My work schedule has been quite tight and it was difficult to get out and paint in spite of invitations from some like minded friends. Picked up a picture of these Maple leaves from the net. Managed to squeeze in some painting time in between the hectic schedule and the result is in front of you. I have realized that painting acts as a stress buster when I am under pressure. I am wondering.... 'are there positive sides to stress' ? Can some one help ?
Beautifully captured! I love how you've managed the shadows in the water. So realistic. Bravo! There is no positive side to stress, but recognizing it and taking steps to minimize it will in turn create a more balanced and healthy body. Art therapy is a wonderful choice, as is meditation, tai chi and other physical activity that makes you feel good. And don't forget to breathe :).
ReplyDeleteStay inspired!

just mentioned obove. take care to for better
time management.think abaout what could be importantjust in this moment.
Asit, I am so glad you had some time to create this lovely painting. As for the stress, like everything, some is good and necessary for growth; too much becomes deleterious to the system. I agree with Michelle; meditation and physical activity do help. I do hope your schedule eases up soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful work Asit.I think that with small amounts of stress, we push ourselves to do our best.But if we dont control stress, it does take over us so much that we have to pay heavy price for the deterioration of our body and mind.
ReplyDeleteMaravilloso, me encanta la paleta de colores, enhorabuena, saludos.
ReplyDeletePainting can be a wonderful stress buster - it takes you mind off the other things and sometimes can be like a meditation with color :) I think the only positive to stress is that you may get more done - until you make yourself sick from the busyness and stress. So do find time to destress at least a little bit each day. This is a beautiful painting - love how you've played the warms and cools to give us a wonderful focal point.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful, AK. Wonderful job....I was recently in the hospital with A-Fib...when I got home (one day later) I started to paint and a sense of calmness came over me...yes, I truly believe that Art is wonderful for calming one down and the best medicine around!!
ReplyDeleteIt is funny you 'de-stress ' when you paint...when I am stressed I can't paint :-) But the result of your de-stressing is wonderful, love the different colors of the leaves.
ReplyDeleteDein Bild wirkt sehr lebendig und Energie geladen trotz den sanften Farben. Mir gefällt wenn Du gestresst malst *ggg*
ReplyDeleteCiao ak,
ReplyDeletesempre più belli i tuoi dipinti! These subjects flowers and leaves are beatiful in your work for the colours and mouvement!
Ciao, ciao, Floriana
Une très jolie peinture... J'aime toutes les nuances de couleurs de ces magnifiques feuilles d'érable qui ont une forme découpée assez caractéristique. Une très belle capture.
ReplyDeleteLa peinture est une excellente thérapie effectivement... En ce qui me concerne elle l'a été fortement à une période très difficile pour moi et maintenant elle est mon amie journalière...
Gros bisous
A nice play on negative shapes here Asit.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if painting really is a stress-buster, as when I was painting the other day, I found myself concentrating so hard that it gave me neck ache!
Excelente trabajo, delicado y con un colorido muy armonioso saludos.
ReplyDeletebeautiful painting ak .
ReplyDeleteWow. Asit! What a stunner!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this and it makes me feel calm looking at it :)
Stress will get you up and moving and accepting new challenges, even in painting :)
Moderation is everything, the overload is what's bad.

It has come out very nice Asit.Painting is really a stress relieving exercise :)
ReplyDeleteI think if you were under stress painting this, you somehow found a good outlet! This is wonderful, and very ordered and calm! Nice work! Thanks for your recent comments to me, I really appreciate it...
ReplyDeletehope your work lets up a little!
How lovely and how gentle. The changing and fading leaves that go softly into Wintertime.
ReplyDeleteYou have done this season justice.
And I hope that youe stress levels keep you painting.
Gorgeous! Paint more! I love your watercolors.
ReplyDeletebeautiful negative painting and wonderful light and colors!
ReplyDeleteFor me yoga, exercise and painting are stress busters but if I can't squeeze time for those -that itself brings on stress :(
grt control on colors,smooth flow from dark to light
ReplyDeleteMuy bonitas las hojas!
