Week 2

"A child's dream…"

As children, we are able to dream, to imagine, to wonder… Through those innocent eyes, we saw a world better than the real one. Everything seemed more colourful, more joyful.. and sometimes.. they seemed bigger than they are now..

Use your creativity to portray a dream you had, once as a child…


P.S. Sorry for the delay, I had technical difficulties getting on to the blog!

Next week, the spark will be held by Mawyam!

Deadline: Sunday 15th 2007

Love u all .. n good luck!

Like a flower...

Our hearts are like flowers, they are fed by love... Something i learnt from a true artist, known as Bidwiya..

....Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.

~ Derek Walcott

We tend to drift away.. with the people that surround us... We feed they're hearts with love, and forget to feed our own...

If we dont feed our own hearts ... then who will?!

"My release is through feeding my heart..with love.."


P.S. i am sorry for posting it so late.. i had technical difficulties..! =$

A lot of people tend to pretend that everything is ok.. that they are ok .. even if something happens to them which changes their lives forever.. they just keep smiling, hiding the pain they under-go .. pretending that nothing is wrong, it's all just perfect .. they may be bleeding on the inside, but their exterior reflects nothing but joy .. as they hope for the best, repeating to themselves, as if trying to stay in tact with sanity: this too shall pass.. this too shall pass.. this too shall pass..

Release of Thoughts..!

Oil on canvas

30 x 38

I sat facing the canvas - was Clueless ;( .. Release?

What could represent that..?

In my entire creative world, this has been the worst thing for me,

to think creatively !

It is indeed,

A - B R A I N - S T O R M

So, I chose not to paint it, but to actually live it..

&
started to release my thoughts.

Interestingly, everyone, so far, who has seen it

look at it cluelessly! Hmm, I wonder why?

They don't understand what it is

a n d s o d o I !

This is one corner of the canvas.. the rest is white!

Hopefully I will finish it soon..

Knock Knock..

Committment?!

Hello Artists! From the long list of names,

only few have published!

Good start! (says me sarcastically :P )

Come on artists!!

We need to see paintings,

encouragement,

committment,

excitement....

+ the spark that is with BOos!

Share it Boos! Don't let it go!

Mannequin

We at times can be emotionally manipulated...either by a person, in a theatre, while watching a movie, a film, or even while listening to something 'moving', a piece of music or a painting.

The background is a painted canvas, while i have adjusted colours by Adobe Photoshop...just a bit. hehe, i don't like to over do it using AP, it becomes fake - or let's be honest i'm not good at it!!

I hope you guys like what i have quickly come up with - eager to see more work. :)

Subconscious Release

Why is sleep so important to us? Dreams allow us to see what's on our subconscious. It is a purging of the day's activities, a spiritual release. By learning to release your mental attachment to people and situations, you ease your mind, promoting restful periods of sleep.


Just my two cents worth :)
