sometimes obvious and familiar.
