series explained : water peacocks

beyond love and trust, i thrive on order, balance, and beauty. harmony is very important to me.
problem solving brings me calmness.

i think emotionally and visually. my ideas are not so easy for me to verbalize. sometimes i fnd myself drawn to something. i won't know why, but i will allow myself to explore the item or idea until i reach an understanding. i don't fight the magnetic draw in my art.

the "water peacock" series all started with my obsession of these two elements.

my nature is to simplify things. i began drawing the feathers and they morphed into a very simple shape; namely the "eye."



simultaneously i started to watch the flow of fish and people. i saw similarities.

the "flow" of fish. the "traffic" of people. this idea of finding paths came naturally in my sketches.
i painted one, then two, then three... i couldn't stop.
when i stood back i realized my inspiration. it made sense to me. i myself was trying to find my own path.
i was looking outward to others to study and find solutions. all persons must find their paths.

i find it very odd that it's easier to explain this series here, than face to face. i get lots of sideways glances in person. perhaps it's easier for me to explain with images since that's how my mind processes.

here are a few of my paintings from the "water peacock" series:
