winter bloom.

practice canvas, the past few days, i kept obsessing on flowers and thinking about my grandmother whom i havent visited for the longest time. i got to see her last march when she came over though.
how she loves to landscape. she was sick the past months.. and i thought to myself how sad it mustbe that she coudnt work on her garden. i planned to give her the blooming since she loves to hang baskets around the house. was thinking of putting it where my grandfather’s urn is. anyway.. my aunt was here a whike ago and she to,d me that she was landscaping and is out in the garden again…. and i got to do this.. finally satisfied with it…

letting go.
All the art of living lies
in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.

let it fall.
a decade of walls, she let it fall
series of numbness…
she thought she had it under control

20130415-042835.jpg
restless soul.
Day in, day out… I longed to be completely whole
It just wasn’t enough for my poor restless soul

20130415-042919.jpg
restless soul too.
But I chose to deny what my heart was crying out loud
It was deafening but I was just too proud..

backed into a corner.
i saw the rain fall, and feel the sun shine over
when i was backed into a corner.

aligned.
For once in my life, I feel truly aligned
Joy and Peace that cannot be defined

silent scream.
that little voice inside
that whispers a scream
so loud.

20130415-043416.jpg
searching.
For I learned to love and it filled the empty spaces in my life,
I realized I could face all pain and strife…
Never again I was like a wandering ghost…
Searching for the life that I lost.

boredom leads to great ideas… i have always been hard headed. i wouldnt even want to take art lessons because i know i wouldnt be able to absorb the teachers words… (not unless he is da vinci?) … lol…. but i read tips. and i was fascinated with ipmasto and textured canvas so i read and made do what what i have.. (at 3 in the morning… and limited supplies…. hahaha…

remember the dried flowers phase? :-) well, its been sitting around the closet ar too long with twigs and dried weeds (not the kind you smoke,. ) well… here it is.. i have finally finally been able to incorporate painting, poetry and dried flowers!!!! (i have yet to practice writing using a paintbrush…but you’ll pretty much guess the idea of a love poem on canvas…. wish me luck and keep the creative juices flowing!!!! :-)

serendipitious tweak.


i had a canvas made for a landscape and then, changged my mind. so instead,i places a masking tape in the center… i painted the swirls.. lovers kissing and holding hands in the air or somethign….

20130311-030334.jpg

i covered it up when i started on the other half… first i made a nude, cover it up, then the story book world.. and probably covered it 3 times… finally, i decided to turn it upside down coz rhe lower part of the canvas is acceptable.. lol…
so i did the hot hatter… (pardon the splatters on the walls. :-)

20130311-030727.jpg

finally, when im done.. i took off the covered part and loved what i saw…

20130311-031039.jpg

red. i got inspired by a friend who made the mahjong character red his profile pic in facebook… :-)

20130311-003125.jpg

i currently have a thing for red wide brimmed straw hats lately.. :-) it drove me crazy the whole week. it consumed my thoughts and nobody can talk to me for a time coz i was so obsessed with painting a hat to my liking. :-) gosh… i think i finally have an explanation of my craziness. lol

20130311-003420.jpg

sometimes a heartbreak is louder than a beating drum.

20130311-003533.jpg

practicing shading now… and boy do i not suck? :-)

20130311-003628.jpg

i tried to make a hot chic but my heart and my soul wanted otherwise. it turned out ar first that he kinda looked like my late grandfather but it scared me and so i tried to tweak it.. he was so easy to draw.. :-)

20130311-003804.jpg

tweaked version.

20130311-004032.jpg
hot hatter.
and we’re back to the hats.

in my solitude.


i cherish the time when i am alone.. there is nothing to do but do as i please. this weekend, i barely got out, after taking my so. and his gf to the airport, my daughter also went for a weekend with his dad… i reliah the moment having the whole house to myself.. :-)

and as the pen moved through

the whispers of my heart

the most beautiful thing we have ever made

is to make our love … a work of art.

being adventurous… on canvas.


im known to do crazy stuff all my life. but i was scared to do abstract art. when i did my 2 amateur abstract painting, it is because i got bored. i encouraged my friend to paint a beautiful painting (her first) and her work became my guinea pig. being all encouraging and all but at the same time experimenting.. so i did too my own splatter after.. sure beats boredom!! :-)
