8th March 2025 Kala & Beena   When I saw Kala’s painting of sunrise, I saw Hope. Yes, despite what happens, each new day’s sunrise reflects Hope. We need to grasp Hope and enjoy that day. Have you noticed that each sunrise is unique? Sometimes, we cannot see the sun until it is high up,…

8th March 2025 Beena   I received many compliments on my watercolour painting of the hens. I was inspired to paint the hens by photos from Guence and Chiam. They both keep a mini-zoo in their homes. I have a story to this painting, but it is entirely my imagination and fictional😍😍. “Once upon a…

3rd March 2025 Beena    Hello, everyone. When I shared my painting last Friday, I was overwhelmed by the insightful comments about reflections. I painted that bird using a palette knife with acrylic paints, a process I undertook independently and found satisfaction in.   I used a photo from Pinterest as a reference but added…

    22nd February 2025 Mr Mani & Beena   Hi everyone, Mr Mani Menon shared this abstract art with me on 5th January 2025. At first, I struggled to articulate my thoughts, but this morning, I found myself drawn to specific elements.   I saw a house nestled in a garden, with a view…

Born in Nantes on April 4, 1864, Puigaudeau’s work is a testament to his fascination with light. In 1919, he dedicated four years to preparing for an exhibition in…

  16th February 2025 Wendy & Beena   When I saw this beautiful painting, it reminded me of Serenity. The couple sitting on the cliff are at peace. As always, Wendy’s paintings are in the Chinese style. Nevertheless, one is reminded that art in any form evokes many thoughts. We can interpret this painting in…

  16th February 2025 Beena   I was inspired to paint this mother and baby seal cuddling together in snow from a photo that Ramesh Varma took while he was in Antarctica. I was amazed by the expressive eyes of that seal. I found this tutorial by Emily Olsen online and recreated it. I painted…

11th February 2025 Joy   I love this red parrot painted by Joy. It exudes great confidence, and the red feathers make it look outstanding. I have added the following quote:   You can rise up from anything. You can completely recreate yourself. Nothing is permanent. You’re not stuck. You have choices. You can think…

11th February 2025 Isaiah Ong & Beena   I was immediately drawn to the simplicity of Isaiah Ong’s pencil drawing, a teenager who has previously shared his paintings on this website. The cat in the drawing seems to be communicating with me through its eyes, a feeling I often experience with my own pets🫠. Have…
