Have a nice weekend and a good start into the next week. Much light!
Here is another water colour portrait I did: this time my husband. I think the proportions are not as my art teacher would have liked them to be, but I am happy with the lines and the "bleed" mixing of colours. I thought I would talk about the technique and why I chose to do them. I found a piece of paper that another student had obviously discarded and on this piece of paper there was a step by step instruction on how to create water colour portraits. I just followed them to get these portraits. I worked with photos on my mobile device. Have a nice weekend and a good start into the next week. Much light!

I have had the good fortune to experience unconditional love in this life time. This is a portrait of my older sibling who has been a special child and now a special person: a person capable of giving love unconditionally. She has kept our family relationships intact and shown us the things that really matter in life, for e.g. the blessing of experiencing unconditional love everyday. Much light Today I am posting a water colour portrait of my 10 year old son. I consider myself a normal, down to earth person (I confess, I tend toward being a tiny bit neurotic: I worry sometimes and am working on this negative trait). But when it comes to remaining calm and balanced regarding decisions about my son, I find it very challenging: this cheerful and lively, bubbly child turns into a monster when it comes to choosing clothes to wear, or when it is time to turn away from all those electronic devices children use today and do something else like reading, practicing for music lessons or sometimes even speaking in a normal tone of voice. Some tell me this is a normal process of growing up! Any suggestions as to how I can master this challenging responsibility of remaining a balanced and sane soul? I love him to the end of the world! Much light! In summer last year I was working on a small series of works that were developed by using autonomous symbols: I chose a multi pronged shape that to me were roots. I was obsessed (still am) with the beauty of how trees sap their nutrients from the soil and according to latest research even communicate with each other using their roots. We as human beings are "rooted" in many ways: in our families, friends, beliefs and faith, in our support of political parties and in many more countless number of ways. Each of these make us what and who we are. And in a way that we are yet to fathom, we are all connected to each other at a very fundamental level. Much light! |
