Free Within - Acrylic Media on Canvas
There lived a soul,
in mauves and blues
Forever questioned -
Why not bright hues?
Here they are
in glory and sheen,
some colors of colors
that slept within.
What met your eye
was a body true.
beyond it
there are dreams,
…there are depths
unfathomable
unseen.
Free Within
Acrylic Media on Canvas (with varnished finish)
18 x 24
This painting is an expression of abstract observation but has a form to it. It was not madness – like my many other works. This acrylic painting was planned and composed to be what it is. The colors happened by themselves for they never need to be planned, but the crevices were pre-destined; pre-historic.
Closer look at the art work
Geologic abstracts have a charm of their own. No rock, mineral, or landscape can be ever alike. There can never be a composition repeated in nature. Like DNA, its amazingly different form one another – but yet so connected and related.
Be it mountains, trees, rocks or smoothened river pebbles, each one by themself make their identity known. But they all are so different and unique. There is romance in sole and whole. Soli Deo Gloria.
I guess the yellow had to make itself come through in the most unlikeliest of places. But that is also what lies within that remains unseen.
Each section of this painting, when zoomed, looks like a painting by itself because of its details. My fasicnation for these kind of paintings and deep-rooted art is going to stay this way so you can expect to see more abstracts here.
The techique for painting this kind of composition (in either oils or acryic) is shared in my tutorial on creating geologic abstracts.
I cherish this one. I look at it and wonder how deep those crevices would go in the real rocks. And wonder how deep things really are. That there are no ordinary moments or things. That what we now see is yet to be seen.
Thank you!

This is really beautiful.
Stunning work…worthy of a solo exhibition….please have soon.
Did you read about the Zuni drawings I mentioned last time..of the Zuni tribes of New Mexico…do look into that…I am sure you will draw inspiration!
Love,
Mystic
Thank you Mystic. Co-incidence! I have been asked by an art dealer to consider having an exhibition in near future. Lets see how the thought goes.
Can you share the Zuni links? I would love to see them.

Good luck with the art info….I will await news on that and perhaps good news about your exhibition and pics to go with it!
Also….do look into some major auction houses…they launch you into the Art World…you never know.
Christies and Sotheby’s…check it out.
Wishes,

Beautiful… so many colours merging, contrasting and complimenting each other.
Thanks Mystic, for the links. I will see the Zuni works now.
C&Ss – LOL, dont go overboard

Dear Ish, always so creative – what strokes and the writing too. Enjoyed myself for these few minutes I was here. Also wanted to tell you that one pic from your photos is in the latest writeup on our blog. Thanks for that – we use those photos so often and always remember you.
Pratibha: Im so glad to hear that you are using the photos so lovingly. It gives me a great high to see love in work. For me, Pedatha is not a memory but now a part of life. Thanks for giving me the opportunity. Good luck to you both. I hope to see you around often for blogs are indeed keeping us in touch
It’s posts like this that keep me coming back and checking this site regularly, thanks for the info!
That is very original and so creative art work. I’m sure it will inspire many people of your arts.
Peter: Thank you so much for being here. You are such a gifted artist that I am honored to have you here. I love most of your blue paintings. Im inspired too
Hi Ishrath,
I never used to like abstracts before, but now I believe as you go abstract the beauty gets increased and meaning as well.
You paintings are superb.
I wish I also could paint so perfectly with the help of your tutorials.

This period was marked by a turning away from realism to primitivism, Symbolism, and abstract painting.
