This painting was inspired when I recently saw a story on Liberty. I was fascinated by the story. I learnt a lot about this famous iconic figure and wanted to put it on a canvas. The architecture is absolutely a work of art. This painting is my interpretation of Liberty. I added lot of colors and effects to reflect Liberty. Now, I am asking my parents to take me to see this wonderful architecture.

About The Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States: a welcoming signal to immigrants arriving from abroad.

"What is on the inside, is what really matters." This painting showcases the silhouettes of two trees that are lonely and secluded from the others. They are always be called bad names like fat leaves or tiny trunk. But what is under that layer of bark is a warm inside that will let anyone enjoy it with them.

Story

I love the sound of OM. Om is not a word but rather an intonation, which, like music, transcends the barriers of age, race, culture and even species. It is made up of three Sanskrit letters, aa, au and ma which, when combined together, make the sound Aum or Om.

I like it because if it is repeated with the correct intonation, it can resonate throughout the body so that the sound penetrates to the centre of one's being, the atman or soul.

I created this painting to share my creative soul with you.

Last night I was at the memorial service of Nirbhaya who recently died from a brutal attack in New Delhi.  This memorial was hosted by WASITRAC.

This painting is about standing together to support each other.  Until recently, I was unsure of what this painting represented.  Nirbhaya just like many others in the world go through very bad situations because no one comes to help because people do not want to be involved.  Although everyone wants to help but they are afraid to and because of that many innocent people are hurt.

I believe that if we all stand together to help each other then many innocent people in the world will not get hurt and the world will be a better place.

I want all of you to download this painting and be reminded that when we speak up there are others who will stand up to support you.  Just take the STEP to say "Violence Has To Stop" and "We Stand With Each Other".

I believe the leadership, our community and my friends will all take the right steps to make right policies to make the world a better place. The time is now!! We need to stand together.

"People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing." John Porter

My sincere thanks to Rep. Marcie Maxwell for purchasing my painting  to be a part of the Democratic Caucus room in the State Capitol in Olympia, WA as a reminder that "WE STAND TOGETHER" to create healthier and safer communities.

Thanks for reading my view. Let me know what will make you stand together against violence.

I submitted this painting for an art competition. Let me know what you think.

Story in 100 words!!

A magical moment is when something spectacular happens in the most unexpected place. I experienced my magical moment at Tiger Mt Trail. After the long hike I decided to enjoy the sunset. I sat and watched the sky turn from bright blue to bright orange. As I was ready to leave a burst of wind touched my neck.  Thousands of birds flew over me and created beautiful formations. I was mesmerized at how wonderfully all the elements came together. I realized as long as you keep your eyes open there is a magical moment every day

STORY

This painting is my view on how I saw the Space Needle when the sun was setting behind the faraway hills of Mercer Island.  On that day when we were at Seattle, the sky reflected the evening sun with vibrant reds and oranges. The evening sky was lit up with bright colors and it made the Space Needle glow in the night.

I decided to paint this experience. To give you a quick background, Space Needle is an iconic building in Seattle. The Space Needle was built for the 1962 world fair. When it was built it was the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River.

At Space Needle, there are lots of artisans who showcase their art, a cool kids area to play, an EMP museum to visit and the most cool thing for me is to be on top of the space needle to see 360 degree view of the Seattle city. The restaurant on top of space needle is revolving and it is a fun experience to have dinner with your family.

Back to my story, when the sky was lit up with bright colors, the space needle was beautiful and gorgeous.  When you looked at it, it made the entire family to share their perspectives and filled the environment with happy energy. I loved it! This moment was so memorable, I will never forget it!

Hope you enjoy this painting and see Space Needle with a new perspective. I recommend everyone who comes to Seattle should make a visit and relish it.

How did i do this painting!

I did this painting on 12X48 canvas. I used many layers of bright red, purple, orange, blue and yellow colors to get the effect. I use acrylics to paint all my paintings.

What will i do if this painting sells:

I created this painting to support Showcase Seattle's mission. All the proceeds will be donated to Showcase Seattle efforts.  You can either purchase or share this post with your friends. This is part of the rainbow series.

When it is summer the trees bloom with joy, their pretty flowers bloom everywhere, so the tree can share their beauty with everyone around them. During the summer the big leaves on the tree turn a bright green under the sun enjoying the sunlight. When the season turns to autumn the leaves on the tree turn vibrant magenta's, oranges and reds. When it turns to winter the trees go into hibernation and drop all their colorful leaves to the ground, so it can take a long nap. Last when it is spring the trees slowly wake up. They grow little leaves that slowly grow into bigger leaves so when it is summer they can become a bright green with happiness. This cycle will never stop so the trees will always be joyful and happy.

I have started painting a new series of paintings I call “Trees, Trees and Trees”. I love them and I think you will to. Look for the products titled “Trees, Trees and Trees” to be posted in the next 2-3 weeks.

My Inspiration

This painting is inspired by Miska’s Barn. It was painted to show the beauty of farm animal including cows. This painting was made to evoke the full untold beauty of the barn by using deep colors, and depth. And I wanted to tell people when they look at the paining it is an important thing to have family always beside you.

My Inspiration

This painting is the exact opposite of the painting Barn Memories but showing the beauty of the barn. The colors are much different to show the vibrancy of the barn during sunny days. I wanted to show animals are important and belong in our life to show love and care. I did the painting by using deep, vibrant colors, and by using many different perspectives.

My poem expresses my perspective on Sunset Gorge:

Two colors makes a new color,

Two hearts makes a new soul,

Two perspectives makes a new vision,

Two animals make a new life,

Two mountains makes a sunset gorge!!

I gave this painting as a gift to a cool couple for their home warming ceremony. They said "WOW and they love it". I feel great today because I was able to capture their ideas and colors on my painting.

What other perspectives can you add that makes a new idea? Share your thoughts.

"WOW! This is better than I had thought it would be." exclaimed  Mrs. Sorenson when she saw her commissioned painting.

3 weeks ago, my coolest teacher Mrs. Sorenson's asked me to create a painting that captures her sweet memories of getting proposed.  This event was a once in a lifetime experience for them. I said Yes! I will surely do it.

What she wanted me to do was to preserve her memories on an canvas that makes her and her husband remember all the aspects of that day such as the  wind blowing on their face, seeing birds fly and chirp, and a beautiful sky  on that day when she was proposed.

I tried to capture her memorable experience in my painting. I used simple and delicate colors to show the romantic mood of nature,  the streaks  of the blue sky, the mellow gray bridge and the wooden docks where the birds were sitting and watching the magical moment.

I also surprised her by wrapping it well and making it special for her. I was so happy to see her reaction. As an artist, getting a great feedback make all the difference.

I am really jazzed that I could make a difference. Now the question for you is have you captured your memories on a canvas that makes you happy? Share your thoughts!

If you ever decide that you need to surprise someone or capture your memories on a canvas, please send me an email.

Firey Elk –Seek Help When You Need It. Don't be Shy!

This Christmas, I am offering 150 dollars off for short time.

The Story

On a warm July 31^st, a herd of elk were grazing nearby without a single care of what was happening around them. Then the alert call from the leader of the herd sends all the elks to stop eating and figure out where they threat is, the see a mountain lion that is watching them.

Suddenly, the mountain lion springs into action making all the elks panic. During this panic, one of the younger elk named James got separated from his herd while running for his life. While he is running as fast as the wind he gets his front right foot stuck in a mole hole and falls down. This fall fractured a small part of his leg which caused him a lot of pain. The good news is he was not attacked. Since James is still scared he keeps on running, he separates himself from his tribe.

 After many painful days of walking and being very lonely James decides to make leaf bed to sleep at for the night. It usually takes a regular deer 30 min to make a bed but it took the whole day for James because of his fractured foot. When he put his head on the bed of leaves, he immediately slept.

The sounding of crunching leaves wakes him up. He sees a small herd of elks but they don’t see him. James knows he really needs help. He makes a distressed cry which makes other elks to come towards him to help him. As the Elks come closer, James leg starts to magically heal and helps him recover from the pain. James thanks all the elks and joins the new tribe of elk. James shares his story and prepares the new tribe to learn ways to fight mountain lions.

The moral of the story is “Seek help when you need it. Don’t be shy”

I decided to create a beautiful rabbit who regained his confidence after losing everything.

I need your support. Please bid for my painting and make it part of your art collection by May21st,2011. BID ITEM #69

Here is the "Come Back" story as follows:

This story "Come Back" is about regaining confidence after losing everything.

In a rabbit legend, every time you do something good you get a color and most rabbits are more attracting.

It was a hot summer morning on a dry savanna, not much lived, but many could survive, this day was unusual the trees were more parched than ever and the ground as hard as metal.

Across the savanna the ground only sucked up the remaining liquid in moments, and as well as warming up the already burning ground.  When a rabbit was hopping around in a very unusual way. The hop of it’s was with the right front leg off the ground just like a limping horse.

The rabbit had been in an intense fight that day with a coyote but it had barely escaped. But before the scary encounter the rabbit was a very beautiful rabbit, the prettiest of all the rabbits. The rabbit had blues, greens, red, and many more wonderful colors.

The fight made the rabbit very bloody. The blood had wiped his beautiful coat right off him.

. He lost his beautiful colors because he engaged in a fight. To regain his colors, he has to help fellow rabbits.

Now the rabbit was alone none of his friends liked him anymore because of his pale, no color coat. He tried to help as many people at night because that was the time when no one other rabbits helped the older rabbits, including the elderly. He got pinches of blue that night, from helping the elderly. Then he got red, then browns, then black and many more colors.

My painting is of the rabbit after it regained his colors. The rabbit’s friends all came back and the rabbit lived a wonderful life happily ever after.
