"A Romantic at Heart and Plumage"


A peacock is romantic at heart, wishing to woo, and surely, he is admired by not just hens, but living beings of many kinds.

I drew this for my Uncle, who is the most romantic person I've ever met!
Not only is he extremely loving of everyone, he is a role model of righteousness.

In Accord With The Universe



My new slightly abstract piece of art talks about mutual influence. The thick skinned apple may appear like it is unaffected by the atmosphere, and yet it is...(Seen by the yellow and blue blotches common to both the apple and the surroundings.) Similiarly, the apple (representative of any object, living or non-living) affects and influences it's surroundings (seen by the red blotches in the surroundings that are symbolic of coming from the apple.)
When the apple is sliced, it is more 'open' and receptive, as it's skin, and also it's shield, ego, mask etc, is covering only a portion of it, and not the whole. So, the slice as seen on the right is far more 'affected' by the surroundings, (in reality, the darkening of the apple as it's iron get's oxidized) and hence attracts more of the yellow (and eventually the blue) elements from it's surroundings...
People, to some extent are like this apple, and we are constantly interacting with our environment and surroundings. We pick up the negative vibes, and the positive vibes, and we also influence the surroundings with the energies we give off...


*P.S. Sorry about the bad photography. The reflection of the flash in the middle messes with the perception and depth.
Size of painting is approximately 14x14.5 cm.
