Serpentine Swans 2010 (Watercolour)

There’s a double beauty whenever a swan swims on a lake with her double thereon.

Peace and salaams to all.

The above painting is one I painted from a photo that I took of the swans at Hyde Park on Serpentine Lake.

Painted on paper with watercolours.

Till the next time,

Another Sunset

Filed under: Art — Awakening Art @ 11:33 pm

Oil on Canvas

Peace and salaam to all,

I pray you are all keeping well Insha-Allah.

I came across this quote this morning by Mahatma Gandhi and had to share it together with another sunset painting I painted a few weeks ago, a miniture one this time.

The quote went as follows:

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.
Mohandas Gandhi

I pray your Jumuah went well and that God accepts all our worship Insha-Allah.

Till the next time,

Peace and salaams,

Umm Aisha.

God’s Creation.

Filed under: Art — Awakening Art @ 11:35 pm

Glorify
2005
Frame Size 30 x 40cm
Watercolour
Arabic in top right translates: “And glorify Him morning & evening.”

Peace and salaams to all.

I recently read this quote;

Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

It automatically made me think of the verse in Surah Ar-Rahmaan, “Which of God’s favours will you deny!”

The world is the biggest piece of art around us and God is the Artist of all Artists! Alhamdulillah!

Everything He has created is beautiful, every mountain, every sunset, every beautiful baby’s face, which of His favours can we deny?

I have posted this sunset once before many years ago but decided to share once more.

Peace and salaams to all

Till the next time

Umm Aisha
