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.

Flowing Leaves (9x12 watercolor on paper)

 

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. :)

  2. elib talaga ako sa pagiging artist na ka avi… ganda pa ng kulay… like it pero next time gawa ka rin ng purple. hahahha

    ako ma water color hanggang ngayon… pero di magawa yang mga ganyan… bat kaya? hahahah

    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. :)

  13. Almost all of whatever you mention is astonishingly appropriate and that makes me wonder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. Your piece really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this specific topic goes. Nevertheless there is 1 point I am not really too comfortable with so while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central idea of the position, permit me see exactly what the rest of your subscribers have to point out.Nicely done.

    My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
