Gorgeous Abstract Art Pieces for Your Walls

I'm so excited! I just opened a new Etsy shop who specializes in Abstract Watercolor Art. I've created 70 digital watercolor paintings so far, and they are all available for purchase.
I really like to focus on nature and water, so most of them will be calm and breathtaking.
And the best part? All the pictures are downloadable! Which means you are saving time and money, no delivery or other manufacture costs... just download the art piece, print it and hang it on your wall!

Here are 3 of them (click on pics to see them on the shop)

Monday at The Beach - Watercolor

Hi there,

I love the beach, unfortunately I don't visit there quite often. It is only 25 min. drive from my house but I rarely went there this year...

This week I decided to enjoy the nature, on Monday morning! I thought that it would be calm and quiet on the weekdays, and I was right! Only few people were there, no shouting, kids or loud families. Just the water, the sand and the sky. I took my camera and some watercolor equipment just in case.

After two hours I felt inspired and gave it a try, it was windy, the paper got some sand and my dog began to bark and pull me. It wasn't ideal , but I managed to create something on the spot, and I liked it!

Allow me to share with you a photo of the place, and my watercolor painting.

If you like the painting, you can purchase a high quality print in my online store.

It felt so good to paint nature on the spot, I think I will do it more and more.

Thanks for visiting, see you next time!

Bamboo Abstract - Photography

Hi there,

Last week I went to a photo shoot at a very beautiful place in our town. This place is a some kind of university, with a beautiful botanic garden and a rare rural feel, right in the center of the city. I was strolling there numerous times, and I took several photos during the years. This time I wanted to explore other charming spots that were hidden from the eye. I will post the selected photos after I'll select the best of them. Meanwhile, I am posting today a beautiful and artistic photo from this place. I call it "Bamboo Abstract". I love it! Check it out :

If you love it too, you can purchase a print of this piece in my Zazzle Shop.

Until next time, have a great weekend :)

The Lizard King - Digital Paint

Hi there,

As I told you in the last post, I am painting a series of different animals (besides dogs), I want to make them exceptional, crazy, fun and funky. This time I painted an optimistic piece of a green lizard resting happily on a rock in a field. The natural scenario accompanied by a bright wonderful day - blue sky and fluffy clouds.
I created the lizard, which some will say: a scary reptile, as a cool and smiling creature.

My initial thought was to create this lizard especially for T-shirts, but it turned out to be quite a beautiful piece, and can easily fit as a wall decoration.

Take a look :

Stay tuned for more surprising art!

Feel and Smell the Land

Hi there,

Another refreshing Saturday photo shoot in nature, another close-by location, another simple yet wonderful captures :)

Feel and smell those everyday treasures - the mud, the oranges, the flowers. Your head can really spin out of joy!

Take a look :

Smell the Citrus

Scent of a Wet Soil

Flight of the Bumble Bee

I say, if you want to feel wealthy, appreciate the simple things! What do you think?

Early in the Morning - Capturing Nature

Hi all,

Yesterday morning I woke up pretty early (for a Saturday). I took my camera, my dog and started exploring my surroundings. Winter arrived and gave me many opportunities to capture it.
Take a look at some photos that I took while I was strolling. Enjoy :)

Beauty is in the pine of the beholder

Hi there,

Today I will post here a photo from today's photo shoot. It was just a simple pine tree, nothing special, but the angle, the diagonal branch and the bokeh make the difference - as I said many times before , composition is everything. And by the way no filter was added.

Earth Day

Hi there!

Tomorrow (22/04/2012) is "Earth Day".
Needless to say how important is to take care of our planet and the environment. After all, we live here, our children will live here... and who wants to live in a toxic and filthy house?

To increase the awareness of this crucial topic I'm posting here some designs that I've created during the years, and are related to this important day.

• Sketched robots holding hands, surrounding earth. This design tells us to take care of our planet as well as each other. 

Take care of our planet AND each other

• Nature treasures so much beauty, wild life and colors, you got to love it!   

• As the years go by, we understand more and more the benefits of bicycle riding. it reduces pollution, traffic, keeps us healthier and it is fun :)

•  Nature can create some beautiful images. A capture of crystal clear water inside a grotto, turned out to be a beautiful and artistic abstract.  

Remember! "Earth Day" is an important day, but it's just a date. What we should really need to do, is to  celebrate and to take care of our planet (our home...) everyday!

Photography - Rock, Nature and Hell's Angels

Hi !

This Saturday was a lovely day, you could really feel the spring. The sun came out but it wasn't too hot. Me and other two friends (also photographers) decided to visit a small rock gathering, arranged by our favorite radio show (on 88fm), in a forest. We decided to go there without any expectations, bring some beers and just to chill, hoping for some "Kodak" moments.

Well, to our surprise we arrived pretty early, we we're kind of disappointed, but everything turned around just fine. A bunch of heavy Harley Davidsons surprised us with their unmistakable roar, and some typical Hell's Angels look a likes appeared. On the other hand some young kids and innocent teenagers popped in with their acoustic guitars. It was chaotic and lovely, different kind of people, different ages, but they all shared the same passion : Rock Music!

For us, it was a great photo opportunity.

Here are some photos from the event. Click on the photos to enlarge.

Chaotic but fun :)
