Sister inspired green and lush art: Land of Giant Kiwi

Family, Home decor, Paintings

For some reason my sister really loved this painting.

I didn’t like it because it felt a bit muddy in places and mentally I probably wasn’t in a positive head space when creating it.

At the time of painting this I was feeling confused by the water misting method of mark making but intrigued by the new lighter textures and marks forming at the same time.

So when I went to digitally enhance this painting with my phone while on the 49 bus from King’s Road to White City, I noticed upon inserting the kiwi fruit and the couple on the palm tree I immediately felt uplifted. As a result that helped me to feel more cheery about the painting. The woman sitting next to me was obviously wondering what I was doing and I felt a twinge of nervousness about that.

I need not have felt embarrassed as I ultimately felt encouraged when I saw how so many people loved and liked this digitally enhanced version on Instagram and Facebook.

It’s funny how digitally enhancing an image that you’ve painted can end up boosting your own mood more positively.

I created a scene that I wish to be a part of. Enjoying the lush steamy environment of the Land of Giant Kiwi.

Note to self is that I shall look further into the benefits of digitally enhancing items I paint in future.

Root chakra auras: Copper, grey, green, red acrylic fantasy landscape abstract:

One for you to interpret. I was at first lost for words. Initially  I liked the combination of reds greens, yellows and grey. Then I decided it looks like a cluster of spirited trees beside a lake.

The trees look like they are giving off their warm aura and in this fantasy landscape it is very possible that their aura is visible. In eastern medicine, the colour of the root chakra is red -Chakra – Muladhara and that is about safety, survival, grounding. According to http://www.chakras.info/chakra-colors/

How nicely surprising that my fantasy landscape lake trees are grounding or at least signify being grounded.

So I had a go at doing an abstract landscape. I imagined a foreground sky and middle ground all based on my imagination. No I wasn’t in a poppy field but I think i was conjuring deep pink red tulips and buds of poppies. I’m still undecided about this one. Though I’m a bit pleased I did something that resembles a flower slightly.  I was encouraged recently when watched a channel 4 ( or was it a more four) program that spoke of American painters of the 19th and early 20th century. Watching their work I began to feel comforted to see that my brushstrokes were similar to what has gone before there. Sorry I cant remember the artist’s name. It will come……

Anyway looking at this work, I think I still need to learn about making finer marks for stems and the earth. Nevertheless, let me know what you think.
