A Gaze Through Infinity

29/9/2014

Sorry dear friends, I had another hectic week and could not do my blog on time. Well better late than never.

Here is another painting done using the pouring technique. This is my favourite one because of the colours and abstract images that appear in it. It has a certain presence a kind of living form. It is so difficult to explain, but when I look at it I feel as though I am gazing into infinity a place before the Big Bang. For me this is where life began where the building blocks of the universe were created and matter had no form.

I hope you love it as much as I do. If you wish to purchase the original, just email me at www.arimasarts.com. This painting is actually an oval one even though it appears to be circular. This is just the way the image appears when you upload it. The size of this one is 16" x 11" and it was made using acrylics and varnished to help preserve it.

This is the painting enjoy! Until next time.

Love and Peace

My Blue Planet

This is another painting I did earlier in my art career. I could just look at this all day because I love the way the two colours, blue and white, blend together forming unusual shapes that initially look abstract, but then mysteriously start forming into recognisable shapes.

I cannot help thinking that this painting looks so much like our blue planet, the Earth. It may not be exact, but it could be classed as a cousin of our world.

When I study this painting I feel relaxed and mesmerised by the shapes and forms mingling together creating something that is unique with a life of its own.

I hope you love this painting too. I have decided to name it 'My Blue Planet'. This is the third painting in the series. If you would like to purchase the original painting, please email me at arimasarts@gmail.com

I saw this video on Youtube and thought it was appropriate for us to appreciate the delicate beauty of our planet and how it is important that we love, respect and protect it. Thanks to Holy Jonte for uploading the video.

Love and Peace

A Window Overlooking the Mountains

Just going down memory lane with this oil painting I did a few years ago.

It really has not had much publicity because I tucked it away in a quiet little corner of my house. It is painted on a circular canvas and reminds me of a round window looking out onto the mountains somewhere in the Swiss Alps. I have not been there, but I would imagine it would be like this.

I saw a photograph of this place and just had to paint it. I can picture Julie Andrews running up the hill singing ' The hills are alive with the sound of music'. The Sound of Music was one of my favourite movies as a child, so when I saw this photo it just took me back to those carefree days when the only thing you would be worried about was your homework being handed in on time.

Well I hope you like this painting, I certainly love it . I have called it 'A Window Overlooking the Mountains'.

To further the experience I will give you a treat and share a brief video, I found on Youtube, of Switzerland, enjoy.

Love and Peace

Positive Messages Through Art

Oh what a wonderful day I am having. I just got back from the Old Market Gallery where I spent a few hours amongst talented, warm and loving people all writing positive messages to brighten up our town. Due to a lot of negative publicity aimed at our town, a group of people decided to get together to prove that all is not as bad as people think over here, yes crimes have been committed by a group of corrupt individuals, and hopefully, they will get their comeuppance, but everyone especially the Muslim community are being stereotyped and that is not fair and widens the divide, injuring human relationships. The least the media can do is focus on more positive aspects for once.

Enough said, everyone was busy writing their own messages to brighten up the local area with positive energy ready for the Rotherham Show tomorrow. Myself and my daughter-in-law thought it was a good idea to show our support and big up our town and send love out to the community. We had a stupendous time creating art and making new friends. I just thought to myself, how fantastic it would be if I could do this for a living.... no harm in dreaming.....

Here are a few photos of the occasion and my finished work of art. Oh by the way I will be going to an art group for the first time today too, really looking forward to it. Perfect day I think so far. I hope your day has been fulfilling too. From my heart to yours.

Love and Peace

I am a self taught artist who loves and appreciates art and photography. Both capture moments of life with great meaning and beauty.

A photo or a piece of art can set off all kinds of emotions. I believe that looking at paintings and images can promote healing too, a form of colour therapy.

Anyway, I hope my vision of my time on this planet can give you all some form of joy.
