faith and dreams

This week at Studio Friday: LEGACY!
"What work(s)/successes/accomplishments would you love to leave behind for the world? What legacy would you like to or are already about to create?"

Legacy. Wow this is tough for me. It never crossed my mind. Well, my artworks, that would be nice to leave behind and be remembered of by my loveones. Actually, many of my artworks tells something about me. It was never my intention but it does reflect who I am in more ways than one. I still dream of creating a lot more and who knows, maybe an extraordinary one. (dream, dream, dream) About myself as a person, I wanted my loveones to remember the faith I have, I don’t think I could have surpassed all the trials in my life if God have not been in my life. God have been my refuge and my strength. Everyone of us have our own struggle in life, it maybe similar to each other and can be completely different, and many times our loveones and friends have been our witnesses. Maybe they can say later on how I build my dreams, how my faith in God gave me inspiration, enlightenment and something to do and hope for.

Stop, look and listen

This week's topic at Studio Friday

"What 3 things can you do today to further your goals and dreams?" – suggested by Robyn
1. I thoughtI should stop and think about the advantages and disadvantages of whatever I have planned to do. ......
2. It might be a good idea to look around more and even do some research. .....
3. Listening to my loveones and the voices of the young and the old......
Gee, I might get somewhere faster……

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Anke for the award she bestowed on me. Actually, she has continously inspiring me with her artworks and photographs. You can visit her site over here.

Capsuled memories

This week at Studio Friday ---"Everyone looks out their window and sees a different view...palm trees, snow, beaches, mountains, garden, animals. Share the vantage from your studio...what's outside your window that takes you away and let's you daydream or get inspired?" suggested topic by Espialdesign
This is the view outside my window. Pine trees that gives some shades on a beautiful sunny day. Sometimes when I look out my terrace, I imagine the wind creating an inspiring bottled up or capsuled smell of the pine and is slowly coming nearer to me, going around my place like a memory of a childhood past.

Happy New Year everyone. Here’s what are waiting to be done in my studio(s). Plural because my studio is always moving wherever I wanted to do some art. My artworks and tools can be found in many corners of the house he he he. You can find in the picture two big canvasses waiting to be painted, colorful paint(s) that are waiting to be opened, magazines waiting to be read and brushes hoping to move from their places. I have started making my new portfolio which I am wishing will not take forever and in which the pictures are not possible being printed without having a new printer(I am smiling!). I did not make any resolutions, my life is a bit complicated nowadays but, I am trying not to lose my creativity at all. Any good news I hear from anyone of you makes me happy and inspired.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

CHEERS 2008! These are pictures I took last night. I forgot to take one picture of the food-the first one I took a bite on. It was a toasted flute bread with cheese and tomatoes on top. I must be already hungry then. I celebrated together with my ex-husband ...Yes, our friendship became more open and better after our separation. We did not go out to light some fireworks, and just enjoyed looking at them from the window glass - where we ate dinner and from another table in the sala, and while we drank on our way to 2008. I was surprised of how the pictures I took turned out especially those of the fireworks. They were beautiful! We could have taken it from the terrace but it was so cold and he was a little sick.
