Margarita, Oil on canvas |

The hummingbird is drinking from Margarita glass. The strawberry margarita remains a focal point as the bird is pointing down with its beak to it and leading the eye toward the center. Celebration, happinness and cheer. Very pleasing composition, and bright scarlet colors make this painting stand out. Labels: Liquid Creations |

If You Like Pina Colada, nude, Oil on Cavas |

"If you like pinacoladas and getting caught in the rain!" What a very bright painting! Eye candy. A nude red haired woman in the glass of Pina Colada appears to be showering herself in the rain -- under the orange cloud. Around the glass, there are orange butterfly wings...This is a Summer painting of pleasure and delight. Labels: Liquid Creations, Oil Painting |

Heavenly |
 Not finished yet; wings still need feathers, but I really like the composition. This is an older painting.Labels: Liquid Creations, Oil Painting |

Golden Sunset - Oils on cradled hardboard |
 This a very bright painting, with a sense of glow, where the lit parts stand out even in the darkness. Look for all sorts of shapes in the clouds! Since this is a digital photo of an actual, still-wet painting, this image desires to be reproduced better - the colors are still brilliant but on the photo are much darker than in reality; and yet when I brightened it in Photoshop the photo has become washed out, losing most of it's rich orange and mahogany colors; in a week or two I will try to scan it. Here is a good example of a direct, one sitting painting. Since I don't use any mediums or chemical dryers I will let the painting dry on its own and then will apply another layer of transparent yellows and oranges and will perform minor adjustments, and then sign it. This is number 9 in my Liquid Creations series, which is all about drinks and where they take me. I think this is the brightest painting I've done so far.

Pomegranate Bliss, 8x10 Oil on Canvas |

Everyone knows that both pomegranates and wine are good for your heart -- in fact, they are so loaded with antioxidants, they are called "a miracle drug for aging". I see a lot of cheer in the darkness and richness of shadows, this velvety darkness adds a mystery to the painting. The brightly lit sides contribute to the"singing colour" and create a simple, yet subtle beauty with an internal glow . The three seeds of the pomegranate contrast beautifully with the white of a tablecloth. They look delicious even from up here. The canvas was specially primed and sanded to an eggshell smooth surface, thus a superior handling of the paint. There are quite a few glazes that helped me achieve this glow, and it took about 8 hours to complete this painting. Labels: Liquid Creations, Oil Painting |

The Good Life, Oil Painting on canvas, fish in a martini glass |
 Ahh...think the Good Life. A happy little clown fish is swimming in a martini glass(possibly, blue curasau?) 'neath what looks like sparkling, icey mountains; and the glass itself appears to be glowing in the dark! Part of my Liquid Creations collection.Labels: Liquid Creations, Oil Painting |

Eye See You! Oil Painting on Canvas. |
 Eye See You is an Eye candy. Now it is hanging in my living room and it adds so much dimension to my wall that it is like a 3-D image, you can't take your eyes off of it, it draws you right in! Originally started as a cup of coffee, I did not plan the eye in it, I just waited to see where the painting will take me. The background is sandy beach and the seashore with waves crashing in the distance. I must confess I fell in love with this painting and will have hard time parting with it!Labels: Liquid Creations, Oil Painting |

Liquid creations - start of the series - OIL PAINTING |


If you've been wondering where have I disappeared in the summer, worry not...I have a lot of wonderful developments on the horizon. I am working on a professional website, meanwhile I have a LIQUID CREATIONS collection of gorgeous oil paintings that I'd like to present over this week, and more! I have been working exclusively in OILS since I have received such an immensely positive feedback, and painting about 8 hours a day has become my daily routine. I also went "knee deep" into pastel portraiture so more about that soon! What do I like to paint? I don't want to lock myself into any particular niche just yet, but I've found that I like fantasy. I like to take something real and turn it unreal. So this brings me to... Introducing "Liquid Creations", my August 2008 collection. Everything you can drink of, but with a twist! I am starting innocently enough, with "HAPPY HENNESSY" 8"x10", length-wise, done in old masters/Flemish technique, "Happy Hennessy" by Angela Leppard. There's a word "Happy" written on the bottle of Hennessy, and a blue violet flower is nodding proudly from the sniffer glass. Founded by Irishman, this cognac has won over roalty and well-known names, linking its image with prestigious places and special events, and earning a reputation of a top quality, luxury product. Through this glorious painting, 240 years of Hennessy history are shining through and the viewer is mesmerised by colours of golden glow and blue reflections.
This ageless masterpeice will cheer many hearts and will fill any room with a feeling of "HAPPY"! Objects in the painting appear to be glowing with a warm, orange colour against a completely black background.
The canvas is a highest quality portrait grade duck cotton, which I sized myself and primed with 50% acrylic primer/ 50% modeling paste, making it very strong and eggshell-smooth, like a panel board. I do not use any extenders or thinners for my technique, and the paints I use are a combination of Maimeri Puro and Robert Doaks, which have the highest pigment load and handle exceptionally. Notice the intensity of reds. All pigments are extremely lightfast, even the black one - they will never discolour over time.
How I paint: I am very passionate about painting, so I paint fast, the paints are literally flying everywhere and stuff is falling around me constantly. I am always painting in the "momentum", and I take breaks before I lose it, tire, and before my heart stops beating fast. I think this is the key to inspired, fresh painting, -- a painting that I feel has a life of it's own. If I stopped to doubt, to read a book, to open a computer file, it would not work. I let the painting do the teaching, while I enjoy the process, that's all there's to it.
Liquid Creations...When I came up with them I hoped to put more emphasis on "creations", rather than "liquid". After all, drinks are just a human factor, which does not belong to the sea. They can be enjoyed in space, in the air, in the water, and on the ground/and under! We like them everywhere. Drinks have become essential part of our living, a ritual of a certain point in time and space. Where would the wedding be without a champaigne? What ballgame can you imagine without a beer? Who would be murdered without my morning coffee? Anyways, I've been told to NOT interpret my paintings, so why don't YOU see your world in them and read them for me?Labels: Liquid Creations |
