Still Looking Back on the past Year!.....Art as Healing....

The past year brought with it a lot of changes and lessons too !...plus one turning point.... I realized the value of Life much more than I ever had..when my mother in law died in front of me....after battling illness for a long time.... Death is an inescapable truth that humans must all face!.... I have painted in the last year and it was during my Birds in Kenya series that her illness began to take a toll!...Since then, my art journey still continued and somehow Art has a way of healing too....below is what I came up with during the last year and after the sudden death of a close family member.... I realized more than ever what is inside of us never stops being there...I still went back to my brushes during and after that turning point....although it did take some time!......

Keeping it Real with the colours..

Its been a while....this last year and a half has been a different one to say the least!.....but I have been away from writing...….and more of painting...... During this time, I got married....and also moved into a new home, redecorated and started my own home garden!....  landscaping has always been a side passion. Its great weather in Kenya....all year round Sun... no seasons, great for the annuals... the flowers are blooming ! I have kept some perrenials that are also doing well.... shall share some photos of the garden soon..... So colour adds a burst of energy to a room... a spark of delight or even a calming or energetic feeling depending on which colours.... Getting to Know Taskin : from your assessments...of my artwork my interests... my subject choices.... Which colour do you think I like most?Why? ….. Ill give you some time to answer that! …. Meanwhile ..... In the last year and a half, there has been a lot going on....lets look back!!….. The Almighty is Gre
