A Lovely Smile



This is an image of one of my paediatric patients. When she falls sick, she hardly complains - she is indeed a brave little girl, always putting up a smile which shows how well she deals with her difficulties in life!

Apart from the English country home and butterflies, everything else is painted from scratch. Pavement is a texture from cgtextures.com

All my artworks are created using Wacom pen and tablet.
Thank you for watching!

A Fragrant Bath




In this piece, I try to bring in as many colors as possible, but keeping them in relation to one another, and hoping that none of them is too intense or straining to the eyes....a sort of color crusade for me.

Painted from scratch, meaning no painting over a photo image. Model photo is that of my artist friend.
Feel free to comment :-)

Age of Disbelief




© 2009 hiddenstream.blogspot.com

She is the last of the legion of angels to survive in this age of disbelief, but she knows that her time is up. Soon she will be transformed into stone, like the others. She will have her freedom again but not after another thousand years when she will be released by the sheer miracle of prophetic words.

Thanks much for watching! In FULL VIEW, it may look better

Applegate





Christina Applegate, breast cancer victim and survivor - voted World's Most Beautiful by People's Magazine recently

Painted from blank digital canvas using Wacom Graphire 2 pen and tablet. I've been using this same old tablet for the past 8 - 9 years, and it hasn't given me any issue. Problem is the hair didn't turn out well because it doesn't have pen pressure function, unlike Wacom Intuos series.
Overall I'm quite happy especially how the cool/warm colors turned out - no color filter used btw
Thank you for watching. FULL VIEW much appreciated ^^

A Bleeding Heart




It was early morning. The night creatures were returning to their hiding places and the mist were starting to disappear. There were some rustling of large leaves and crackling of grass and undergrowth as a soft thump was heard. A jungle rodent was seen scurrying from one end of the clearing to another.
A wing had fallen off from a young timid angel as the first rays of morning light kissed her body. She was bleeding from the stump, and in pain, just as her heart was bleeding love. There was no one to wrap his arm around her, to feel safe with. It was way back, when Love was always there for her, but the memories were fading. With disbelief, came the disappearance of her fellowship of angels. Sometimes, she too had wondered if god really existed. The evidence grew stronger everyday – it was really part of human’s wish fulfillment. Everyone had been wishing for a ‘secret garden’ to feel complete with, if he or she so desired.
But it didn’t matter anymore. Her survival depended on the human will. If everyone could still work out their own ‘celestial destiny’, even if in their imagination, then she would one day be able to grow back her wing and soar above the clouds, and she would be able to air dance to the delight of her makers.

Painted from blank digital canvas.
Crap! I'm not good with wings, that's why I left out one. Hopefully, I'll be able to make better wings next time :-)

Those Wandering Thoughts




She loves to sleep under a bright blue sky but still she is afraid......that when she wakes up, everything that she dreamt of will be gone.
