Slowly getting into a perfect rhythm. Only wish I could post more often. I will get there somehow and someday. 

So much has been happening and I don’t know where to start. More of my paintings were featured in several Etsy treasuries by some wonderful artists on Etsy. Still looking to make sales though. I know it’ll take time and I’m being patient.

The fine art of painting, which is the bastard of alchemy, always has been always will be, a game.The rules of the game are quite simple: in a given arena, on as many psychic fronts as the talent allows, one must visually describe, the center of the meaning of existence.

Things have been a bit slow with my blog and the number of times I post has reduced drastically………………..not that I’ve ran out of steam or content but just that finding the time to post has been very difficult lately. I am pretty sure that I’ll soon find my rhythm again.

One of my works was featured in yet another treasury on Etsy. Do make out time to view it here. Make as many clicks as possible and your comments would be greatly appreciated.

The marvel of a New Life

Abstract ACEO painting by Nkolika Anyabolu (MD)

SOLD

It has been a very hectic week and carrying my increasing weight around has been a challenge that I look forward to everyday. Never knew there would be a time I would feel so comfortable being fat. So comfortable to the point that I would actually joyfully flaunt it. It sure is a thing of great joy watching the way one’s body changes so much in order to accommodate a growing life. For me it is the most wonderful part of God’s creation. A feet that no man has been able to emulate and one that every living being should appreciate.

As artists we struggle to create little things which are often never complicated but our Father in heaven has shown us time and time again that He alone is the master creator. The painting above is an oil painting; one of the very many created under the influence of strong hormones. It was painted entirely with a palette knife and I can comfortably say that every knife stroke was made in unison with every kick in my womb.

I was featured again in another ETSY treasury. Do make out time to visit and click away.  Very many thanks to Elizabeth Graf who is also a wonderful artist.

Turban: Acrylic ACEO painting

Acrylic ACEO painting by Nkolika Anyabolu (MD)

Turban

2.5 x 3.5

copyright Nkolika Anyabolu (MD)

SOLD

Turbans are worn commonly by men in the Northern part of Nigeria and can come in various colors with white being the commonest color. During festivals like the Durbar festival. They dress colorfully and mount of colorfully dressed horses and walk down the streets. I have never personally been to a Durbar festival but it’s a major event in Nigeria.

Quite interestingly these turbans are becoming a big fashion trend for a lot of women who wear them as hats. I have seen some made from great fabric even feathers but I can never seem to understand why they are considered fashionable. And they cost quite a fortune.

Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
