Christmas break

Christmas 2011, I sprouted the roots of an artist within me and gave the output to my dear friends – my special Christmas presents.

hello

Amateurish artwork :-)

Every time I’m given a lot of workload, I started it with some sort of “driving interest” activity so I can gain momentum. This time I took my long kept canvas and brushes. Oh! it’s shameful to post this, but maybe just a recognition for the effort and time spent working, (LOL!) or much better a picture for grounds of improvement.

This is the first time I work with watercolors. I’m so excited at first that I kept on smiling, but don’t bother asking my feeling afterwards, LOL. I admit I find it challenging to blend colors and mix with right amount of water. Sometimes it’s too much water or too much paint. Due to excitement I jumped off and tend to disregard the basics – tips and techniques. I should have used a watercolor paper, right brushes, and right palette. Look at what I’ve done, LOL.. a newspaper palette (too dumb to consider) but hey take a look, did you spot the Angel? and.. you might notice pale colors, and some dirty mixtures. (the reward of a $1 paint and cheap brushes, lol)

Anyway, this is a “Joyfully waiting” concept, part of my Christian faith. I think I don’t have to explain further so you can use some parts of your brain to think (kidding!). Seriously, when you got God’s Spirit in your heart, you can then wait for each morning, for each new day (even if it might be the last) WITH JOOOOOOY! But when you don’t have the Spirit, you’ll live with all question marks, worse, find no answer.

I would have done this using oil or acrylic but don’t have enough time to learn.
Ok buddy! Next time I’ll be ready and will consider the preliminary tips.
Feel free to comment and I would be glad if you share some tips. Thanks!

Learning guitar – my own way

Here I am believing it’s not too late to learn guitar. =) Unfortunately, I misplaced my songbook so the internet is my only resource. I only have two songs for now, one is my favorite – “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley, and good that its chords are simple. After this photo was taken, one string breaks so I will have to rest for some days.

Sometime, I wish I finished my piano lessons. It’s a free session offered by a nun when I was in High School. We were supposed to take lessons after class ’till early evening but I wasn’t able to succeed because I can’t stand working sessions on a known haunted place. (Grrr…) Maybe if I’m too passionate that time then I would have overcome the fear, and I could have played piano very well.

Inspiration Drive

If someone is willing to meet you at the edge, will you go? or will you still go nowhere finding that missing piece? (first thought that came into my mind this morning after an unusual dream). Well, being an adventurous in nature I will most likely go for that missing piece. I believe we are making our own destiny based on our choices. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Heb.11:1). While taking every challenge per day – driven with inspiration, let’s keep the faith and I’m pretty sure we will REACH the edge VICTORIOUS!

Peeking at my shell

This is my virtual shell. I’ll try to express most of my thoughts here. At times when I feel pretty much occupied, I spend time talking to myself (lol, the easiest way to do, oh no worries I’m sane), or putting my words in writing (in penmanship everyone cannot read, lol), or sound tripping until the noise deafens my brain (if there’s no such thing, I’m making it), and lastly, which I find it most refreshing – locking my room in prayer(now I’m serious).
