The Blue Lotus





Started out as an imitation of Whistler's 'Rose & Silver', which I think stands for something. But who was a I kidding.. I couldn't handle the complexity and enormity of the original portrait. I filled the canvas, but there was no inspiration in it. So decided to redo it, with focus on 'rose' making her a 'lotus'.

She had a dragon,
She was blue.
Calm and still,
Her elegance, glew.

Acrylics on canvas 18x24.

Spidya


A sketch of spidey which was lying around my desk for a couple of months. Hurriedly colored over couple of more months in nothing-to-do times, using everything around, water colors, arcylics, pens and soft pastels. Today declared it finished... need to find a way to stay thick and complete things, all things.
