Winter afternoon at the lake. Tarde de invierno en el lago

 

The wonderful bright colors of the late Winter afternoon at the local lake. It had been raining the whole night and morning, then the sun was shining and the cold wind helped to achieve these textures.

Los colores maravillosos, brillantes, de una tarde de invierno en el lago local. Había estado lloviendo toda la noche y durante la mañana, luego el sol estuvo brillando y el viento frío colaboró para lograr estas texturas.

Rooster. Gallo.

One of my acrylics on canvas, small size. It has modeling past as medium to improve textures and thickness. The model is here

I love this model, I think this rooster has personality!

Old Locomotive. Locomotora antigua

 A model of a train, an old one from New York. this is a close up of the locomotive, it's inside an acrylic box next to a window. The dust on the box and the lighting gives it a sort of Surrealist effect.

Nicobar pigeon. Paloma Nicobar

This acrylic was done inspired by Ivan Lesica's photo of a Nicobar pigeon. 

He has wonderful gallery and his pictures of pigeons are amazing.

Spiral. Espiral

I meant to paint acrylic on canvas with a knife, but it didn't result good. Lack of inspiration.... I scratched it, tried another one and didn't like it either. I was so upset that I began to pour the acrylics from the bottles directly on the canvas, with the background, and then put the canvas vertical, then rotated it a couple of times. 

I took a lot of pictures of details and then I scratched it all over, leaving a dark background for another painting. My family said I shouldn't have done this...

Trío de árboles. Tree trio

Acrylic on canvas that I´ve painted this weekend. I decided to practice Pointillism. 12"x12"

The Light Blue Butterfly. Acrylic on canvas. 12"x12"

 There's a cultural space about the jungle and rain forest for kids at the Santa Ana Zoo, California. In one of these rooms, there are glass tanks under very low light, with small simulations of the habitat inside. 

Red rose abstractions. Abstracciones de rosa roja

 

I made this pictures with a tiny Aluminum bag that had tea inside, just before trashing it. I thought it twice, why not taking a few shots and see if I could achieve interesting shapes, reflections and colors? 

I prepared a whole series and I'm not done yet, I am having a lot of fun with this bag. 

These ones have been taken with my cell phone, which has a red cover.

Dry leaf. Hoja seca

Óleo pastel. Oil pastels.

Crab Cangrejo

Mi first oil pastel, a crab under water. Mi primer óleo pastel, un cangrejo bajo el agua.

Still learning.... Aún aprendiendo..

Pájaro en aparente simetría. Bird in apparent symmetry

A bird in apparent symmetry, or a ram? Maybe it´s an owl. Actually, it´s a fractal.

Non figurative colorful shots

 

I have got these shots using a Christmas plastic green bowl with some curls relief, inside it I put decorative feathers bought at the last year Gay Pride parade, so the feathers have the rainbow colors.

All pictures are in 80% high contrast.

Ellipses. Elipses

 

 One of my abstracts acrylics as seen through a new glass vase I have. The original painting has some colorful ellipses in a blueish background, I managed to leave one of them in focus. At least this acrylic was not trashed but "recreated".

Ruined dry leaves. Hojas secas y arruinadas

 

My plant of kale has been attacked by worms. I think it still has a beautiful pattern

 

A leaf of my kale, above a marine shell

 

A very interesting leaf that I´ve found, it has the texture of velvet. I suppose it´s a succulent.

 

The upper pictures are from my kale´s leaf

 

A ruined dry leaf full of duck excrements, that I´ve found at the park. I´m interested on the morphology, the shadows and textures
