Spending My Silence By Painting And Drawing Randomly

There would be critical moments and bad days, and it would stress me out at some point. Homesickness won't help either, let us say, 11,226 miles away from home. Regaining my calmness and peace of mind, I spend time being alone. Me and my own thoughts.

From being a simple homework to pastime, from pastime to an outlet and channel of expression.

I use different mediums like oil pastel, watercolor, poster color, oil paint, acrylic paint, color pencil, charcoal, color pen. Sometimes, I just grab what's in store and splat it on the canvass. Odd stuff like coffee, creamer, egg shells, glitters, annatto, leaves in various shapes, etc.

Every artwork depicts emotions, experiences, stories dreams and random events.

I am Lani, and this is my outlet, painting and drawing. Simply me.

"Be Still"

John 16:16,22
16 “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” 22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

~Holding on to You Oh Lord!

"Back"

'Here now
All I know is I know that You are
Here now

Cause I know You're in this place'

"May Dream"

Romans 5:3-5 “ Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”
