In the vast ocean of blogs I thought that no one will notice if mine disappears. It is sometimes difficult to know and understand that real people look at our art and read our words. After receiving several warm and worried emails, I thought about it and felt bad for leaving without good bye.
I have been blogging for six years, and in that time had a privilege to meet many amazing people. I learned a lot from you and benefited from your feedback and kindness so many times... I am deeply grateful for it. I am not sure what happened, but at this point I feel a need to pull back, to go inside, to think. I have always been an introvert and I guess that side is pulling strongly right now.
I will continue to create, and will keep both of my etsy shops open, but will not post any more.
I wish you all the best.
Thank you.
Zorana

  4. I've missed you also, waiting for you to show some new paintings. But I do understand, it's your right to decide whether to post or not.
    I'll be here waiting for you if you ever change your mind. I love your art and I'm proud to be owner of some originals of yours.
    Have a great time and enjoy. You are the most important and should take care of yourself.. and family. You'll be missed but don't take this as an obligation to return.

  7. You are missed!! This face is so beautiful. My first thought was OH! I don't remember a profile from you before. Then I looked up at your banner and sure enough there wasn't one. She is stunning and I'm in love with the way you did her hair.

  10. I just thought you were busy painting! I will miss you and your beautiful art but I also understand how much time and energy it takes to keep a blog going. You've always been such a big supporter of me and my art and I thank you for that. If you decide to pop in once in awhile to do a blog post, I'll be there to read it. I already miss you!

    Sometimes we do need to step back a bit. There are so many of us out here that will miss you. Take that break and consider coming back even if its only once a month, we'd love to hear how you are doing.

    Wishing you the best,

  18. I will really miss your posts. I didn't comment very often but I was subscribed and always came by to admire your art. Last year, I closed down my old blog and found that I really missed the interaction, even if it was only occasionally, so I eventually started a new one. :) Perhaps you'll miss it too and be back after some time off. Best of luck in everything.

  20. Zorana - I have followed your blog for years. I never commented because I'm shy - even in the anonymity of the web - but I can't miss this chance to tell you thank you for sharing your art. You have been a constant source of inspiration, especially with your angels and little crowned birds! And your roses! And your videos! Again, thank you for all of the artful joy you have spread to others. Best wishes for much happiness in the future!

  23. Oh RATZ! I look forward to your blog but I also understand the need to pull back, I am trying also. The computer takes a lot of time and though it can be inspiring it also creates a creative block more times than not...at least for me. It has it's good points and it has it's bad points. I wish you well, maybe I will see you at allnorahsart or some online class! Take care! You will be missed!
