Photo taken of Art miniature titled: "Best friends"
made in oils, measures 2.5" by 3.5" Art Card on canvas paper,

One of my favorite works, titled: "No play no game" it will be displayed here later on,  it's about the importance to rest and give our selves time, the importance to play, to write, to walk, to run, because an cranky artist is not very happy and hence creativity flow, won't go trough.

Artist after all, yes we are indeed selfish in that matter, if we can't draw we become constipated emotionally and we can't think straight, we get depressed, we don't function, we don't react like others do, I'm sorry we  just don't, so the way to be happy and be better is by letting us do what we should, which is to paint!

Still life oil painting flowers and vase sketch on canvas paper

 

Titled: “Recovery”

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”

Art original oil painting First Harvest Cherries on Canvas

 

 

 

Titled: “First Harvest” 16” by 20” Oil Painting Sketch.

Cherries!  first harvest of  May, farms of South New Jersey.  For this portrait an experience made in to a memory. One of the goals here is to  invite You the viewer to experience the moment and enjoy it as much as the  character, different tones of blues, complementing, and lines that  are used to take you to the center subject, which are the cherries.

From the background down, points out to the center, in return once you get there, the leaves invites your view to stop and jump back and look at the background.

Color an important Psychological part of any painting.  Part of technical, The artwork focus rather in having fun, and enjoyment! Yes skill is required, but should not be  the overall important thing, errors and mistakes in my case are acceptable, because no matter how many years of experience we have, there is always room for improvement.

“The Queens of Spring”

Spring is the season that strives in colors and what better reason to take out the watercolors from that dusty compartment and give them back their dignity, in just right of time, they finally agreed to teach me a lesson of two with undertone. And the adventure, began!

 

The miniatures are the new experiment with color techniques and undertones, the results so far excellent, treating watercolors with the same care and respect as if oils. The advantage that the medium gives to light, absolutely no comparison.

titled: “Learning to see the wings”

 

A very good friend of mine, told me, “Learn to see the Butterfly  wings in people”, she told me then, what a butterfly really looks like, when you turn it over is an ugly worm. But when you look at the overall picture, is a beautiful creation.

Learning to see the good in others or learning to not judge others, is not always an easy task, but it is worth it! unless, you don’t talk and listen to people get to know them, there’s not much point on going with the thought of (he or she is just a bug), is negative and has no value, and not healthy for you.

Yet, must understand that sometimes, no matter how good we are to others,  not always you will, get a positive result.  If that is the case well, We must give attention to whom really appreciates the time, and respect us.

Don’t get me wrong, after the conversation, as a joke in reply I said, So,… what if, I picture that person as a water bug?  she nodded. 

Titled: “Learning to see the wings”, in watercolors on Canson 140lb paper, size is 5” by 7”, slightly darker, signed, cropped for better view, pre printed, acid free, post card,  Painting made in honor of my beautiful friend Kim.

Chocolate inspiration and New ACEOS for 2011-2012

 

 

Taking pictures a discovered hobby, My passion for food, red color and all things hand made, all about colors, and the reaction, Noticed that photographs that add warmth and a moment are rather the must popular. Not to mention, food photographs, but photos it self don’t mean much, unless you make it personal. Getting a glimpse of what your life looks like in the outside. There you can see flaws as well as personality. How red in a photo definitely adds that warmth and you expose the moment as well. Whereas red in a painting, can consume everything else, and inevitably becomes the center of attention.

The photos taken, with solid colors specially on the background. Aiming always to awaken that which is creativity, happiness, sadness or anything else at that moment, you can say, oh I can do better than that!  My purpose to action… to make you create, take photos, admire nature and continue playing with your imagination.

Here are some of the recent ACEOS all available on My E bay world, signed originals, the product of coffee and chocolate which are also favorite subjects.  All having the same color scheme, sort of like a mixed latte, some mint and  berries, to create them, colors like burnt sienna and ambers from Sennelier where used, also some Granulation medium for some of them to add texture.
