Have you guys seen pink mountains? Aren't they charming? Mystical? Topsy turvy and definitely one of a kind! In the world of arts and colours, all things are possible! "Pink Mountains", Poster Paint on Paper Without much to do, I remember painting these images way back high school. My first try on creating mountainous landscapes, which from then on has been a favorite theme. It's one of my creative outputs for being a certified nature lover. And these pink mountains make me smile :) 

Abstract art: "of curves and lines", watercolor on paper I have shared with you already an abstract painting from my previous post . This time, this artwork is more of the geometric side of the abstract theme. I made fun of the lines as well as watercolor techniques, letting water drip here and there, haha.

I remember my first ever attempt to work on an abstract theme...It was in the 90s and I was still in my elementary years. This was even before "abstract art" became famous and widely used. That was during one of our Art class session and I love the idea of it - creating something, not really knowing what it is. No obvious patterns or figures, just strokes here and there...letting your hands sway and draw freely... Abstract: "Color Splash", Watercolor on paper Comes year 2000 and many houses, buildings and establishments hang paintings with an abstract theme on them. Some are geometric and some lyrical. I created the above painting from one of the videos I saw which inspired me to create a piece of my own. I love the splash of colours and the sense of movement. One of my aunt told me she sees Jesus in it, trying to reach a hand...can you see what she was talking about? :)

I have always been a huge Jennifer Lopez fan! I must admit, when I was in college, everyone knew in the class that this "geek" type of me can go crazy over Miss J! I even recommended the track "If you had my love" to be the intro dance for our College dance contest, studying every night the moves from one of her live appearances complied in her then released vcd, which I was so proud to have. "wink" Portrait: Jennifer Lopez But that was years ago... I am little tamed now, haha! But I still love her...which I guess will make me now glue to the latest season of American Idol. Way to go Judge J.Lo! What about you, have you drawn a portrait of your favorite artist?

Mom has always been fascinated with growing different kinds of orchids in our garden. I may not have a green thumb, but I can definitely appreciate the " art of greens ". Garden Orchids, oil on canvas I tend to take pictures of orchids especially those that are in full bloom. From those photos, I try to give birth to another piece of art by painting them. I painted the orchid above with the help of a picture I've taken way back. Just after the sun sets, I saw the striking blue skies just behind a newly bloomed orchid, "This needs to be captured", I thought.
