Turbulences soon coming up in bigger version… & opening of new online shop at Saatchi Art

Posted on June 3, 2016 by oawritingspoemspaintings

Proudly presenting…
Turbulences. 30/30cm 3.1/2 cm deep.
Forces of nature always fascinated me, tornadoes are one of them.
A demonstration of raw power par excellence.
Having said that I’d rather stick to my canvas than approaching one of them.

Please scroll down for close ups…
Notice the movement & metallic colors used to convey the electrifying energy emanating from
a stormy atmosphere.
Extra strong gel medium was used to produce the relief.

Having had a good feedback on this small version, my next project will be a much bigger one…

Thank you all so much for your continual support.
Your visits, likes & comments are most valuable to me!

I want to take this opportunity to announce the opening of my new online shop on Saatchi Art (I encountered too many technical difficulties on Etsy when they lately changed their rules)
Will keep you updated as soon as I have the time to feed my account with photos of my painting collections.

Lambs lettuce & radishes for inspiration :)

Posted on March 14, 2015 by oawritingspoemspaintings

Minimalist style

I was preparing myself a plate of organic greens washing the earth off & noticed the colour contrast, the beauty of fresh food which lead me to a photo shoot craze… There was no photoshop involved besides the middle one where I played a bit with the colour.
Which one is your favorite?

Having fun messing around with colour…

Aren’t greens elegant?

Preternatural lake

Posted on August 3, 2014 by oawritingspoemspaintings

Just quickly posting an old picture dug out from our hard drive, taken in a time when Photoshop was still unknown to us so, the magical color you see of this high-altitude lake in the region of St-Moritz is real.
Passing with the train we were mesmerized by the difference in a regular lake and this one…
It had a lunar quality that we had never seen before.

I hope this shot captured its glow and the pull it had on us, endowing it on to you…

Best wishes for a wonderful summer!

Those lazy summer days…

Posted on July 1, 2014 by oawritingspoemspaintings

It would be nice to begin our days with tranquility…

Don’t you like those lazy summer days
Where going out for a stroll means
Leaving the trail of uncertainties
Behind, enjoy life’s miracle and
Exquisite grace, unfold at
Its own pace…

Do this 😉

Life’s garlands I am hanging on this post

Spring’s tender moments

There is a quote that says…
Life is a party but you are the one to hang the garlands.
May these photos be the garlands I am hanging on this post
As an ode to nature’s creation and its inhabitants.

P.s There is not much to add besides that I carefully chose each & every photo that spoke in a unique way to my heart as I hope it will do to you 🙂

Sun soaked bushes for the pleasure of the eye

The sun has lost itself among the bushes
Brushed against the branches leaving a
Trail of light on its way…

Tucked & treasured images… of Paris

Posted on April 6, 2014 by oawritingspoemspaintings

A few years back we experienced a few dreamy days in Paris
We came back bursting with images tucked & treasured…
I have chosen for you some that represent the more detailed
And personal side of this historical city & others that follow
The tradition with the hope you will spend through this post a
Few minutes of inspiration & pleasure.

As small as a buttonhole…

Posted on April 3, 2014 by oawritingspoemspaintings

As I sat down on a bench in front of a lake bordered by trees, a plucked daisy
laying on the grass drew my attention and while the others went on having
their fun I picked it up & had mine experimenting for thirty whole
minutes the art of close-up photography. This flower as big as a buttonhole
pleasantly surprised me with its outcome 🙂
I have to explain that my camera is very basic so I’m always in awe at
how its limits can be stretched…

I had a hard time selecting, erased about five & a whole load on premises & ended with the grand collection
of seven I just could not part with but most importantly is which one do YOU like?
