My heartfelt prayers are with those affected by the hurricane, things appeared as in back to normal, but… there’s a silence here, in the south. The fire department and local schools, are continually taking donations for those affected by the hurricane. I Hope you are safe and sound.

This artwork is available for auction http://myworld.ebay.com/vargasartstudio and possibly part of the earnings will be donated, won’t give more details in which or where, because I am a big believer of the golden rule,and “what the right hand do, don’t let the left hand know”. 

Be grateful. As usual thank you for your time, hope you continue pushing the medium of preference.

Still life oil painting flowers and vase sketch on canvas paper

 

Titled: “Recovery”

recovery2

Well just like the titled of the painting that is what is happening in my own life, learning to do everything and each and every day is a new experience, yet I have learned to appreciate even more the value of life it self and how beautiful is been able and share my talent with all whom care.

For the upper painting chose one of the life arrangements that a dear friend of mine got me to cheer me up, looking at the vase noticed how blue is the predominant color so chose that to be the theme of the painting, a lighter background, focusing in the petals and the pink ribbon surrounding it, the second painting has more a darker background as well and is titled “learning”, Shadows come to play and a mix of raw sienna and burnt umber played a big role in both paintings.

Grateful to be able and continue with Art and to share this with you, knowing that there’s more progress to come and my life has been completely rearranged for the better.

 

 Titled: “Learning”

Oil painting still life with tea pot

 

Titled: “Tea for one”

The artwork story should become part of who we are at all times, it gives more depth and meaning. From the tittle to the extra stroke you put in there, there’s got to be a meaning.  Art with out substance is “tasteless” so the art making goes beyond of just “I like to do it” or it “is my therapy” or “I am very good at it etc….

Since the beginning to an end, every artist has a story, and no artist is ever boring, we all have it and this should be enticing, even in what you might call your despair. If there’s a mystery or silent in your brush strokes from the materials you use to prime your canvas, the mixture of your darkest darks or any other feelings or attitudes you choose to create your art with.

“ We are story tellers” tell your story well…

Compelled your viewer to say this is meaningful this has substance, this is great and will love to have it!

Oil painting two women

 

“on the Atsion lake”

actionpaint2

Say yes to random! see what else is there in your reference photos?  There is a vast potential for more than just one painting in one single photo, action painting is a way of keeping your mind, fresh and full of ideas. 

For this painting Anders Zorn came back to mind a master in completing he's figures with a limited palette  and whom I’ve had the pleasure to study for the past several years. The randomness in action of  must of he’s nudes figures gave me the zing to try this one out, abstracting as much as possible every trace of detail.
