Just My ArtWorks

 

When my creative mood starts functioning for more extra added flavour of "expanse."

Then what really happen is I use my Digital painting mode.

The use of pen or just use my computer laptop for digital painting?

Depends on which one is convenient right? For the time being...

Of course my Digital paintings are ORIGINAL.

My Artworks

 I was on the "spot drawing on white bond paper" and somebody asked me if I made it from scratch. Huh?! OMG! Really? I was kind of stunned. 

I almost laughed thinking is she insulting me? She doesn't believe me?

How hard, how difficult to draw? Maybe painting is harder because you have to be meticulous in using "colors." I am not an abstract artist. I sketch or draw using pen or ballpoint black pen. I know, should use pencil but I am not used to using pencil. 

I like to draw, paint or sketch something that just sparks in my brain, in my mind just like suddenly "it happened." Mostly imaginations. 

I like drawing cartoons too, mostly animals, inanimate objects or something that calls for attention on that particular day. 

Here are some of the drawings that keep me busy:

Unfinished drawings, need colors.

Thinking of crayons, water color or just colored pencils.

UPDATES at the 2024 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES

 There are numerous games and sports at the OLYMPIC GAMES and you only have two eyes and vision to wander and wonder around however if you have a television with all the channels for the OLYMPICS viewing... however, there are channels that their focus on few particular games only. They too cannot be on different places at one time. Unless if those Sports news channels have hundreds of staff/cameramen who can manage to angle their cameras on every sports or games in the arena, stadium or at River Seine where the Swimming marathon is happening. 

Darn it. You should have drones!

You have to remember that there are thousands of athletes in different countries participating in this one of a life time Games showcasing the greats. Just the athletes alone for Canada is about 357 plus their coaches and delegation for the Games.

GRAND OPENING CEREMONY of the 2024 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES PARIS, FRANCE

 STUNNING, MAJESTIC, LUXURIOUS, EXTRAVAGANT!!

There is nothing like this so it is one of a kind. RIVER SEINE will be remembered for such a very long, long time for this very remarkable Opening Ceremony of the OLYMPIC GAMES. It's been hundred years so what can you expect...the unexpected.

 A lone French man holding on to the official torch light and entered the podium only to be surprised that the arena was empty, nobody there. Then a man dressed in formal attire approached him and tried to get the torch from him to the man's reluctance, anyway the man in dress suit got hold of the torch then the press and the media were then flashed on the screen and the man  carried the torch outside the arena to the busy streets, while the kids followed him down to the subway. The man carried the torch to the subway train until he passed the torch to the three kids. The kids carried the torch to the  innermost underground, to the sacred burial site of skulls then to the watery shed and a crocodile had appeared and scared them. Finally, a mysterious boater shroud in mystery let the children in to his boat and they rowed to the River Seine. 

 

BOAT PARADE: Participating athletes and their delegation and country of origin were then onboard the  designated boats for the fluvial parade.  

Music keeps on playing on the river bank. World renowned artist LADY GAGA  wearing in black skimpy suit with other dancers holding on to bright pink pompons. The camera showed the President of France making funny faces. More elaborate dancing, multi-colored outfit worn by dancers and performers doing acrobatic sequences. Passion and romance inside the Library. 

The Mystery Man in mystery mask/shroud entered the famous Notre Dame Cathedral showing the construction workers also doing their acrobatic stunts. 

More introduction and fluvial parade of the Olympic athletes, their country of origin, their flags.

Once again music was then interlink with the program when a famous rock band welcome the boat carrying an opera singer (supposedly the Marie Antonette era). 

IMAGINE was once again sung by a French artist/singer.

Then Medieval Period or Futuristic scene? A knight wearing metallic armour riding a horse on River Seine. This is the most magical part of the program ceremony. It was movie-like. The mysterious knight masked in mystery carried the flag of the Olympics. It was his cape, rather the "knight" was wearing the Olympic flag cape. Who do you think symbolizes the knight? Who else?

 

 JOAN OF ARC.

The flag was hand over to the French Republican Guards and then raise up to the podium. The Olympic anthem was sung. Speeches followed. France's Olympic Committee leader had a special speech followed by IOCC Thomas Bach welcomed everybody and his speech include: Pinnacle of their journey SOLIDARITY, UNITY, PEACE, EQUALITY. He thanked the MEDIA, the Dreamers & Dreams. OLYMPIC SPIRIT - LIVE IN PEACE.

PRES. EMMANUEL MACRON of FRANCE welcome everyone and uttered THE GAME OPENS.

OATH TAKING of the IOCC Officers. 

PROGRAM Continues: The Mysterious man hand over or passed the torch to Rafael Nadal (famous tennis player from Spain). Eiffel Tower showcase pulsating spectacular lights. Rafael Nadal carried the torch to the River Seine and board the boat with other veteran Olympiads: Nadia Commanecci, Serena Williams and the French Olympic athlete.

More music and dance. Discotheque theme. Almost non-stop. Then fashion shows showcase latest fashionable outfit  worn by fashion models.

The Olympic torch was then carried by Amelia Moresimo to the Paris streets to the delight and excitement of the huge crowd. The torch was then passed to Tony Parker, while passing through the famous structure PYRAMID OF GLASS. then to the ARCH to the Secret Garden until the torch was finally received by two male and female Olympic athletes and entered the Official cauldron to the hot air balloon.  

 

THE HOT AIR BALLOON is the official TORCH flame that will be lighted for the rest of the SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES. Wow! Magnificent!!

More surprises! CELINE DION on Eiffel Tower gave her greatest performance as if the last, hitting higher notes with more power and grace. BRAVO CELINE! You made Canadians proud and strong. Thank you! You are such an amazing, talented, versatile artist.

The Paris Olympic venue lighted up as if its the close  encounter of the third kind. 

The Hot AIR BALLOON in warmth bright  yellow color  suspended in mid-air above the cauldron...reminds me of JULES VERNE's AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS.

 WELL, THIS IS THE LONGEST & LAVISHLY EXPENSIVE OPENING CEREMONY EVER!

Pros & Cons

 Some critic asked you rather suggested to have a Diary to record the story of your life. Right on!! That's what BLOGGER is all about. What are you thinking?

The reason why BLOGGER was created is for you to have a journal of your life in this website. It is what it is. Think about not spending on buying hundreds of ballpens and hundreds of notebooks or journals. You are saving the forest from being bald or denuded. We need the forest and vegetation as the source of the planet's oxygen while they absorb the carbon dioxide. Without those "greens" then what's left Earthlings have to inhale but toxic fumes.

The question of whether we are really saving the billions of trees in the forest? After the forest were consumed by several wildfires? What's left are raw materials for charcoal and ink. Could the ashes left on the ground good for the Earth? 

After volcanic eruptions in other countries, did you know that the land became richly endowed and great for agrarian or agriculture. The soil becomes so rich and healthy that production of any kind of crops are possible. 

There is always positive idea coming out in negativity.
