Babbles of a Lover and a Fighter

Hello again!  It’s good to be back.  =)

The trip to the Philippines was amazing to say the least.  It had been ten years since I last visited, and things have definitely changed, the most notable being an increase in the number of paved roads.  I’ll definitely be putting up photos and stories in the next few days, but for now, here are a couple of paintings I did while I was out of town.

Mind you, this is the first time I’ve ever really painted, and I found it very calming.  There’s just something therapeutic about being able to reach inside your head and smear it on a canvas.  I’m not sure how other people do it, but I found the best way for me (at least for these two pieces) was to let my mind go blank then imagine colors.

I would like to continue painting and trying new mediums.  I think the more ways you find to express yourself, the better you can do so.  I think I’ve found something I’ve needed for awhile, and it’s pretty cathartic.

Artsy-fartsy stuff aside, trip stories and photos to come!
