Garden Brick Moments presents a candid portrait a mother and daughter sharing a genuine smile in an outdoor setting. The black-and-white palette emphasizes the textures of the surrounding brick walls and the softness of their expressions.

Thoughts?

Ive only been painting for about 7 mths. And instead of getting better I seem to be getting worse and now struggling with perception and blending of color.

Title: Bailarina I

Style: Neo-expressionism

Hello everyone,

I'm sharing my painting "Bailarina I". I aim to capture the energy and tension of movement through gestural brushstrokes, texture, and a strong color contrast, moving away from traditional realism.

I would love to hear your opinion on:

• The strength of the contrast between cool and warm colors.

• The dynamism and verticality of the posture.

• The handling of texture and the stroke in the figure.

I would greatly appreciate any critique or suggestions in advance to continue improving!

"Gotham City" Series | A Moody Encounter with Vancouver

Saturday, July 11, 2020 – A typical rainy summer day in Vancouver.

I decided to embrace the weather and head out to Stanley Park with my camera in hand, the mist and rain setting the perfect mood for a few hours of long-exposure photography. Coal Harbour, nestled within Vancouver’s marina, became my canvas for the day.

Back home, armed with countless cups of coffee, I began piecing together the magic. Four hours and over 50 intricate selections later, this image was born. A blend of patience, artistry, and the subtle chaos of the city's rain-soaked streets, channeling a "Gotham" vibe like no other.

In progress —- I think there’s some value issues. “Prairie Prism” exploring the intersection of geometric abstraction and familiar landscapes. By breaking down the expansive terrain and majestic mountain ranges into a faceted mosaic of angular fields and vibrant color washes, with this piece I am attempting to capture the rhythmic, patterned beauty of the natural world.

This black and white portrait presents a joyful dog perched on a textured sofa, its tongue playfully out. The contrast highlights the dog's fluffy fur and gentle expression, radiating warmth and companionship.
