Latest Images from Art Lovers

I've seen some pretty good artworks this past days and weeks...Oh maybe "good" is an understatement. Well, excellent art works and therefore worth sharing...I'll try to haunt them down, since our Facebook page run faster than my  laptop. I hope I can immortalized it here...that is, if blogger.com will exist farther into eternal life...

   Here are some of them...I'm not going to express in words why I like these collections...I'll simply let these pictures speak for itself.

   That's all for now...that's all my computer can handle at this time.

Crazy Picture Fictions chapter 4

by Frank O

Awhile ago we left our adventurer Aaaron and Fher taking a detour in a restaurant...to avoid a suspicious stranger that had been following them. They seems to have forgotten their course as the liquor overshadow them...they filled their belly with drinks....

by Aree M. Salvador-Marin

   Their belly grew bigger as they drink (Oh can't find a better representation than this one. LOL) and turning Disillusioned (Jessica Brant) as the spirit engulf them... 

Yes, I am  a tippler,always making merry,
Who drinks the liqueur distilled in the Nature's brewery,
Where the bees and butterflies bring in the honey
Collected from the roses,foxgloves and peony.

Which is then brewed in the morning dew
Sent by Diana from her heavenly blue,
And some stardust is also added to it
To make the concoction more intoxicating.
Seraphs then gather around to propose the toast,
"Cheers,girl, you are our dear sibling!"

Getting drunk and giddy, I lean on the sun,
Who becomes moon-cold to join in the fun!
        (A Tippler by Portia Burton)

   Oblivious from the sets of eyes hiding in the shadows. Waiting for his moment, watching motionless...anticipating for the moment our two adventurers making any lapses as they drink...

This is the cue...The mysterious stranger suddenly move towards their table...he was holding something that shimmers and metallic, he took it from his side as he slowly made some careful steps...he realized the two were already drowsy so he stood right next to them, moving his head from side to side scanning the place for any soul that might still be around. He found none...
   This made him decide to put the metallic thing right in front of them, then he cleared his mouth and said "Ah Sirs, we are closing..." So he's the attendant after all and the metal that shimmers was the bill platter "Here's your bill." he pull the papers...and show you this...

by Jess Hubahib Najarros

      Ah...who's that? Aaron asked...the waiter was confused, then he looked at the bill. "Err...sorry sir wrong paper." he said scratching his head and finally handed the receipt.

   Our adventurer now took the streets still a bit tipsy but move forward to see Mari Sterling Wilbur...it was already dark and the road were bustling...

  We embarked fearlessly

On a road, you and I

A promise, love and hope

Our only guiding light, 
(The Road by Rimly Bezbaruah)

   "Are you sure we can get there with only those as our guide?" Fher asked Aaron Offord.

   Aaron paused. Maybe they have taken the whole adventure in an impulse. A promise? Love? Hope? Are those enough to solve the mysteries of  Melissa's disappearance. Then they look at the sky above...

by Jerly Thinkingspace

    "Let us ask for their guidance." In union both of them whispered. This gave them new courage to go on with this adventure. In fact they have come to chapter 4 (Thanks to Tagged ArtLover Group members who kept posting their works) and it is just proper not to let down those following this blog who is anticipating it's sequels.  

   The following day  the drama continues...

  The sun is already loosing its glow...and the moon taking its place...when they reach Mari's place...

by Andrea V. Lisi

   Instantly their attention was caught by this amazing place...noticing wonderful collections of rare flowers...

by TianBian Ham

by Carole Chichi

   And some butterflies too...

by Babis Kiliaris

   Seems being pulled by a strong current  they walk inside drawn by the tantalizing landscape of Mari's Garden...
  Then they heard loud barking and its rushing towards their direction fast and before they could move a large dog came charging their way...

by MaryPoet Rios

      Snarling and in rage the beast or Mari's guard dog charges the intruder...our adventurers panic...

Latest Arts and Blogs

It's hard to keep track of what's happening and are the latest works from our members...lately we received very interesting paintings and even blogs  that keep our page rolling. Thank you guys for the unconditional sharing. I'll try to list here some of them, in case you missed them the first time. 

   Our members had been very supportive to other artist as they post works from other creatives too. Here is a sample of that sharing posted by Vince Roque, a work from fellow Filipino artist R. Alcantara 

Acid Swim by Rolly Alcantara

   "Langoy sa Asido" or Acid Swim is a mixed-media piece...this one may have been inspired by the recent fish-kill from various part of the Philippine Archipelago. This takes us to wonder if we are really good steward of our planet.  

   Now here's another work that is currently making some thread. Although we maybe united in our ideals of uplifting the arts, of course you can not discount the possibilities of some exchanges of ideas that are not totally aligned with each other...yet through it all we still meet in the end (I hope).

Commentaries and art sharing on ArtLover

The past days there are some lively exchanges of idea and commentaries at Tagged ArtLover Group on its Facebook page...some of these remarks are nourishing or I should say quite surprising. It was unexpected and I think it would be worth immortalizing here, so we can look back and peek into the minds of art lovers. Some are quotable quotes that render varied points of views regarding an artworks or affirmation of "LIKE(s)" on certain posts. 

  As Fher Ymas had said "wisdom are often found in unusual places..." and this includes the networking sites. Our profile picture are regularly change to presents art works from our members...hopefully to gain likes and critique. Here are some:

by Frank Powell

Kaye Lasola 

This is how I see it...The angle of the head slightly bows signifies... she does not have the courage to look at what she's doing...The closed eyes signify discomfort... The curve lips signify...the lady is on the verge of crying, she might be doing it against her will... The two arms closed to the body signify unhappiness, unsafe feeling, nervousness... And the main point of that art is her breast...not the lady herself....

Maheshwar N. Sinha AGGRESSIVELY BEAUTIFUL.... I cannot stop to write something....everyone can create something,,, but it's the way...just it's here... one of great goals of recreation/art is to sublime our passion, you got there... million thanks to Powell! This art has just hanged me--I'm dead man! Is there anyone to save me...(:

Portia Burton Her tresses remind me of the poisonous adder that bit Cleopatra's breast to put her to eternal sleep!


Melissa Tandoc I agree on both sides...artists have a responsibility to the viewers... we cannot put things together and then call it art... on being artists, I think everyone has the capacity to create but not all engage in doing so... it also takes talent.There is sacredness in art. On that matter, I say, that not everything that we draw, paint or sculpt "nude" is art...;)

Fher Ymas Visual Artist

Nude painting isn't the only concern for moralist. Even without nudity it can be classified as a smut if it shows filthiness and absurdity. Do we need censorship too in Painting? Of course that would be too harsh...it could mean violation of our freedom of expression BUT then again some freedom are abused...


Maheshwar N. Sinha Philosopher, painter, writer Khalil Zibran's paintings mostly were nude, nudity also suggests purity, yes, Khalil's paintings never looked 'nude' in worldly way...,

by Portia Burton

Melissa Tandoc molto bella Portia Burton :)

Maheshwar N. Sinha really really nice work, inspired but there is something brightened in it, congratulations! color contrast is my personal liking, you've it!

by Razali Abdul

Portia Burton when your lines can make music like this painting, why do you need metallic music?

by Maurice Dolezal

Fher Ymas Visual Artist interesting piece...the triangular approach gave that dimension of height and gravity.

by Fher Ymas

Portia Burton oh,what a composition!the half-page layout is intelligent.

by Janina Cross Medina

Cindy Cynch Thank you so much Fher for sharing my daughter's artwork in your group...this anime drawing is copied only from her favorite Manga Artists Compilation...

Melissa Tandoc That's a good start Cindy Cynch...She'll find her own style as she experiments on other things ;)...good luck and thanks for supporting the group :)

Portia Burton I'd recommend Janina not to develop her art in her mother's shadow.She should explore her own potential.This has helped me,so I want the same for Janina!

by Maurice Dolezal

Portia Burton the strength of this painting lies in the subject's intense eyes which have been done superbly!Salute!

Hemant Kumar congrats to Serena....she has done very nice and appriciable work...compositionwise,frame and colour selection....her work diserve ..for appriciation and exibition...best wishes...

My 5 years old daughter even get a review of her own work too...

by Elyona Jean Ymas

     Kaye Lasola I look at it as an Egyptian Robot Puppy with a witch hat and a baby crawling :).... or two kids sat down (still with a baby crawling), the heads of the two kids collided with the car....I'm trying to think as a 5-year old this time ^_^...
