This picture is a digital painting of a pet I had a long time ago. I had to give him up when I was moving into a flat with some of my siblings. They didn’t want him. But he went to a good home, our neighbours friends child took him in. He really taught me that rabbits have a lot more intelligence than I had ever known. This drawing was done on app 53, the made with paper app.
Nite nite. B
This piece is part of my continuous experimentation with colour. Green with yellow accents infused within.
I’d say I am always looking for unusual friendships for my characters. They tend to be lonely individuals who don’t seem to have close friends they can talk to. Therefore they have these quaint or dangerous animals sometimes who they feel free to share their fears and ideas with.
This particular friend has a crown so is of royal standing. I don’t see him just listening but he will have a lot t o say too.
The crowned owl is a prince amongst birds,
Watch him fly and believe all that you have heard,
proud but loyal and a straight talker,
He hates a quarrel,
He Loves completely and rules without timidity…
Verse by yours truly…Beatrice Ajayi
The tear jar piece symbolises the sorrows of life and being real. It speaks of Intense emotions, sadness, loss, promise, hope; I have created a handful of artwork with crying individuals. Sometimes the reasons are obvious, for example if they are in a situation of peril. Occasionally like ‘The Tear Jar’ piece it isn’t so obvious.
If I take it to a personal level I don’t always cry in public. Most of the time in my adult life. I take my tears elsewhere, and it would be a lovely idea that the most precious tear filled moments could be remembered with a tear jar. If I expand on it a little more I don’t know if they already exist in some cultures. I do remember a depiction in a film about the roman emperor Nero saving the tear he cried for a close friend in a little vile.
Anyways this art piece is specifically about storing tears, obviously precious on some level. Do they ever dry out? Do they have a lovely aroma or are off putting to the nasal passage.
Either way my little character looks very determined to keep on saving them. That is not a small jar she is holding.
I still have to tweak some areas before its finished finally. I will try and tell the back story for another piece tomorrow.
New art in my gallery and shop for sale. Contact me if you have any questions. My week by week art has been put aside for now. Too much on at once.
Ok so I bent my own rule tonight and painted the background of another of my artwork. I will be back on form tomorrow.
Here are some pics of other pieces of originals in my shop.
Hi everyone, hope you had a great weekend, I know I did, and am ready to continue the week on the same train. I blogged last week about my new project week by week art. So here is the first Pic of the week. This work is entitled ‘The Empress and herDaughters’ it’s a piece I drew along time ago on watercolour paper. It was black and white, but for the purpose of my week by week art, I coloured the background as a start towards finishing the piece by the end of this week.
i still doubt myself far too much when it comes to painting in colour especially my figurative work. Hope to have a progress pic tomorrow. At the end of the week I will upload it to my shop on etsy. See you soon.
Hi everyone, hope you had a great week. I have been working on a number of ideas recently and can’t wait to share them, the first idea is my venturing into ACEO’s with my abstract art and returning to abstract artwork for a while.
I have been trying to focus my work to a more personal level, I intend to spend even longer assessing and re-assessing each piece. I want them to be like jewels. Full of ‘yummy colours’ and also leaving me more open and vulnerable in the pieces.
I haven’t been blogging for a while, which isn’t good. But between having a new baby and still trying to set my goals regarding my art for 2013. I have been a busy bee indeed.
So many new goodies created by moi. I really don’t know where to start. So I will say hi for now and that you should check out my Etsy shop for my latest work for sale as prints.
