Description 'Sometimes in my travels, whenever i felt like i can't keep going and just stop there, tired. I always picture a place, a simple building located next to a pond where i would sit and drink some warm cup of tea. Feeding the fishes that resides in the pond. Seeing the bamboo tree blown by the wind gently, it's leaves falling down and float onto the water. the drips and drops from the bamboo pipe. This place is my happy place. In here, i can just stop thinking and for once, breathe. After a good while, my trip to the happy place ended, i get up and continue walking to my destination.'

Hey there!
I hope you enjoy the painting, it took awhile for me to get it right because it is a bit complicated, the story in this piece actually have a lot of reality subtext from me, dealing with college and emotional problems by constantly being isolated. I always picture a place where i can finally breathe from all the pressure of the real world. It's an inspiration for this painting, i'm sure each and one of us have that kind of experience in life. Well anyways, i might do some warm painting for the next one.
If you like this piece feel free to share it with your friends, if you want to keep posted on my upcoming painting you can give a watch. i appreciate that a lot
Thank you and have a nice day

Both this picture and your words are touching!  Everyone need to stay alone sometimes to relieve. "Everyday the sun is new ."

This is going to be strangely specific, and it's not the only thing I like about it, but I like how you used the lighting off the clothes to provide a color contrast against the background.

TomTC In reply to MagentaYellow [2018-09-24 12:49:41 +0000 UTC]

I wouldn't call it fighting, but more like trying to comfort someone when they're in a harsh time with it's warmth

MagentaYellow In reply to TomTC [2018-09-24 17:33:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you're right, I used a wrong word, it's really more like acceptance of both elements, light and darkness

Wow, this is beautiful...! (As beautiful as always, really, haha.) It looks different than your other ones--more refined--perhaps because of the environmental shapes, if that makes sense. I get what you mean when it comes to having a happy place. Seeing you draw yours is inspiring~ I love hearing about others' happy places! I have a happy place too, and although it's a bit different from yours, it also consists of soothing water and nature! And if you're still dealing with the problems you've listed in your description, I hope things ease up for you soon. It's so great that you can turn these things into positive painting.

TomTC In reply to Estherella [2018-09-23 12:59:32 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much for the kind words! Everyone deserves and needs a happy place to retreat to once in awhile when things gets a little bit too difficult. It's not a place to stay permanently, but a place where one can ease up and stop thinking a little bit. I think having that kind of place is good, i've been wanting to draw my happy place where i can escape to. But seeing that i can't actually do that, i just paint it
