Mane

I did this quite a while ago. I used oil and no brushes, only my fingers as I want it to flow freely without the struggle to manipulate the brush. The result is as above...flowy and entangled at the same time...with traceable textures....

This painting is now hanging on the wall of my living room.

Two Nude Women

Oil on canvas

Two nude women. One is facing the heat/fire like element, the other turning her back on it. The message is, two vulnerable (naked) women have made their choices in life. While one is succumbing to the bad but highly tempting life choices, the other simply had the good sense to turn around and leave. Which one are you?

The Pier

Oil on canvas 24" x 27 1/2"

The Pier was done in oil. I like the blue/green/purple tones I used on the top half of the painting. I think it goes well with the burnt umber/sienna/white combo on the bottom half. As usual, lazy me was too lazy to take out my SLR and snapped this painting using a camera phone instead. So, I think you will like it better if you could see it in person. This painting was inspired by the pier I went to in Bali. If I am not mistaken it is somewhere near Candidasa.

Tempayan

Oil on canvas

I did this to test how patient I am with 1. Oil 2. painting objects. To tell you the truth, it takes a lot of focus and observation to replicate these tempayans onto canvas. The shades, the light etc. I am not sure if it is successful but to me the process is the learning part in itself. I abandoned the painting 80% to completion. Maybe one fine day I will pick up the brush again and continue finishing it. The wooden table top and the mug still need a lot of working on.

The Autumn

Oil on canvas (can't recall the size)

I wished I had taken this picture with an SLR instead of camera phone as it will show the details of the texture and the colour mix better. Unfortunately I can't do that now as it is no longer in my possession. I gave it away as a birthday pressie to a friend. The colours used are orange, red, yellow, brown with a bit of blue, colours of autumn. Since it was done in oil, getting the colours to be in harmony and not end up muddy was quite a challenge. I think it turned out brilliantly.

Rempit!

Oil on canvas 24" x 27 1/2"

I know this painting is a bit off putting to some. It depicts a rempit who has just kissed the tar road...hehe. I personally loath them as they are a menace to road users. I myself had a bad experience with them. The visual is simplified by use of squares and rectangles however, I find this painting to be tedious as the process involved had to do with a lot of texturizing and colour layering. This now resides in Damansara Perdana.
