Art Project: Flowing Leaves

bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark

Whenever I try my hand at painting, I’m always partial to watercolor as my medium. It usually occupies my spare time or when I’m in the mood to [try to] create an artwork.

I did one last summer. It’s not as remarkable as a pro’s work, but as I was looking at it the other day, it became clear to me why I chose this particular subject and picked those hues from the box of watercolor tubes, gathered  several paintbrushes, and started working.

This piece, which I named “Flowing Leaves,” was done almost four months ago, the same time I had to make a major decision. It is now that I realized why I picked those leaves from the garden and painted the watercolor pad in blue: because at that time, I was turning over a new leaf; taking my life in a new direction. I thought that although the water in the stream has a particular destination, I have decided to go against the current and create my own channel.


So far, I’m loving the decision I made. Life is good (and the Almighty’s making it even better). I couldn’t be more grateful. :)

    naalala ko tuloy yung sinabi ni laurice guillen kay jay ilagan sa stella L… ” hindi mahirap magdesisyon, ang pangatawanan yun, yun ang mahirap”. naisip ko tuloy… buti na lang di ako nagmadre. hehhe. pero kung ano ang gusto mo, sundin mo…awwwww! laban-laban

      Pag ginaganahan lang, saka nakakagawa ng mga ganyan.sige, purple naman ang next, next. may nauna na kasi. :D

      agree ako dyan sa linya ni direk laurice. todo-todong lakas ng loob ang kailang pag nagdesisyon.

      Buti pala talaga di mo naisipang magmadre. masisira ang reputasyon ng kumbento. :D

      Really, pwedeng pagkakitaan?
      Thank you for appreciating my so-called “art.” I’m no pro.

      Bumalik ka ulit sa pagdo-drawing. Although the computer’s makes the work easier, I still prefer the traditional.

      Maarte lang siguro o di ko ma-control ang mouse. :D

      Hi, lambing. Salamat sa pagbisita at salamat sa pag-appreciate ng painting.
      Naniniwala ako na walang taong walang art sa katawan. We’re all artist in our own right. I-rediscover mo ang passion sa pagdo-drawing. I’m sure nandyan pa rin yan, nagpahinga nang kaunti. :)
