Water Colour Painting "Messenger"

Recently, I was feeling a little down. :> :/
Swam by some bad habits, I feel quite sad. :/
[Feel that some good part of me was lost. :< ]
So … I took some nice picture collections and flip through them.
As I was watching the angelic pictures, I have a silent urge to paint :>

So I took up a brush, and concentrated on painting :>

As the picture unfolds, some little joys sprung up in me.
Some measure of Kindness, Generosity and Hope wells in me.
A sense of Peace and Simple joy returns to me.

The painting took a couple of hours and the end result looks like this:

After finishing the painting, I ponder on the title of this piece.

I decided on the Name “Messenger” as it depicts a Messenger bringing some Good News from the Heavens. The flask in his hands contains the Water of Life and offers Hope to mankind :>

The Universe is kind,

Life forgives one’s mistakes and offers Hope and Redemption. :>

[Just don’t make mistakes all the time. :P :P ]

Water Colour painting “Wali Dad”

Since it is the holidays and I’ve a bit of time on my hands, I went to the library to borrow some children’s book : )

I really enjoyed reading children’s book. :)

An author who won a Nobel prize [Literature] once said,” Children’s book are very good. Truth, Virtues and Gentle manners are found in abundance in children’s book. Adult and children should read more children’s story to remind themselves of their Good nature.” :)

I read a story called “ The Gifts of Wali Dad”.

It’s a nice story with very nice illustrations. It goes like this ….
"Wali Dad is a simple-hearted Grass-cutter. Every day, he cut some wild grasses, bundle them and bring them to the market to sell. Every day, he earns 30 coins. He spent 10 coins for food, 10 coins for other necessities, and save the remaining 10 coins for a rainy day …. "
[I’m not going to tell you the whole story, pls borrow the book from National Library … : ) : ) ]

The book looks like this ..



…………..
When I was admiring the beautiful illustrations, a sudden wish to paint swam over me. :)

Well …. I haven’t been painting for many years now. The last time I did a water colour painting was during my secondary school. : P [That was soooo long ago and I don’t even remember where I place all my painting brush, water colours etc … : ( ]

But, a wish is a wish. And wishes always come true : )
So … I went to “Popular Book Store” , buy a paint brush, a new Water colour [the type with all the colors and a palette], a drawing board, went straight home and started painting : )



After a few hours of hard work : )
[ + a can of Green Tea + some nice cookies + some nice music]

Ta … Dah …. : ) : ) Hey Presto …. It’s done.
[Hint: you can double click on the picture to get a good look :> ]


I have to say that it is pretty cool : ) : )

[Pls say "It's pretty ccccoooooollll." :0 : ) :P]

So … I took a photo, place it in my blog and share with my friends : ) : )

Sharing with you
All the Goodness in Life,
