Daily Creativity: Embrace

EmbraceAnother painting from my iPad.  This one I call embrace.  I can expect from a select few of my readers they will deem this one a bit risque.  I’ve done nudes before, and I’ve done my blob people before, but this post is a bit more formed and a bit intimate.  I like it, I don’t think it’s too out there, but I expect some might.  Art will always offend someone, and it should.  I didn’t paint this to offend, I only realized it would as I went to post it on the internet.  I often don’t see the risque nature of things I create.  A photograph of a mouth can be innocent beauty to some and pornographic to others, the same can be said for almost anything.  After getting a lot of private comments about some of my art, I only expect it with this one.

I like how the colors are red and orange, I like how they blend and make me think of fire, and warmth.  I like that they embrace is warm and the color is transferring between the forms.  I’m not sure I like how they are semi floating in space.  I tried to create a ground without getting too specific.  I didn’t want to the background to distract the eye.

Daily Creativity: Kiss

kiss_smIt’s been a few days since I’ve posted a Daily Creativity, mostly because my creative project from those days isn’t finished yet.  It’s taking a lot of time to dry in between the stages… but on to this one.  Kiss.  As Tek calls this style, my blob people.  This style I think conveys emotion of a moment, which strikes a chord with me.

This year I’m doing NaNoWriMo in a different way.  Instead of writing 50K words, I’m painting 30 pictures for my children’s book “Rory goes to the dentist.”  I’m valuing each picture at 2K words, though I will say it should … Continue reading

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body (the first)

Love Your BodyThe other day I posted a painting I did with the theme of “Love Your Body.”  What you don’t know is that isn’t the first I did of that series.  Back in July I painted this with the same theme in mind, but I never uploaded it because I was sans internet for a few weeks.

I remember not being too happy with the piece back then, but now when I look at it I’m very happy with it.  I really like what I did here.  It just goes to show that sometimes when you’re creating you need to step away from the project and get some perspective.  It works with design, writing, painting, and pretty much anything creative.

I hope to do more in this series.  It seems to have struck a cord with some people, and I think that’s a good thing.
