When She Paints





This Painting is dedicated to all those beautiful people that have stood by me, at all times, even during a period in my life where it was difficult to see light. The background used is as High" as possible finished under the sun, in my back yard...



with the same passion that this guy has!! on this video take a look at the pianist! I get like that when I paint...es indescriptible! Only those whom paint/write/musicians/work with hands/etc... understand the feeling. when you are done with something you created and stare at it, and say hmmm' yes this is it, when you use all you're senses when you go on the Zone whatever you might call it. It does gives respect makes it all worth it.

Landscapes



The fields of Poppies is a combination of a landscape in PA and also a beautiful panorama from my Mornings Runs, Where you can see this flowers grown in just one place, absolutely breath taking. Noticed the washes where kept thinly rather, watery for both of them. My main focus was the sky and how the droplets of water seem to elongate the view...done in Canson 90Lb 185 G measures'12" X 18" 30,5 X45,7 cm for both paintings.


Very light washes almost transparent even tho is gouache' The Light blues conveys peaceful and rest within the yellowish to green planes. This is all about colors and how to add them in compositions.



The Landscape was taking from a quick photograph in our family trip to Pennsylvania. I just love the amazing fields of corn and farms, they have and thought to portray the peace in them, The original picture has many cows in them. Want to leave that particular one' for another painting later on.

The trees where elongated and added in a large medium, and small continuously... trying and separate the fields on the background with the trees to give a nice flow of view to the painting. This Paintings will be soon framed and or matted to be featured in Etsy for details.

Thanks for viewing my work and for keeping up with me, it is truly a pleasure' I have met so many wonderful beings so many names that will fill out this entire page, and for that I'm So Very Grateful, Painting is my life, with in me since very little, I don't know anything else, a painters life is think, eat, breathe and paint Art.

My Insanity is curable'




In real life..

Since We moved here and it has being over 3 years. My neighbors see me as a strange thing' and they are probably right...but let's keep to the topic..shall we'.. what they see is me with a bunch of broken junk, seemingly looking at the sun, like I'm on a quest or playing pirates!, with Canvases big and small' orchestrating what appears to them' a big looney show. All dressed up photographing the floor!!!

At least for the one's in the front yard this is well' hmmmmm normal" even the neighborhood crackhead ask me what was I on??... So all is cool' I guess' at the moment. but, the backyard neighbor.. She just stares at me' with an AWE' on her face' siting on her porch'. This happens frequently specially wile writing in a journal ... and then taking out a big peace of paper and splatter paint, on it, I'm pretty sure' is clear to her I'm nuts!

I' got this somewhat smile' in my face, of satisfaction on not pay much attention to the matter because, what They don't know is that I'm actually working! oh' and should be thankful I don't take the congas out or the maracas' that will give something to talk about, no?

But Really' what I see'... is the Lights where it's coming from?, interesting objects', Linear... perspective, different tonality of blues in the sky, It is great to take pictures laying the canvas on the ground, much more clearer, To grasp that northern day light sometimes is so difficult, specially with a crappy camera like mine, those Shadows casts with movement, compositions, How the paint behaves in different surfaces, techniques, a great start an need to write down process, painting formulas, because my life is not programmed on the contrary, it needs spontaneity' to be free' breathing the Air to connect with the simplicity of nature, to be whom I am in peace' unclogged of the unnecessary' and being able to Create.
