sweet surrender

after having much thought about whether or not i give it its own space other than my atelierniSHASHA, and finally giving time, here it is - a virtual repository of all things i    created from paper, leads, charcoal, watercolors, paints, pastels, and just about anything that I think will inspire another soul. i will attempt to create as many artworks as possible so that someday when i'm old, i can tell my grandkids that granny exuded some kind of bravery back in the days, too. 

here's my latest work. that's erykah badu in a tom ford perfume ad. 

i thought the original photo is very beautiful in all aspects. most importantly, i like an image that is full of passion - be it a dancer moving with the wind, or a musician grooving to the beat, a painter who is in the flow, a scientist mentally calculating the possibilities, or even a kid, so immersed in her little play.

now, don't get too excited. i ain't a pro, yet. i'm just starting and only halfway my 10-session workshop with a nice mentor. perhaps, after 30 posts, that artwork is already sailing to a private collector! 

xoxo,
