Kristine and Edward, Oil on Canvas 20×16

Kristine and Edward, Oil on Canvas 20×16

Kristine and Edward, oil on canvasboard, 20inchesx16inches embodies the distinct emotion of a woman in love. The painting is neither happy, nor sad. But definitely overflowing with the intense feeling of love for her other half.

******************************

I started this painting in 2002. It was just a rough sketch using my good ol’ charcoal pencil….and then I seemed to have lost the inspiration to continue applying oil paint on it…..I even told myself I can’t even get to draw the nose and eyes right, so I left the canvas in a corner and totally forgot about it……(Okay, okay…honestly, blame my loss of inspiration to a heartbreak and an illness. :( )

Until November 4, 2007 came when my hands seemed to be itching for some brush and oil paint action….

I am inspired again to paint! (Hhmmm..I wonder why….)

I managed to finish 3 oil paintings in just a day!

I finished Kristine and Edward around 2am of November 5, while slumped on my bed, and watching teevee at the same time (that’s how multi-tasking I can get! hehe!)

Staying in Batangas for All Saint’s and All Souls Day was a breather for me. Imagine, being offline for a few weeks….away from work, tempting yahoo messenger, friendster, and of course my wordpress blog and friends.

I felt it was about time I finally finish this painting. Very timely too for the intense feeling of passion and commitment that my other half and I have for each other…..even across the miles….

I am open to the fact that not everybody will appreciate a work of art. Some may just nod as if saying, “It’s nice.” Others may just shrug and say, “Not lifelike. The eyes are not proportioned. Or I can do better than that!” Some may be delighted and see more than just a splash of hues or an image……

Whatever you may be thinking, just like in writing, I present to you my work of art not to impress but to express. I hope you can feel me too…..

my dear brushes, canvas, oil paints, linseed oil, pencils

    art to express and not to impress…i totally get that. i think that the opinion of others should not deter us from doing creative things to express ourselves. it’s our feelings and emotions that are in our work and at that point i don’t think that we should judge based on technicalities.

    i miss painting…i used to do oils myself and charcoal as well … for some reason i just stopped and i haven’t been inspired enough to pick up a pencil and draw so oils are out of the question.

    sweet ng painting. makes me wish i have someone to hug. :)

    thanks for your comment on my latest post. i’ll let you know how things go. right now i’m still a bit confused about what to do e. praying for the right decision muna. ;)

    @clare – thanks sis! when you do get your inspiration back, just paint….let your heart and hands do the rest…. :D

    i am glad to have conveyed that feeling of longing for someone to hug…and I didn’t mean that in a bad way….just that, it makes me feel I have been successful at expressing myself to you…..

    @DJ Rob – I like the way you described how you perceive this artwork :D You got it! Exactly what I’m trying to convey….I am happy that I was able to put into all the shades and hues, curves and strokes the exact feeling of a Kristine Sendy right at this very moment… :D

    Will sure paint more…and hopefully, photography naman soon! yey!!! :D
