Morning Bath

It has been a busy week but thank God I was able to manage and finish the big painting that I was commissioned to do. This is a different one than the ones I did for myart auctions. This painting portrayed the interest of the person who commissioned me. She was inspired to asked me to do this painting because she loves her life where she grew up and reminded her of the beautiful memories of her past especially where they used to live in a place with refreshing landscapes with mountains, colorful flowers and golden rice fields. I took what my client loves and put it in canvas with my creativity and my own composition. This art piece showed also what I love to do and believe, "There is a relationship of love in all created things". This painting is displayed in her beautiful house in Piscataway, New Jersey, USA. The title of this painting is "Morning Bath", original art oil painting, size 36width x 48height, 2thick, inches stretched canvas. Thanks for reading my blog.

Exchange Of Love

I have been busy for a couple of weeks finishing my big commission painting. Finally it is done! I just delivered it this afternoon to the house of this art lover. She was so happy to see it and hung it right away in the middle of her living room. I can't wait to share an image of this art piece with you. Soon I will show it here in my blog. Because of this I have not listed my art in auction for a while. Aside from my commission, I am working on some new prints that I will be listing soon in my Ebay store. Actually I just listed a few today. One is a lavender phalinopsis and the other one is a fantasy floral art with hummingbird. I will be listing some more prints soon especially my cat prints.

This print is one of my favorites and has a very affordable price of $55.00. I will be offering discounts in my Ebay store soon. So keep on visiting my store. I titled this Exchange Of Love. This was inspired from the beautiful country of Costa Rica. The place where I live has a beautiful tropical garden with hummingbirds visiting me occasionally while I paint. Everyone of us want to receive love and eventually give this love back to the giver. In this reciprocal exchange of love alone can satisfy us perfectly. "If we Love we will in return receive Love".

Butterfly & Rose, "Rejoice"

This oil painting was in auction few weeks ago and a lucky collector
from Michigan was the winner. I am fun of butterflies because it is
symbolic to our spiritual side. If we see a flower whatever it is, it
gives us a sense of joy and when a butterfly touches it, it doubles the
joy we felt. Don't you know that the "joy" we felt was God's joy. His own
happiness that wanted to follow us and embrace us. He wanted to share
it with us because He loves us. If we are attentive, we will discover
God in all of His creation. So be happy and rejoice!

This flower with a butterfly painting is a popular piece of my painting
collection. With its popular demand, I will create a few more of this
subject and auction them in the next couple of weeks. I am also planning
to create quality prints of this particular piece. So stay tuned and
keep on visiting my art auction to get updates.

I am almost done with the painting that I was commissioned to do.
Hopefully in the next couple of days I will be showing you a photo of it here in
my blog. This piece has a huge size 36x48 inches. I rarely do big sizes but a lot
of my collectors are requesting me to create original oil paintings with
bigger sizes like 16x20 or bigger in triptych and diptych. Their dreams will come
true soon! I am planning to create these big sizes and will be updating you
on its listing dates in the next month or so. Thank you for reading my blog.
I hope that you enjoyed my creations and you were inspired by them. Until my next blog. Have a great weekend!

Working On Commissions

It's been a long time since I posted here. Actually I am eager to tell you what I have been doing lately. You probably have noticed that I list my art auctions less and less. I really do not want this to happen because I want to maintain a consistency of my listings. One of the reason is I am working on a huge painting commission, size 36x48 inches in oil on stretched canvas.I am almost finish and a few elements to be painted on. I am working on a composition of figures on a landscape painting. When I get a chance I will show it to you here in my blog. I can't wait to finish it and start my art auctions again. Actaully in between I painted one Butterfly oil painting which I will list this Sunday. Okey so much for today. Back to work in my easle. See you soon in my next post.

My Valentine Red Rose

Valentine's Day is the day of the hearts. It is widely celebrated
expressing each others love. I have been waiting for this day to paint
something that I would like to express to everyone what I meant about
this meaningful day. Above is the new original oil painting I just
created which expressed what I meant about LOVE.

The truth is we can not see the love hidden in each flower but we
can see it if we desire to act this love. In each flower, there is a
voice that wants to be heard. The words of the "I Love You". The flower
finds us to let her sweet scent be smelled and be delighted. It grows in
the garden to be noticed, adored and enjoyed. She needs the voice of our
hearts so that she will no longer be mute but can speak the "I Love You"
that she's been waiting to receive from us. The truth is the source of
its life is no other than our Divine Creator who is also the source of
love. Let us be the voice of LOVE.....to give LOVE and to be LOVED.

A lot of my clients were asking me before if I have a red rose with
figures same as the Blue Rose painting with figures that I did before
which you actually find in my Ebay store. Their dreams came true! I realy
meant to do one that is red and it is very timely when
a client of mine called me few weeks ago to commission me to do one.

I was commissoned to create this original oil painting as a Valentine's
gift for his wife. The size of this painting is 16"x20" on stretched
canvas with a title
"Fruit Of Love". This original art has a new home together with his other
art collections in Queens, New York. Quality prints of this painting
will be availbale soon at my Ebay store. If you want to receive updates
of the up coming prints please let me know by sending me a message thru
my website. Happy Valentine's Day!

Butterfly Reveals Victory

I was inspired by the beauty of butterflies. They make me happy
and bring peace in my heart. They remind me of the freedom and peace
that our creator gave us. They also remind me of the victory and breaking
of the bondage of slavery in passion. I want to show all of these in canvas
and preserve the meaning that these butterflies reveal. The name of this
painting is "Victory".

A lucky winner won this in an auction at Ebay few days ago. Just to inform you,

Divine Mirror

I was trying to think of an idea to paint when suddenly a landscape with a clear lake came to my mind. I was reminded of how when our hearts are not in peace will symbolize in a river that has a lot of waves. A mountain in the horizon will not be able to reflect its image on the lake, however if we are in peace, it is symbolized in a mountain that its image is reflected on a calm, clear, crystal lake like a mirror.

I immediately prepared a canvas to paint this idea and I titled this "Divine Mirror". The image of God is reflected like a mirror in our hearts in times of peace.
Ponder on this and will invite us to be at peace. This original art oil painting, which is currently on sale, can be purchased at my Ebay store by clicking at the title above or go to Ebay "art" category and find my ID: paintingsjude. Thank you for reading my art blog.

My New Year Art Auctions

It was great to have time again to blog! I was so busy for the past few weeks enjoying the holidays with my family here in New Jersey, USA. I came back to my studio in New Jersey from my Costa Rica art scene. This new year is a miracle from God where I was inspired to bring back to Him what He had given me. I asked myself in what way? My answer is, I will express what He had given me in the form of a painting. Every brush stroke I will render is my "I Love You" to my creator.

I also reviewed what I had done in the past year in terms of my career as an artist. This year I will be more aware in promoting and selling my artwork to the people who will love my paintings. As you know that most often I auction my paintings to the best low price so the public will have a chance to purchase my paintings in a very affordable price. I am currently working on some new and fresh subject matters for my paintings this new year. I just started listing some new ones which you can find in my Ebay store. I invite you to join in the bidding and wish that you will win. All of these original oil paintings have very low starting price of $39.00 with a value of about $350.00 each.

Love Is Patient

It was a busy week for me especially at this Holiday Season. The art show I had at Starbucks was a success! I meet a lot of people and got new prospects and a big sale. I am demonstrating my art style and my philosphy behind by painting as I do it there live. I paint what I believe that, "there is a relationship of love in all created things". I am going to have another one art show this Sunday Dec. 18, 11 am to 2 pm at Starbucks, Cedar Grove Lane, Somerset New Jersey. Hope to see you there.

All things created came from the heartbeat of love and thru this a Red Hibiscus came into being. Every petals of this hibiscus speaks of love and patiently revealing its beauty to the eye of the beholder. I call this piece "Love Is Patient". This was sold in my Ebay art auctions. You may click the title above and view my current art auctions.

I wish you all the best this Holiday Season!

My Red Rooster Painting

I have been preparing for my trip back to New Jersey that is why I have'nt been blogging for a couple of days. Finally I am back to New Jersey after a couple of months in Costa Rica creatively inspired by the tropical beauty of nature. I have brought with me a couple of paintings which are currently in auction at Ebay. I am happy to be invited to have a small art show in Starbucks store at Somerset, New Jersey for two Sundays from 11 am to 2 pm. I will be painting live and demonstrate my philosophy in canvas "there is a relationship of love in all created things".

Today I would like to share with you the beauty that I have captured painting a red rooster. We always see a rooster with an image of strong, robust and serious look. In this painting I created him to be friendly and playful. The interesting aspect here is that he is playing not with his fellow chickens but with some butterflies. I want to tell everyone in my painting that love extends not only in men but also in nature. I named this painting "Friendly". This was already in auction and a lucky collector won this piece. I will be creating a new rooster art soon. Keep on checking my auction in Ebay (ID: paintingsjude).

Union Of Hearts

For the past few days I have been busy preparing my reproduction giclee prints
to be delivered in Si Como No, Regalame, an art gallery here in Quepos, Costa Rice. I was thinking about some painting ideas and a thought came to me. How can I put into canvas an image of "union of wills"? When we joined our hearts together with our creator we fused our hearts with Him as one. This only happens when we dispose our hearts to be selfless and desire to posess the heart of the divine being thus we become one in Him. This is called "union of wills.

I thought about a daisy painted in two stretched canvases. I created it in such
a way that the part of the canvas is the part of the other. This painting perfectly simbolized my thought. This is currently in auction with a very low price but with
a great value. To see this just click the title above. Thank you for viewing
my blog. Have a great day!

River Of Life

It is a hectic and busy day for me today. I almost forgot to blog my new painting. Well anyway this painting will make me feel refresh and I know this will make you feel the same. This is one of my favorite piece which I called "River Of Life". This is done in oil on wood panel in a surrealistic style, size 16x20 inches. I came to Costa Rica and visited for a couple of months to start my fine art painting series. As I was traveling and went to a rain forest, I saw a couple of big silvery blue butterflies flying around a dense thick forest moving towards a couple of great cascading waterfalls. They flew back and forth as if they were kissing the forest and waterfalls saying to them, "I Love You". It was an amazing experience! As I watched them they seemed to portray what I wanted to paint perfectly expressing my own philosophy. I felt in my heart that this whole scene will bring joy, peace and sense of life to everyone who will see this, so I wanted to capture what I felt and experience and put it in canvas for everyone to see. Now it is finished and I am happy to show this to the world. This original art oil painting is currently for sale in my Ebay Store. You may click the title above to read more details. I am also planning to sell some prints of this in the future. Thanks for reading my blog. Hope you enjoyed this painting.

I Call This Painting "Grace Filled"

I have been painting and painting that I missed to blog for a few days. I should be doing this everyday but sometimes I am caught up with my creative world. Today I am happy to share with you my new work. This is done in oil on canvas panel and not a print but an original art. Purple for me is a symbol of our belief of love. Once we believe this virtue we are giving an opportunity for grace to act. This is where the life giving love comes in. This flower is very symbolic for me to be reminded of grace. I love the color of purple and in this flower I had a chance to paint something purple. It is very rare to find a purple cala lily and I am happy to get it and paint it. I just auctioned this and one lucky guy won. You may view my latest auctions by clicking on the title above. Thanks for giving time to read my blog.

"True Love" Oil Painting

This precious Red Poppy painting is an inspiration for me. Flowers really evoke such radiance of beauty like in this flower. It symbolizes the highest gift which is LOVE. With its color as radiant red, it shows the power of blood that gives life which came from the roots of love. I gave this a title, "TRUE LOVE". Love never fails. It is kind. It does not envy. It is not proud.

This painting was purchase by someone who was lucky to win it in an Ebay art auction. You may view the details of this by clicking the link in the title above. Then find it under completed listings. I have another painting that I just listed which I titled, "Love Is Patient". It is a beautiful red hibiscus. I enjoyed painting it! I will talk about this more in detail with photo in my next blogging session. Have a great day! Thanks for reading my blog.

Painter Of Love Created "Love Me"

The need of the flower to multiply is realized thru the help of the butterfly.....this is LOVE! The need of the butterfly to be nourished is thru the nectar that the flower carries.....this is LOVE. As the butterfly kisses the flower he is saying, "I LOVE YOU". As the flower touches the butterfly she is saying, "I LOVE YOU". In all the things that are created by God there is a relationship of LOVE which shows the nature of God Himself. This original oil painting was won thru an art auction by a collector. To view a similar painting just click the title link above. Thank you for reading my blog. Have a great day!

"Hug Me" Tuxedo Cat Painting

I always love cats! I think they are great creatures that make us happy when we are lonely, peaceful when we are stress and loving when we feel unlove. They are the extensions of the love above. Please click the title above to view it in auction. Thanks for reading my blog!

Painter Of Love Paints "My Beloved"

This shows very much what I want to use as its title. Visually it looks like a heart with a blazing red color. Amazingly it really symbolize what I want it to show. Hidden behind this red cala lily is the mover of our universe and the source of all love. I called this "My Beloved". To view my on going auction of this piece please click the title above.

Reflections Of Joy

How happy it is to see and observe the flower blooming, the bird flying, the stars shining, the brilliance of the sun and so on. I was enjoying the thoughts of these and thought that this is my perfect next oil painting to do. All of these are mirrors of happiness where we can cherish. We have to be centered in the one above to be able to experience true joy. This is kind of difficult to visualize so I choose the subject matter abstract. This way it will translate better what I mean. I titled this, "Reflections Of Joy". This is currently in auction and you can view this by clicking on the title above. Thanks for reading my blog!

Twin Hearts

This is my recent work inspired by these two red poppy flowers. As the flower blooms from the nourishing heat of the sun likewise our hearts are filled by the peace and love from the creator above. The one that gives life to this two flowers is also the one that blesses us with life which I symbolized in my painting. I called this "Twin Hearts". This is currently in auction. Check it out by clicking the title above. Thanks!

Green Eye Black Cat

I was thinking of something to paint and a black cat came to play in front of the patio. Guess what? She is not really playing but watching the hummingbirds to get near her. This is a great idea for my new painting! I made her presentable by painting a red flower in her head. In this painting she looks like getting ready for a photo session like in a commercial modeling. This cat painting was purchased already by a art collector thru an art auction. But do not be despair! Currently, I just listed a new one. Please check it out by clicking the title above to view my art auction. Thanks for reading my blog.
