without any doubt dear friend @opheliafu you poee a great gift, being able to express with your hand your thinking is extraordinary. Congratulations for this beautiful works, I really liked the color selected.
Thank you very much for this beautiful gift.
Have a beautiful day.
Thank you @jlufer- I'm exploring this colour palette over my next few pieces, so hopefully you like the next ones I share with you too.
I love this painting!!! And more with the little text that anticipates it. Congrats!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you very much!
I like this wite compartments. I like your words too, even if I'm a bit a claustrophobic and thinking that "They lived their lives In little white compartments" make me feel strange ;)
I think my own claustrophobia fuels the ideas behind these white boxes.
Sometimes it happens to me too. Months ago I painted one of my "rounded head" person with his head in the cage, just when I finished I understood that my anxiety was the fuel of that painting. Now, when I watched it (it's a canvas) I think that it was cathartic for me ;)
great post.
nice
i vote follow you
super nice paintings ! for all the fridges in this world :)
I love the midcentury feel to this piece of artwork 💕
I was thinking futuristic dystopia but you are right there is a real 50's quality to those lines. Not surprising with my love of all things 50's.
Aww the Atomic Era's palette of mints and whites! I am in the process of having my garage converted into a tiki/atomic bar (Palm Springs style not corny frat party lol) for my son. I promise to share it with you.
That sounds amazing!
FANTASTIQUE! I love line, minimalist art, and your page!
Excellent!

@opheliafu Excellent... Motivating and it will make me joyful to check out effort and resolve prevail. Adore it..
Thank you very much!
looking so nice..
the colors looks so vivid :)
The watercolours have a nice inkiness to them.
amazing subject! I feel it very close to me :)
I like exploring this subject, the confines of the spaces we create for ourselves- physical and mental.
"The story of our lives"!
Sometimes, a little white "compartiment" gives us a warm safety feeling but a sum of this kind of moments gives the impression of limiting the possibilities and compressing the self.
It's that a matter of space or a challenge to overcome mind limitations of labeling everything?
Another approach, great result!
Yes! So many different angles to view this from.
Hi @opheliafu Beautiful, once again :) I love the level of detail you can get in your paintings. The edging of the white is beautiful up close and equally at a distance. Love it !
I left you a quiet little something under a fern a few days back ;)
Cheers,
Bucky
Thank you very much! I used a couple of different techniques to get the qualities of the white lines.
At first I thought they were iPhones.
Then I thought they were refrigerators.
But now I think they're portals.
Nice @opheliafu
Some great ideas there- especially with the new iphone launch :D
Haha indeed.
Explore the deepest of depths of your soul. Take a deep breath in and let go of all.
