One of the things in life that brings me great joy is seeing beauty and more importantly seeing other people enjoying beauty. I am an abstract sound painter. I describe emotions and music through colour on canvas.

Abstract composition of a misty seascape featuring a textured gradient from indigo and violet at the top to white at the bottom. In the top left quadrant, a dark violet and stark white band add the impression of a dense rain cloud just beyond the horizon.

A textured abstract composition featuring a gradient that transitions from warm rose pink in the upper section to deep indigo and violet tones below. Delicate linear elements in white and indigo intersect the gradient on the right.

Abstract composition - structured around five planets of varying scale, which serve as the central visual elements of the painting. A lime and grass-green planet appears in the upper-left quadrant, while a green-and-orange planet occupies the right-centre. In the upper right, a peony pink and deep magenta planet balances the composition. A large pink planet emerges partially from the left edge, extending from the centre toward the lower portion of the canvas, suggesting continuation beyond the frame.
The composition is visually divided into an upper and lower half: the upper portion is rendered in deep blue tones, while the lower half transitions into lighter blues and pale moss green. At the centre of this blue-and-green cascade rests a small yellow-and-orange planet.
The scene is accented with delicate dappled spots of pastel green and yellow, evoking thoughts of distant stars, asteroids, and planets, which contribute to a sense of depth and cosmic movement.

Visual humour cue noted. Pop-culture makes it seem like we are monsters if we donΒ΄t "like" ourselves. IMO itΒ΄s optional. WhatΒ΄s important is that we treat ourselves like someone we like a lot - and that usually means eat some veggies, listen to good music and hang out with friends sometimes. Β―\(ツ)/Β―

This abstract work depicts half of a woman’s face, with her lips, eyelashes, and hair rendered in shades of blue and green. Her flowing hair transforms into an ocean, carrying a setting orange sun and a full moon. The background sky transitions in a soft gradient from deep blue at the top to silver-grey along the horizon.

Once upon a time, I decided to stay home on new yearΒ΄s eve, no alcohol, just doing a puzzle. It wasnΒ΄t active social rebellion, it was just what I wanted to do. It turned out I enjoyed it. Well done you, for doing what you want to do, and not what you think is expected.

In the next few days, I want to share a few "winter-ish" pictures with you. IΒ΄ve been living in the northern Hemisphere for over a decade and snow in December still feels special to me. For now, itΒ΄s only in my paintings, but I wont be stopped from singing... "Do you want to build a snowmaaaaan?"

Caramel-brown overlapping misshapen circles on a white background. In the centre, is the word "Pancakes", underneath, a cartoon button nose and a smile.

ART is not about the artist, or style, or price. Art is defined by what it makes you feel. A 2AM-scribbled-in Paint note to self, that I want to make pancakes. Lumpy batter means the pancakes will take a while and I am still smiling. Because of this picture. What made you smile today? ThatΒ΄s ART.

In photography, itΒ΄s not about the subject you are capturing, but the moment you choose to capture - and how you develop the image. In painting subjects from "real" life, the artist chooses which parts of the scene to accentuate, and which parts are irrelevant; the birdΒ΄s coolness becomes the Art.

I get odd ads too sometimes. And sometimes the ads are so far off base, that they come full circle, and I learn something new :)
I hope you have a wonderful day. For example a day in which you get to smell something that makes you smile. My favourite smell recently has been a freshly sliced apple.
