They lived their lives

In little white compartments

Too afraid to explore beyond their walls

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!

I love this painting.👌👌👌👌Congrats great post.👌👌👌👌

Coot little tings!!!

@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.
