Cubism

I'm stretching and learning in my Art. I want to know how far can I get to different style using the same painting that I did. I like Picasso's art but I'm a big fan of Van Gogh. The big challenge that I'm facing right now is blending colors and putting a harmony on my idea.

When I was a child I used to use a chalk and draw on the street. Its obviously look like a kids drawing. Back then its like a masterpiece. With an awe and proudness to myself. After awhile I study hard and finish college not as an artist but as a comsci. I hate it so bad and I feel like I waste my year and life on it instead of studying what I really love. I work and met my husband later in life and he's actually the one who put color again in this black and white life I had. Since then I keep pushing hard and learning to the time I've lost. Patching all those gap and I'm pretty bless...

Please enjoy this creation that I made and hope it will inspire you like i do.

Abstract

I love cubism and abstract. It's like art for grown ups that want to have fun like a little child. But sometimes a lot of art now doesn't mean anything. It's just becoming garbage because everyone can do it. Splashing paint on the canvas or just putting a lot of weird things on the panel. Let's say a nail on the white wall... Heck!!! Are you serious? Or am I the only one who's not in this world... Ahhh I guess I'm to judgmental but the reality is abstract always make you think and get lost in the universe... Whatever it is life is full or creation we just have to stop and look around... Even a nature show some abstract art...

Here's the art that I did maybe you guys will wonder and scratch your head...

The first one i done in IPhone (IDraw).
The second one I done with pen and plywood.
Third one I done with paper and conte

Ferry boat

Everyday when I wake up in the morning and hearing the ferry boat crossing the Ohio River there's this beautiful old folks who always walk by greeting one another. My favorite lady Ms. Sue with her cleaning gadget. Peggy the lab dog who always checking the water front with her master. Mr. Gibson walking Baxter 4 times a day. And the old guy who always sitting next to caboose wearing red shirt all the time. Same old stuff that I would never forget about this small town their ferry boat. As I've hear its been running even the water hit hight or low. People pay 5 dollars to go to another side of the state. Easy commute to cross over to Kentucky to Ohio and fun ride too. I hope you guys enjoy my ferry boat painting...

The Drummer Boy

My father in-law has an eye on this intriguing vibrant color and art abstractions. I am experimenting on his technique and it wasn't difficult as what I expected it to be. But of course you still must have at least a little knowledge of which color can give a dramatic impact. Color has a lot of meaning and can give affect on the composition itself. Here's one of the work I made.

Fathers Day Gift

My husband and I have some difficulty finding a gift to my father in-law. We tried to go check Walmart then some antique store. All the stuff are very ugly and junkies. After that trip we almost losing our hope to buy something special and unique. Our last chance is to drive and go see the Bluegrass Artisan at Old Washington near Maysville. We got a special deal to this original art. Thanks to Rob, a very talented artist and jewelry maker. He save us with a lot of hassle and gave us some good price for it. My in-laws are very stoke.

Rooster Addict

It all started with this...

Ty love to raise this cute little dinosaur. But unfortunately so many collision happen and we decided to do something about it. It's a huge problem for us to bring all those hen and rooster and we will be living in the city pretty soon. The dream of having fresh egg is now gone. My nightmare come when he ask me to butcher all those 60 monster, it's very heartbreaking and I'm very disappointed to do it so.

But life must go on and so my art...
This are some of my creation for the love of rooster...

Retro Ring

I haven't blog for a long time now because of a lot reason. The first one is that we're renovating our two property up in Ohio. It was very difficult for me because I'm a painter and not a builder. I don't say that I don't like it... Of course I do. Learning from my husband is a part of my growing experience in life. Being on his team and partner for life is incomparable to any thing in this whole world... Ah! He teach me how to install a window which i bet you guys i would not have done that in a million years... But I did...I'm getting out of my comfort zone here, but enough about my personal life here's what's going on with my art. Let me tell you about this new stuff that I make yesterday. Here's the ring tile for the coming art fair event that I'm hoping to sell. This is my first time to make all this beautiful creation. There are a lot of mistake on the process but eventually I manage to make a couple. If this sold up quickly I probably creat more of this often.

Pile of wood and a collection of pipe

Pile of wood- we were pet sitting the horse and the owner have this pile of wood. I took a picture of it because it almost look like an art. You can see the picture down here

Collection of pipe- this is my one of my favorite crafter that my husband and i visited yesterday. I stumble on one of his collection and took a picture of it. His shop is amazing. I bet most of the guy would dream of a collection of tools and a bunch of antiques.

Ceramic Bowl

When I was a kid I always dream to be a pottery person who creat a special and unique bowl out of my hands. I was fortunate to have this experience now that I'm old enough and have a courage to try it. My family was very supportive by coming out and taking the class with me. Our teacher Ms. Fried is a very talented person and very precise on teaching us some very informative pieces to do pottery. We did some wheel throwing, glazing, coiling and many more. I love to do it again someday.
Down here I post the picture of my handmade bowl. I now use it as a rice bowl. It does keep the heat longer than a usual bowl and that's make it more unique. The spackle give it a rustic look that I think will made it more interesting to look at too. After this experience I want to collect a bunch of bowl to display on my house. This kind of craft is surely a hard work especially in detailing a bowl or any kind of pieces a pottery.

Shelter

Title: Shelter was the biggest commission piece that I have ever done. I'm so thankful to the Hoppings family to give their trust to do this one of a kind painting.

When I was in 4th year high school I compete along with Joy Fresnido, my batch mate in Cavite Institute. She and I always battle in art contest and she always winning the first place and I always fall for 2nd or third place. The school decided to do some duo. Our tandem on competing other school was phenomenon. We won the trophy and each one of us got a 1000 Pesos cash price. It was a big accomplishment for the school and also to us. That public painting on the hugh wall was very meaningful on what am I now. I would also never forget Mrs. Koni Pascual who gave some one hour lesson and draft before competition. She was a blessing in disguise . God bless her heart for helping young soul.

Pegasus

This is Mr. John Gibson horse for art guild project. One day he called and ask for my help to do some paint job on his project. When he drop by to give his box were he put his acrylic paint. He told me to use it for the horse. I was kind of not sure if i like the color choices that's in there. I told my husband that I'm not going to use the paint that he hand me over. I already had the idea for the color when I saw the horse that he maid and sure enough i let it sit to my art room for a long period of time till I we drove to home depot to buy the color I want. I also put the star on the neck and forehead to show some real action. The wings is very well handcraft of Mr. Gibson that I don't think I can do it in a million years.
After I finish the horse I ask him if he wanted it back so he can build a stand for it. And he sure want it. Hopefully he won't use a power washer to wash all out the spray paint that I did. To tell everyone the truth I'm not good in spray painting. I guest I pin point what I mean to it and he was a perfectionist. I hope I didn't drive him nuts. ^_^

Tin Tab

Speaking of recycling and making it as an art. Here is one of my hobby for almost 5 yrs. I have had been collecting this tab. I get it from a coke and a dog food. At first it was just nothing until I realize most of my family member are so addicted to soda, beer etc. so to make thing short I save all the tab to show how unhealthy they are not how much I wanted to make it out of something. I know how horrible I am just to do it but now I collect it for no reason and will donate it to the art guild. Each artist receive a plastic horse to do some sculpture and design it with anything I told my mother in law who is the organizer of this project that I will make a knight horse out of my tab. She was so ecstatic that I am going to donate my tab. At first I am not sure about what the heck I am doing but realize later on that it is for a good cause. And sharing my talent always makes me feel on the top of the world.

Ceramic Bird

Art for me is truly in different kind of form. Nature is the best inspiration and can always change your mood. When I was in high school I remember that we have this club. A kind of club that you recycle an unused materials and make it something useful. We make a lot of different stuff out of the garbage. We use bottle to do some Christmas tree. We recycle a telephone book into beads and a basket. But being in the wheel doing pottery is the most I enjoy but also hate. I guest because when u had the product that u made in hand is fulfilling. Especially when it came out unique. I hate it because the process was the most difficult thing to do. I was almost ready to give up but I guess art is something that u need to be patient of or else you'll finish nothing.

Wheat Field

After driving a long hour drive with my husband I had been so observative with the field that we are passing by. I decided to paint it because it was beautiful. The weather was also make the Canadian goose to fly out here in mid west. I couldn't imagine how far they can go but they are absolutely gorgeous. Seeing them on the ground and sometimes out there making a loud noise, make me want to catch it. As if they want u to notice them.
