Facade

i didnt have watercolor paper so the paper wrinkled quite abit resulting in a sorta puffed cheek look..?it also created random tiger looking lines...that a less than observant eye couldnt see(i hope)...and dont go and try to find the lines now either please:D

Daydream...

so this was an experiment... its done in watercolour...something iv never done before...and iv never painted a face before either..
So two new things in one painting! yay!
i decided that i love watercolour tho:)
i stayed up late painting this cause i couldnt get it outa my head until it was done...and it didnt help that i was inspired quite late in the eve...

It turned out too crowded but still it was fun to do so i dont care what it looks like:D


gotta live and learn


anyway 'nuf talking...
happy day dreams everyone:)

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep

And can't tell where to find them  

Leave them alone and they'll come home

Wagging their tails behind them.

tis another illustration i did for school....the colours of the painting didnt scan well onto the computer sadly..:( 

anyway, peace<3 

Little bros work

Peter Pan

''A moment after the fairy's entrance the window was blown open by the breathing of the little stars, and Peter dropped in. He had carried Tinker Bell part of the way, and his hand was still messy with the fairy dust.''

click here to read the Magical original story of Peter Pan http://www.readbookonline.net/title/6/

For art i had to illustrate a phrase from a fairy tale....3 of them actualy...so more fairy tale illustrations coming up!I had to use a cartoon-y sorta style and thus i used a cartoon-y sorta style! which is in fact much easier than realistic style!(surprise surprise!)

but yes I'v always loved fairy tales and Peter Pan is one of my favorites:) 

the illustration doesn't do justice to the delightful-ness of the story...and i dont know what he's hiding behind his back...maby his fairy-dust glowing hand...? :D if i hadnt been so lazy i would have changed that particular position.

Abstract

So i painted a piece of abtractness :)

01-17-2012 Abtract art has always intrigued me...What was the artist thinking when they painted it?or where they even thinking anything?maby they were just throwing paint on a canvas..?
i always wonder...and try and guess although i never find out how close or far my guess was...
but anyway! im giving you guys a chance to guess And find out how close your guess is:D (what fuN!*snort*)
so if you feel the urge you people can try and guess what i was thinking when i painted it and what the painting is supposed to say...Or you can just say what it means to you..which may be the same thing(wait!does that even make sense?)
and then later i shall post what it means...maby...i may change my mind...but probably not(tsk tsk the frivolousness of me)...


01-21-2012 ok the guessing game being over i shall now post the meaning of this piece of art...

Confusion

Rage

Massive messes

           Screaming, Crying, Yelling

The continuous sound goes on and on

   Confusion swirls

Intense feelings cloud the brain

  Violence

           Resentment

 A painful pounding, Headache

Oh why isn't there quiet?

         Where? where did the peace go?

Dark and empty

   All around, a clashing din

Nowhere to find rest

     Groping in the blackness

Squeezing eyelids tight

     Forlorn whimpers inside my head

The confusion crashes on 

    To much noise

To many voices

 To much

The turmoil continues

        Cluttering my soul

  

But then,

  Way in the distance

              beneath the ugly 

Comes....

       A soft still Voice

Trickling through the anger

 LIGHT

   The swirling mess 

            fades away...

 hope enters 

Peace has come.

P.S. i hate making art that looks ugly to me, as did this piece, but there was no way i could make it any other way and have it mean the same thing...

Monkey

Followed a Star

 MeRrY ChRiStMaS!!!

Unto us a child is born. Unto us a son is given

May we all follow Jesus like the Wise men followed his Star

post inspired by Brandon Heath's song "The Night Before Christmas"

Cutesy

hi guys!
this is a quick sketch i did today... its been to long since iv posted a drawing...
i stumbled upon this pic and could not resist trying my hand at drawing it...anything i find beautiful or cute or awesome i Have to recreate. Not sure why, but thats how it is...
wish i knew who the original artist was cause i have a feeling id like other art pieces of theirs...
anyway i wish i was posting more regularly but lately iv been inspired to paint. And paintings always take much longer than drawings...I'm working on two paintings right now so hopefully il finish them soon!

Love

Today i was once again shown Jesus' huge unimaginable love...
Me, my sisters and my friend went to an old invalid lady's house. This old lady is actually not that old, i later found out to my great amazement. She is around 45 to 50 but she looks like 80. She is slowly dying of cancer, spending all day and all night in her little bed, for years. She can't get out of her bed much less the house, all she can do is lay there. And the only person to help her is her husband who is unwell himself...and  who is often drunk.      
 We walked into the little house and i was hit with a overpowering stench. I gagged at the cloying smell of body waste, vodka, smoke and chickens. I prayed desperately that Id stop gagging so the couple wouldn't see and so i could sing. God answered that prayer quickly(thank you Jesus) and i was able to ignore the smell and say 'Good Day' to Luba(that's the lady's name). We all grouped around the tiny,shriveled, white haired lady and i could see she was not getting the care she should be, not even close. When we started to sing she burst into tears and hid her face beneath the ragged blanket.As our voices filled the room Jesus gave me a glimpse of how much He loved this little forgotten dying lady. Tears pricked the backs of my eyelids as i saw her through His eyes and felt His sorrow knowing she didn't belong to him.
  After the songs my friend sat down to talk to her. I couldn't understand everything she said since im not very advanced in Ukrainian but i got the drift that she was telling her about God's grace and how Jesus loved her so much he died for her. And if she wanted to be His all she had to do was pray that He forgive her sins. My tears spilled over as Luba prayed and became one of His own. I saw peace flood her watery blue eyes and i smiled through my tears. She asked for another song so we sang one more and then left with the promise to come again.
 It made me feel so small to be part of something so big. The experience left me humbled. It is my prayer that i can be the hands and feet for Jesus.

p.s. As you can see i didnt post a piece of art...i havent had time lately to create anything...although i am working on two paintings, they are not near done yet...so yep no artwork for this post i guess...hope that's okay.. peace<3

reading...

To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries

hi people :)
i enjoy reading immensely! how about you? Its a delightful chance to travel to other places, to be lead through magical experiences and see the world through someone else's eyes...

btw i drew this picture for school.... a quick sketch...

peace out<3

Happiness

hey everybody! here is a painting that i worked on for about a year!i now know it even better than i know the back of my hand(much much better in fact!...where did that saying come from anyway?obviously from someone who was obsessed with staring at the backs of their hands..?*giggle*)
Yeah..it took forever!SO glad to have it done!! it was actually very sporadically worked on...didnt work on it for 3 months in the middle when i was in ukraine...as you may guess its sorta hard to work on a painting that is hundreds of miles away...heh heh..
My bro david http://binarysoda.blogspot.com/ drew it(cheers dave!) and i did the painting of it...
Um it was way to big(around 3ft by 2ft..?) to scan so i just took a picture...it doesn't show the colours very well(i promise they look better in real life) and i apologize for the blurriness...
we plan on selling it if i can find a gallery(or whatever) to display it... That will be a new thing indeed!...selling artwork...but yeah we'll "give it a go" :)  And maybe if it works i can sell more stuff...maybe...only then id have to be alot less sloppy and stuff...hmm novel idea!:D

p.s. in the meantime while i look for a place to sell the painting, it is displayed here and for sale to anyone who wants it...
Acrylic on canvas
About 61cm by 91cm
Price $400

Ashley

hey Ashley! Taylor said quite awhile ago that you wanted you name done in graffitti so here it is:D sorry it took so long...:)
peace<3

Colourful

heey guys! its finally time for another post! its only been waaaay to long!
 So anyway this is a painting i did for school(imagine that!*shocked voice*)...it is quite different looking in real life..the scanner sadly can't transfer the colours as nicely as hoped(the yellow and green parts dont show well at all..sigh)..And this painting is quite large,about 1.5 ft by 2 feet...or something like that..
 This assignment had lotsa rules. i had to divide the face into quarters and then paint each quarter with a different colour scheme and tool(i could NOT use any brushes)...so i painted one section with a Q-tip(yay for those handy things!), one with my finger(also a handy thing *no pun intended* snort!), one with a sponge(bleh it was terrible unhandy!), and one was done with fabric ...and you know this is the first face iv ever painted! they sure made it hard enough *grimace* lol
it was fun though! maybe i will paint more faces this style! you just never know...

k peace <3

Self-portait

the first drawing is a *coff* self-portrait i drew when i was 12 or 13 and the second portait is one i drew for school just the other day!its kinda hard to tell them apart but...the new one is at least a little better to show the progress made through the years...heh heh!:) when i found the old portrait i laughed muchly:)  so yeah in a few years from now i probably will look back on this new portrait and laugh once more...or at least i hope i will cause i do want to keep on learning and getting better at drawing and art in general!so yeah anyway...im sorry both these portaits are quite sober and calm...im not usually that way:D but yeah aanyway you all have a delightful day! x0x0
