Brush strokes.....

 

 

That which we persist in doing becomes easier – not that the nature of the task has changed, but our ability to do has increased.
Ralph Waldo Emerson


To me, Ralph Waldo Emerson was so right, he might not have been talking about art, but it has helped me get better at  expressing my ideas. Best way to reflect is to go back where it all started; my very first painting years ago.. It was a dolphin I did it from the streets of Livingstone. So small and simple, yet it was a stating point of my persistence to get better at expressing myself.

 
 

 

 

color...

Happy Monday everyone.... I hope you had a great weekend.

“A SMALL THEORY
People observe the colors of a day only at its beginnings and its ends, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations, with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of thousands of different colors. Waxy yellows, cloud-spat blues. Murky darkness. In my line of work, I make it a point to notice them. ”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

    

color helps us express ourselves, it helps us live life in full color. Also, I like to believe, a creative mind thinks in color. 

Here are some colors that particularly inspired me, and I might just make something with a bit of each. It could be anything, an interior view, piece of art, or clothing.....yet to decide. most, if not all  them are warm autumn colors, coz I  feel there's still more to enjoy this season, we've only just began. :) 

They've been used in these interiors I've posted below:

Autumn

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
(or in this case, Septembers)

Autumn is here..... the heat, dust and wind all working against your white flared dress.
but that's not me. I love autumn...all the leaves are a great color, warm and crisp. while everyone is complaining bout the heat, I thought I might bring some cheer by using some of our autumn colors in my project.

still transforming the lounge to a more cozy space. Autumn colors are distributed all over the room, from the light copper pendant lights, to the rich brown rug. my guilty pleasure? the red stools. :)

here goes......

my first post, on my first blog......
pretty ordinary day, I'd say, apart from maybe one awkward moment on the bus when a very drunk guy thought it ok to sleep on my shoulder... #very disturbing, but I got where he was coming from (or atleast my nose detected it) it was the morning after a series of bad decisions. so....yeah, *shrug* 
in my head....today is another perfect day to make myself better at what I love doing : creating interiors. project of the day? turning this lounge I had done into a more homely one.
