It has been way too long since the last time that I posted something...

I wis that I could say that I I Have been active painting or being creative, unfortunately... that is not the case.   

 I have been trying but sometimes life gets on the way.

I have been experimenting with other mediums, Acrylic, Oils and recently; I finished a serigraphy (screen printing) class.

As for now,Im going to post this, I believe it is "Untitled" and honestly... I can not remember the date when I finished it. I will look for the painting and I'll update the information soon.

It is a watercolor and as you can see, it has a sense of surrealism.  

 

Sorrow

This is also a watercolor that I'd finish several months ago...
it is a combination of two different photographs and I also used photographs from the PMP website.

It was fun and challenging to put the two photographs in the same painting but I thought it was a good composition.
I always have trouble when painting white objects on the white paper,as it always turns out  to  be darker than I have originally planned.

This is a watercolor and it measures 15"x112",it was finished on Sept. the 24  '17

Red Hot chili Peppers

This is another old watercolor.
I actually  used a picture from PMP and I have to give credit to the photographer for such a wonderful and colorful reference.

Red leaf

Gosh!
It has been a long time since I posted anything on my blog! 
Now I think that it is time to get back to it.

I've not been painting  much lately but I  have a few paintings that were finished a while 

ago and I never got to post them.

This is Called "Red leqf"  it is just a small still life,I used a Red leaf that I found somehwre.

I was walking and I found it,I thought it was beautiful...because of the intense color Red.

I brought it home with me and I looked  for something else to add to the painting.

I haven't been brave enough to try bigger or complicated still lifes,so  I decided to make it simple.

I have this little brass pot that I bought at an antique store and decided to use it.

I took several photos and I selected  what I thought was the best.

It was a very pleasurable experience and I was very please when I finished it.

Watercolor on Arches paper and measures 12'x9" and it was finished on Jan 8th '17       

Untitled

This is a Watercolor that I painted a few weeks ago. 
just a simple setting with a few objects that I found interesting.
I 'm always looking for contrast,Dark-tlight  and intesresting shadows.
there was a time during the process that I wasn't happy with it,that was after the firs;few light washes that I  applied for the background.
It didn't look right  and I didn't know what else to do and I wasn't even sure if I was going to be able to make it work. 
I probably wasn't even thinking about what the next step would be.  thinking that I was probably not going to be able to save it,I decided to add more darks and in a variety of  tones. I painted this on Arches,cold pressed (as usual) it measures 12" x 16" and it was finished on Jan. the 27th. '17    

Untitled

This is a watercolor that I finished not long ago.
it is a non-complicated set up,an interesting bottle,a duck...that is apparently made of Brass and... a small glass bottle. all of these objects are part of my "Precious-treasures non-valuable" things that I usually buy at the thrift store,just to use them for paintings. 
I have not painted glass before and the small bottle doesn't look convincing...but that's all I could do.
it was painted on arches (Cold pressed) and it measures 12" x 16". it was finished on Feb. the 22nd. '17    

Untitled

This is a very small watercolor that I painted not long ago.
it is based on a photograph that I took at the Asian museum of Art, in SF.
The piece is very interesting,colorful;shinny...
I don't know why  it took me too long before I finally decided to paint it. it is very simple but I like it and it was a good exercise. 
it measures 4" 1/2 x 5" and was painted on Feb. the 11th. '17
