BlueRain Mountains

If you walk far enough, you will reach the BlueRain mountains. Everything there is larger than life and greener and brighter too, because it rains every morning and every evening. A light blue, life-giving rain. On the mountain slopes, carpets of flowers bloom. Yellow and pink and blue and white and orange and red. I'm going to paint them one of these days.

Violin Series

I'm working on a new series involving music and especially violins. Here're two of the works done digitally in ArtRage.

The Gold Fields

The scan didn't catch the colors at all well. The image below, taken with a digital camera, comes closer.

I have a lovely box of waterproof inks that I intend to finish this month.

Two Talking

I'm getting my rhythm back and I'm darned thrilled.

I couldn't stop dancing around with this. Gad, you frocking genius, I thought, look at those loverly, loverly COLORS!!!

And the BALANCE!

Woo-HOO!!

Nothing can touch the feeling of a painting  coming along JUST right!!!

I LOVE painting MADLY!!

Patches

I haven't been posting here for rather a long bit. From Monday, I expect to do a painting daily, be it in oil, acrylic, pastel or sketchpen.

Rainy Afternoon

Drawing - Portrait of my Father

I've been looking through some old papers, and I found this quote from Master Han. It's to do with martial arts, but can very well apply to painting and violin-playing as well.

"You will never learn to do any endeavor properly unless you are willing to give yourself time. I think you are accustomed to having everything come easily to you, but this is not the way of life or of the martial arts. To give yourself time is to actively work toward a goal without setting a limit on how long you will work."
