Creating art is an emotional experience, and every finished piece holds a unique story that the artist can share with the world. As I sit down to write about my latest painting, I feel a sense of excitement and anticipation, knowing that this is my first finished artwork of the year. This painting is a representation of my journey as an artist and how I have grown and evolved over time.
The painting is three by four feet in size and was created with acrylic paint. I also added gold sheets to the piece to add a touch of glamour and luxury. The subject of the painting is an oriental foo dog that acts as a protector, and a blue heron as the anti-hero. The background is lotus leaves, which represents calmness and serenity.
The oriental foo dog is a symbol of protection and is often found in Chinese architecture. I chose this subject for my painting because I wanted to create a sense of strength and stability. The blue heron, on the other hand, represents the anti-hero. Herons are known for their solitary nature and are often seen as symbols of isolation and independence. By incorporating both the foo dog and the blue heron, I aimed to create a sense of balance in the painting.
One of the most challenging aspects of creating this painting was incorporating the gold sheets. Gold has always been a symbol of luxury and elegance, but it can be tricky to incorporate into a painting without overpowering the rest of the piece. I found that adding small pieces of gold to the painting helped to create a sense of balance and added an extra layer of depth to the piece.
The lotus leaves in the background of the painting were added to represent calmness and serenity. The lotus flower is often used in Buddhist teachings as a symbol of enlightenment and purity. I wanted to create a sense of peace and tranquility in the painting, and the lotus leaves helped me to achieve this.
As I worked on this painting, I found that I was able to connect with my emotions in a new way. I had a clear vision of what I wanted to create, but as I worked, the painting seemed to take on a life of its own. It was as if the painting was guiding me, rather than the other way around. I allowed myself to be fully present in the moment, and I let my intuition guide me as I worked on the piece.
One of the most satisfying moments of creating this painting was when I stepped back and looked at the finished product. Seeing my vision come to life was a powerful moment, and I felt a sense of pride in what I had created. I also felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing that I had created something that was truly unique and personal to me.
As an artist, I believe that it’s important to create art that speaks to us on a personal level. This painting represents a journey for me, both as an artist and as a person. It’s a representation of my growth and evolution over time, and it’s a reminder of the power of art to connect us to our emotions and our inner selves.
In conclusion, my new painting is a representation of my journey as an artist and my personal growth over time. It’s a powerful piece that incorporates symbols of protection, independence, and tranquility. I hope that those who view the painting can connect with it on a personal level and find their own sense of peace and balance within it. As an artist, I’m excited to see where this painting takes me on my journey and what new insights and emotions it may bring to the surface.
