Fearless

Fearless, 8 by 10 inches oil on canvas board
From my trip to Hawaii.While watching this guy surf, I felt that fearlessness means more focus and more balance. This probably applies to all walks of life I guess!

  1. Very true.Fearlessness stems from competence and confidence too..The darkness of the sea accentuates the fearlessness

  3. Love all the colors you've captured in the water, Padmaja! I've never tried surfing; wonder if it is as difficult as it looks?!

  4. This is fabulous. The waves and the clouds in the distance add drama to the overall effect. Great job.

  8. Like that strong blue in the sea.
    Agree with you about being fearless.

  9. What terrific movement you captured. I can understand what you mean about being fearless. I could never take on a big wave. The littles ones were thrill enough for me. Same in life. Extremes in anything make me uncomfortable.

  12. For some reason I got a gray oval with a line in it...no painting. Disappointed.
    Will try back.

  14. You also painted this so spiritually, Padmaja. That cloud bank in the background actually gives this painting some life and movement. I think it might be the stillness of the cloud bank contrasted with the movement in the wave and all the different strokes and colors you used to create it. I like that about balance!

  15. I love the surfer in the middle of all this activity. Sun, sky, water, surf! I feel like I would enjoy watching him surf fearlessly. I am not fearless. I wouldn't be surfing. :)
