Fall Leaf In Watercolor Shades – Quote Painting

It’s September and Fall is on it’s way. Leaves are falling and new beginning is calling. To welcoming Fall season, I’ve painted a maple leaf in watercolor fall shades. When I think of fall, I think of maple leaf. Maple leaf is so pretty with its distinguish shape and its changing colors.

I painted the maple leaf in fall colors. I also added a quote “Fall; leaves are falling and new beginning is calling”. It’s a great fall quote painting for your inspiration. Many creations can be creatively created from this piece of fall leaf quote painting.

I started with a thin pencil sketch of a maple leaf. I prepared six colors that representing fall. The six colors are; in painted order :

1. Burnt Sienna watercolor
2. Crimson watercolor
3. Vermilion watercolor
4. Yellow Ochre watercolor
5. Lemon Yelow watercolor
6. Gold poster color

I used gold poster color because I don’t have gold watercolor. So, it’s not a certain thing to follow. I love gold leaf look which makes Fall perform in more glamorous way. Like I have mentioned before, this fall leaf quote painting in watercolor shades can be an inspiration to create other creative form to welcome Fall season.

Creativity Quote With Whale Painting

This time I’ve painted a whale in a watercolor, a cute blue whale. I painted it in cartoon style, which I think looks so adorable. I also added a creativity quote “Creativity blows your mind”. The word “blows” relates to the whale’s blowhole, where they blow out all the water that they inhaled before together with the air. And creativity can really blows your mind. Anything seems possible with creativity, no boundaries, mesmerizing, and mind blowing.

Creativity is amazing and so does a whale. A very big mammal that feed, mate, give birth, suckle and raise their young at ocean. And the word “whale” comes from the Old English hwæl, from Proto-Germanic hwalaz, from Proto Indo European (s)kwal-o-, meaning “large sea fish”. Whales have been through some evolving process, from land-living mammals. For instance, whales must breathe air regularly, though they able to remain descend under water for long periods of time and even some whale species can stay below the sea surface for 90 minutes. Some have blowholes, some only have one blowhole (modified nostrils) which you can find it on the top of their heads, the blowhole is where the air is taken in and expelled. Pretty amazing right? So a whale is worth to be at a quote painting of creativity.

I made this quote painting in watercolor as my painting hobby and words playing. A painting and some words play can make an interesting quote painting which leads to printable as decoration or a cover for your agenda or anything you would like to put at. The words and the painting can reminds you and / or at the same time would inspire you.

Quote Painting As Decoration – Be High In Creativity

I was feeling of painting something today and the quote “Be High In Creativity” has been on my mind for a while. The phrase came in mind with a view of pine trees by the coastal area. I painted it in watercolor and the quote painting can be used as a decoration for your home office with a beach home theme.

Why did I choose the pine tree to describe my quote? Because it can grow from 3 to 80 m (10–260 ft) tall, with the majority of species are mostly reaching 15–45 m (50–150 ft) tall. Pines are usually long lived kind of tree and typically reach ages of 100–1,000 years, some even more. Pine trees are evergreen which means it still have leaves throughout the year, therefor the tree would look green in any season.  You would probably ask, why a pine tree grow on coastal area? Well, there is one type of pine that usually grow on coastal area and that is Pinus contorta, which commonly known as lodgepole pine and shore pine, or sometimes  known as twisted pine. Contorta pine is a common tree in western North America. It grows near the ocean shore and also in dry mountain forests, but the tree is rare in lowland rain forests.

So for those who love to paint, take your brush and start to paint something beautiful to decorate your home. And for those who love to create something, hope you get inspired to be high in your creativity! Happy creative day and “be high in creativity”!

Take A Coffee Break Quote Painting

Sometimes we work so hard trying to fulfill our targets until we forget to take care of ourselves, smiling, or simply enjoy a beautiful view. So, whatever you are doing right now, take a break and enjoy something you really love to do, maybe with a cup of tea or a cup of coffee. Relax and enjoy it until your cup is empty. Take a break, because even wave has a break.

I feel relax when I draw, it’s like a therapy for me. And when it’s finished, it gives me a good feeling and a smile. For me, painting or drawing is also a break from hectic routine, therefore, I have painted a cup of coffee for a break and a background view of some waves breaking by the beach. I painted it in watercolor with a quote “Take a break, even wave has a break”.

It’s a mid-week, get your self energized to deal with the rest of the week, a coffee break should raise up your energy level. Hope you enjoy my quote painting and let your self take a break, sit down, make yourself a delicious coffee and enjoy whatever thing you feel therapeutic for you. Don’t be too hard on yourself! Have a nice break!

CHAIN LETTER TAG – HAPPINESS

I was nominated by dear Ribana for this Chain Letter with “happiness” as the topic. It’s a happy feeling to get nominated for happiness quotes, because it’s good to be happy people! Shinny happy people…. 😀 And Ribana is one of the shinny happy blogger I know, stop by her blog Popsicle Society to read her happy posts about food, travel, inspirations, dogs… and you will find yourself smiling and inspired.

Thank you Ribana to share happiness with me and made me think of my version of happiness for days. Well, actually my version of happiness is always the same since I was a little, so I spent the days thinking was on how to show it in graphics. 🙂 So, I painted this watercolor picture of my happiness with my happiness quote.

The Rules for this “Chain-Letter” as copied from Ribana’s post:

1. Thank the selector.
2. Post two quotations for the dedicated “Topic of the Day” (in this case, “happiness”).
3. Select three bloggers to take part in “3-2-1 Quote Me!”

My quotes:

“Whoever is happy will make others happy.”

– Anne Frank

There are some people that I guess have been blessed with happy aura; because when you hang out with these happy people, you just keep smiling and even laugh a lot. Even when you look at their face and you instantly want to smile big. Well, to me, a laugh or a smile is one of a happy gesture.

“My happy loved ones are my happiness.”

– Mel

When my loved ones are sad, sick or in trouble, I’ll have a trouble heart and mind, all reflects on my face and effect my body. But when my loved ones are happy, I straight away change into happy mode. Having my loved ones have a happy life brings peace and joy to my heart. I’m sure lots of people feel that way too.
