Hey Glen (Silas) here. Welcome to my Orble Art School and Meet Up Bio!

I have been an art student since as long as I can remember! I began drawing inspired by my favorite cartoons. I loved the meditative quality of drawing and the freedom to create whatever I wanted. I grew and grew and began to create more and more realism! Art is an expression of inner self and total freedom. It's very tranquil and peaceful.

I drew for many years and only began painting in high school and college simply because the classes required it. For some reason I didn't think I'd like painting, boy was I wrong.

In recent years my love for art and fashion have collided and I've become increasingly fascinated with clothing Alteration and design!

Come along on this journey with me in creative growth!

Title or Location: Fireflies
My artform is Chinese Brush Painting. Here I am using all the skills and tools (Chinese ink and pigment on Xuan paper) that I would use in traditional work, but taking it in a more abstract direction. I recall a magical evening many years ago when I stopped the car with my children to marvel at an entire field of fireflies. Today, when we fog our yards to kill mosquitos, it also destroys all those sweet fireflies, butterflies, bees, etc.

This original painting is a 9X12, oil over acrylic on a cradled birch wood panel with sides painted. She comes from the mist with stealth and grace. She is stepping out of the painting, bridging the gap between what is just existance and what is art. I have two words to explain my inspiration for this piece, ?Stay strong? She, this creature represents my own struggle to move forward and come out of the fog of my own tumultuous past. This beautiful animal symbolizes courage and determ

Moon is a symbol of Emotion . Ocean is a symbol of power . On a full moon day Moon seems to come down closer to the ocean and on the other hand Ocean seems to raised up to the sky to reach the moon. When this happens the sight is incredible resembling the beauty of Life. I tried to put the same into my artwork with acrylics paints on canvas.
