Second Chance

If we were to be given a second chance to live this life - how would we live it? Would it turn our worlds upside down as we stand in the midst of gratitude? Would it change our perspectives on life, would our priorities differ? What would matter most?
Would things be indifferent; or would there be new light shed, new revelations, new radical ways of living, new hopes, new dreams,new passions and new visions casted?
I can only seek to learn the art of doing life better; having been given a second chance.

Contemporarily Organic



I decided to incorporate a bit of nature into this particular one. I am a huge fan of mixed media and I enjoy experimenting with new ideas especially since I love the great outdoors. I love it when I am inspired with fresh new ideas because it usually marks the beginning of a new season. Or that I have discovered a new revolutionary style uniquely me.

Layers


This is my latest painting based on a contemporary theme. I love contemporary art because in it lies so much freedom of expression. And expressing myself is what I love to do. I have realised just how precious it is to have true, transparently honest friendships and relationships - when we are stripped bare of the many layers which are often there- and when what's left is all it essentially really is. I love it how with art, I cannot help but to just be - plain, blatant honesty of where I am at.

May we live our lives unafraid to be who we truly are, to learn to live our lives to be true to ourselves and to do the things we have been set out to accomplish.

Hope



I am glad there is hope. I cannot imagine life without it. Many a times I fall short but I find myself afloat in a massive sea of mercy that remains indescribable.
Work in progress- that's what I am. And who I am clearly shows that. There is much to learn and much work to be done.

Pioneerete


This is one of the first few paintings on canvas that I completed in art class- I spent most of my years painting on paper and the likes. This was one of the marked milestones in my journey and I have been absolutely hooked on canvases since.
We are sometimes called to be pioneers in certain paths and certain areas in life. Some may be called to embark on the road less travelled by- Fear and self doubt is almost certain but I have learnt that as I step out and up into unknown territorries and unfamiliar boundaries in beautiful time, the rewards are unfathomable.
What is it that you are called to? Perhaps it is time to step out.

Love is..........

Love encompasses so many things. The term "love" is used so loosely in everyday life that sometimes I think the real meaning of love becomes diluted.

What exactly is love? The definition of love that I have inscribed on this canvas: "love is patient, love is kind..", and so much more-
Love is so many things beautiful.

Two Worlds Apart



Ever had one of those days when what you knew to be truth was actually not quite it? Just for the shortest moment in time when your world seemed to have tipped of its axis.
I discovered an entire world I never knew existed.
And thus began my journey; my quest for life.
I breathe
And I grow
In a bubble
Unaware
I live
And I discover
A world
Not there
I question
And I wonder
How is it possible
There down under
Lies a world
Dying
That I just discovered
Stumbling, striving
Darkness and despair
I hear silence crying
Is anyone out there?
