Half way there…

GEF714~1

I painted for almost 11 hours today! My eyes, hand and arm need some rest… and yet, my heart and soul ask for more!

It´s been so much fun to paint this sculpture! Besides all the daily adversities, life always offers fantastic (and perhaps disguised) presents.

We have to keep an open heart to recognize them… They may look simple or meaningless, but they are definetely up-lifting!

I´m grateful for the gift of painting!

And you? What are you grateful for?

“An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.”   Elbert Hubbard (1856 – 1915)

 

One can never regret being truthfull. Sometimes life seems unfair and it looks like the liers will get away with it…

But no. Time is wise and love, success and happyness is the ultimate destination for those with truth and loyalty at heart.

Art is not yet providing the bread, but it will. Art is saving me. But who´s gonna save you from your own lies?

How can something that gives such pleasure and joy be called “work”? I´m so blessed!

THERE IS A COW IN MY LIVING ROOM!

Have you ever heard of “The Cow Parade”?

I was invited to paint one for the local edition of this fantastic parade (in São Paulo, Brazil) and I´m loving it!

The sculpture arrived blank and I´m already working on it. If you want to follow the making of the cow, keep visiting my blog!

It´s going to be a lot of fun!

PS: My cow will be a “naive” cow…and it will be like inside of a house… Are you curious? Than wait until my next post!

Rio 2016

Passe a bola - 40x30

Rio de Janeiro will host the Olympic Games in the year 2016. Great! But how can anyone wait that long for something to happen? It is SEVEN long years!!! Life can´t wait!  I know I can´t.  Let´s play and have fun right now!

LITTLE GIRL BLUE

This painting was inspired on this beautiful Janis Joplin´s song…

“Little Girl Blue”

Sit there, hmm, count your fingers.
What else, what else is there to do ?
Oh and I know how you feel,
I know you feel that you’re through.
Oh wah wah ah sit there, hmm, count,
Ah, count your little fingers,
My unhappy oh little girl, little girl blue, yeah.

Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops
Oh, feel ’em falling down, oh honey all around you.
Honey don’t you know it’s time,
I feel it’s time,
Somebody told you ‘cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
It’s gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they’re falling down, honey, all around you.
Oh, I know you’re unhappy.

Oh sit there, ah go on, go on
And count your fingers.
I don’t know what else, what else
Honey have you got to do.
And I know how you feel,
And I know you ain’t got no reason to go on
And I know you feel that you must be through.
Oh honey, go on and sit right back down,
I want you to count, oh count your fingers,
Ah my unhappy, my unlucky
And my little, oh, girl blue.
I know you’re unhappy,
Ooh ah, honey I know,
Baby I know just how you feel.

YES I DO…
