Day/Night eyes - 'Live life like nobody is watching'

Hi!! happy Saturday to everyone!. Here's another of my designs which I made for my sister's birthday. One day this summer while I was having breakfast, an idea slipped into my mind, so I decided to take a piece of paper & a pencil, and started capturing the image I had stuck in my mind, until I got something alike to what I was picturing

Basically the basis of my drawing were EYES. I wanted to show something different, symbolic, so I linked it to life as a metaphor, comparing life to eyes. Taking into action the well known proverb and phrase quoted by so many - 'Eyes are the windows to the soul'. It may be a universal truth that eyes are a crucial part of our bodies because they reflect people's feelings, personality and so other things that are enough to tell what one is like. Besides, day and night are both involved in a parallel way to indicate some contrast in the painting (yellow + red for the brightness of the day/ blue + green for the night)

Finally, other meaning I thought of was the one related to the phrase that encompasses the 4 pieces of coloured cardboard : D ('live life like nobody is watching') which has to do with living your life as you want, with your successes and failures, but not pretending to be someone different just for being cooler or simply liking others (that is why I incorporated blinds in the night cards, to explain that it has no point to hide away from who you actually are & the things you like to do. It's perfect to be yourself)

So there is my description of this painting. Thanks a lot for reading!.Let me know what ya think please. It would be amazing to know all kind of opinions, they are more than welcome.

See you soon guys, have a nice weekend!!

'I have a dream'

 As everyone probably know, today it has been 50 years since Martin Luther King, Jr. gave off his extraordinary 'I have a dream' speech at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C. I wanted to make a special mention here as a sign of remembrance to this man who made a hugely positive change in the world and turned out as an inspiration to so many people.

'Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere' - Albert Einstein

Hello everyone over there!. My name is Ana and drawing is my soft spot. I'm not a professional artist at all, but someone who really loves art and finds peace and joy in it. I'm not really keen on creating webs or other kind of Internet stuff because I'm not such good at computers honestly, but I thought it was time to open my own blog and share things I love to do and wing it with you all!

Personally, I think IMAGINATION is a precious treasure that everyone should retain not only when we are kids, but as we are growing up. It is the key in our lives because is endless and it has got the capacity to get every single person away from reality, even though just a second but definitely worth it. (< - that's why I attached that famous quote I really like from Albert Einstein)

So I truly hope you like it and always let me know if there's anything you'd like to add please. Suggestions are more than welcomed!. I'll try my hardest to make the most of this blog and keep you posted.

Stick around! : )

Love,
