original paintings

new addition to the series inspired by Calder’s mobile sculptures 🙌 (watercolor, gouache and 24k gold on handmade watercolor paper). this one is # 4, the previous three have already found their new homes. If I’ll tell you that every element, its shape and position aren’t random and make sense to me, would I sound too crazy? 😅 . . . . . #paintingart #paintingdaily #watercolorartwork #owlart #owlsofinstagram #owlpainting #makingart #doitfortheprocess #tempuradesign #danielsmithwatercolor #gouachepainting
I remember an oil study of a ship sailing thought the waters of unknown sea my mom did when I was little, or even before I was born I think. She’s never fully finished it, but I remember having it around the house where I grew up. Somehow it grew into me, became a part of me. So when I was visiting Ukraine last year, I asked my mom if I could take it with me. She said - please finish it, there is still work to be done on the waves and ship itself. I looked at her and replied - it’s perfect as it is and I’d never add or take anything away. I carefully varnished it as soon as I got back home. Every time I look at it, it feels like home, it tremendously inspires me, lifts me up when I feel homesick. Because the the first ever memories of me painting are connected to seeing my mom doing it, or teaching me how to use oils and other mediums. I also took home a folder with my older drawings and paintings, one of them you can see behind my vintage book stash - black and white self portrait which I also never fully finished. Maybe one day I’ll get to do it.. who knows?) . . . . . #evedevore #memories #artstudio #artistslife #makingart #makingartdaily #artiststudio #artistinstudio #artists_insta
quick scribbles in a small sketchbook I carry around everywhere. ☕️ I think Pilot Kakuno fountain pen is one of my favorite sketching tools at the moment. I’ve been using it for couple years now and even though I own multiple others pens, Kakuno is still the one I reach for most of the time. ✒️ 📖 . . . . . #pilotkakuno #pilotpen #sketchingtime #sketchbook #sketchbookpage
I’m a big fan of Frida as you probably know and I’ve been waiting to see her exhibit at Brooklyn Museum since last fall, when we purchased the tickets. But I left with the mixed feelings. I would not say I didn’t enjoy it. I did, especially seeing such personal details of her life as corsets, clothing and photographs. Also seeing her paintings up close and their true colors. I guess I just expected more... Also the lighting.. it was extremely dim that I regret I didn’t have a flashlight with me ✨🔦 . . . . . #evedevore #fridakahlo #brooklynmuseum #brooklynmuseumofart #fridainspired #fridainspiration
