Winter Night, Watercolor Painting

It's finally done. The Winter Night in watercolor and ink is up for your viewing pleasure. I added another layer of blue-black paint on the background and another layer of cool green on the pine tree. From there I added dark shadows from the branches and snow resting on them. A few dozen snowflakes falling all around. I wanted it to be somewhat realistic but not exactly. To do that I decided to get imperfect shapes nature has to offer for the pine tree and abstract snowflake.

Abstract Painting, The Beach and the Palm Tree

The Beach and the Palm Tree is a painting I did for a challenge. The challenge was to paint ocean/beach. I decided to make it cartoony looking after I remembered all those cartoons about islands in the middle of nowhere I've seen when I was little. A swirl of sand and water on the background is what I imagine someone who is stranded on such island would bee seeing after getting a heat stroke

If you would like to hear more about this painting, feel free to watch this video where I describe it in more details

After a crazy day, I was finally able to make this video. Making this video was the real challenge. First I recorded it just to find out that the camera was breaking and was doing some crazy tricks. I went out to get a new one and on the way back almost got pooped on by a bird. Seriously, bird, have some respect. I mean, I'm vegan so that you can live and not be eaten, and what do I get in return? Anyway, when I got home with a new camera I realized that the microphone on this camera is rather bad, but I couldn't handle going out again, so I just worked with what I had. I'll have to get a new microphone some day because this is clearly not working too good. On the brighter side, my cat friend, Cuteness is performing a magic trick on this video, he magically disappears.

Snowflake, Work in Progress is Progressing

Well, This snowflake is going along nicely, even though I had no time to work on it. I'm almost done with this one, just need to add more shadows to the pine tree and fixing the shape of it, give the background another layer and add some specks of whitish blue in the background. I'm really liking where this is going and am thinking about doing another 10 of the same type for every month of the year and making a calender with them.

Apocalypse Update: Naturally since I'm planning on making a calendar I'm planing on living that long and hoping to have other people around who would want a calendar for the next year. Which also means that next year needs to happen. I'm totally banking on it. It would really suck if it didn't happen.

Two Lives, Two Paths, Abstract Painting/Drawing

Two Lives, Two Paths is finally up on line. It's done in watercolor and ink, which are becoming my favorite mediums. This painting was has led to me painting intertwined and has the same theme. It represents how different our lives are regardless of how close we are to one another. It shows how although interconnected our lives turn and twist into different direction. We go through the same difficulties, and yet we view them in different lights, we learn different lessons. A few years ago I heard someone say that if I were you I'd do the same exact thing that you did because I'd be you genetically, psychologically, I'd go through the same in life, I'd be raised the same way and I'd feel the same things. In reality however, this is impossible, because non of us can truly see things from another person's perspective because we aren't that person, because although we might know about this person's life, we will never truly know how it effected him or her.
This painting goes with this idea, we are all different and we all have different experiences in life.

Oh yes, and I have a youtube video where I explain more about this painting. This painting does have another meaning btw, I explain it in my video and give an example of how it worked it my own life.

Love, Ink and Watercolor Abstract Painting

On the days when I want to draw or paint but can't figure out what to paint, I do things like this, I draw and paint Love. I'm planing to have a whole collection of words done in abstract lines like this. It's simple and appealing to anyone who... oh I don't know anymore. It's a little frustrating, but here is the whole story. I really love my abstract pieces with deep meaning. Whenever I post it on art sites, I get tons of complements and people tell me how much they love the meaning and how it's represented. When it comes to sales though, the once with the least meaning seem to be selling while those I put so much thought and effort into are not. I'm not saying I don't like this painting or any other simpler abstracts I did, but if I was given a choice between two paintings by the same artist, at the same price done with in similar style, I'd choose the one that has more meaning in it.

Since I like both creating and selling art however, I guess I'll just be doing simple words every now and then when I don't have any better ideas. Well, at least I enjoy painting and drawing abstract whether or not is has a meaning behind it. So, there you go, I vented out my frustration, now I'll go set everything up for the next big project.

This painting is now for sale. You can get ether original or print. There is also a free frame and free shipping for the original if you sign up for the mailing list. I hope this one will sell, because there is that set of color ink pens I had my eyes on... my other set is starting to run out and that brand (Le Pen) isn't easy to find, especially in all the colors I'd like, so as much as I liked those I will have to get a different one this time.
