Twilight

 

"Twilight" - ©Anahid - 2015 - acrylics, aqua oils and collage on canvas

This is the fourth painting in the Shadows series. At least it started out as 'shadows' but it evolved into Twilight— two people and their dog walking on a beach at twilight overlooking San Francisco and a bridge (we can't be too specific, since this is not a graphic representation, but an inspirational one).

This painting was painted over another painting from many years ago, which I did not particularly want to keep— it happens that way sometimes, because of space limitations etc.

Please enjoy, comment and share.

The Root of Being

©Anahid 2012 - acrylics, oils and sand on canvas, 36"x24"

The heart is the root of being. It is the first organ that develops in the fetus. The roots of a tree, a human heart.... I like making connections between nature and our lives as humans. I like to make connections because I see these patterns in nature that repeat themselves everywhere, in leaves and roots as well as in our brains and our circulatory systems. We seem to be all part of a mysterious pattern of growth. 

This painting came out of a drawing I did last spring after my husband had an open heart surgery.

I was doodling in my little sketch book with my favorite 4B pencil, trying to deal with what was going on without going bonkers. Although I liked the drawing a lot, I didn't come to paint it months later. I often go through and look at my various sketchbooks, new and old, to see which idea I want to develop or to make into a painting, which isn't always the case.
