Lovely painting.
Admittedly, jumping off cliffs is also a pretty bad way to find out you have flippers instead of wings. 😛

I like this Ayse! The art is very professional. I used to be an artist when I was younger, and started getting better at it, but medication causing a shaky hand and lack of meaningful encouragement, led to my giving up on it. I wish I could do what you and Adrienne can do with art, but I am genuinely happy with your giftedness and the degree of skill you have both developed over time, and I am glad I get to see so much of it. I truly enjoy it! If you ever want to paint any more of me, feel free! I showed your paintings to my mom when we had lunch a few weeks ago, and she was very impressed. I’m happy I have such creative people in my life these days, WordPress is awesome 🙂
I especially like the dark closed lines of the eye-lids, and the shading over the lines of the eyes. the little speckles of black paint over them, is really cool, it looks like it would be hard to get such little flecks of the paint just right, but you did. If I tried to do something like that, I would just make a mess, and ruin the painting, but you must have a really graceful, creatively-knowing hand that knows how to maneuver the brush in just such a way so as to make it come out right. That itself, watching a skilled artist work, imagining it, it just seems like the visible process of the artist at work, is a piece of art. When I started to get better at art, back before I gave up, I was starting to be more graceful with my movements, and was starting to be able to think a little ahead of how the lines I was drawing, were going to be affected by future lines I would soon make. I can’t do that anymore with visual art, but I can sometimes with words, and I am sure the creative process for visual art can be really fun like writing is for me.
By the way, the quote you shared with this painting, brought to mind a haiku I wrote a month and a day ago (October 8, 2013), that I’ll share below. I love how your creativity and creative pairings of things give me cause to think about what I read and see. Just like how people do with art in museums! 😉
