Illustration Friday Theme: Burst

if burst This is my posting for the Illustration Friday theme, Burst. The diver burst onto the scene out of nowhere. The cat eyed the man warily, as he looked like he might burst through the wall.

    The first thing that struck me is the disproportion of the figure that is on the outside
    but, then, looking fine details, I understand that there is a "game" of looks, which are the starting point for my eyes roam each of the spaces of your painting
    and you want me to tell you where my visual tour ends? in the clear sky on the horizon
    although the brightness on the cushion is so strong that would catch my eye ... but I ignored it :) I would not let him come into my mind
    I liked this!

      Hi Roberto,

      I'm glad you noted the size of the figure. I deliberately wanted her to grab attention - or "burst" onto the scene. Did she just dive from the roof, or are you viewing a scene on a big screen television? I hope you enjoy your weekend! Work well (on art of course)!

    Hi Ally, thank you very much for your comment!!
    Perhaps the road with poplars that you saw in NZ is the same that I saw. I have one of my daughters living in NZ, married to a New Zealander. and I was there last year. There are no coincidences? Ha Ha!!!!
    Greetings from Argentina!

    Thank you very much A.!!! :)
    I did not really want any more birthdays ha ha!
    I wanted to be 50 forever, but the reality is different.
    Anyway I'm happy.
    the idea of a man going through a "wall" was to play one more year is like going to something new, right?
    I'm glad you liked my little drawing. :)))
    Thanks, and good week for you!!

Illustration Friday Theme: Imagination

This is my posting for this week's Illustration Friday theme, Imagination. In many cultures, the raven was a symbol of communication with the imagination, and subconcious. It was also viewed as sometimes being a mischievous trickster. At times the sun will strike its feathers at the right angle, and reveal an iridescent band of colour.

Illustration Friday Theme: Totem

Image
This is my posting for the Illustration Friday theme, Totem. Totem is defined as a natural object or animal believed by a society to have spiritual significance, and adopted by it as an emblem. Crane mythology has a long history in many cultures (particularly in Asia) as symbolic of happiness and eternal youth. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures, and symbolizes good fortune and longevity. It has a fabled lifespan of a thousand years. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. After WWII, the crane came to symbolize peace and the innocent victims of war.
