Watercolor painting on paper
I'm a frustrated artist. LOL. No, really. I am. I obviously am. Haha! I always try to draw and paint but can never really concentrate on it long enough to develop what little part of me is still artistically skilled. So... the 'artworks' that I rarely come up with would always be caused by sudden and brief spasms of creativity.
One example is this. I made this last year and I remember promising to myself that I'd continue painting so that I could put into paper the images or scenes that I often suddenly think of. But... meh. Obviously, that didn't follow through!
FACT: I painted a lot back when I was still in high school. I mostly painted sunsets and abstract stuff and then that stopped when I started my fourth year; I actually want to kick myself so hard (if I could) because I left all of those frames and painting materials back in Batanes and I didn't even take photos of my work—or if I did, well I can't find it. But yes... there's no use crying over it now. 
*cries still* LOL

But anyway, going back to this ANIMA painting, I titled it as such because as definition goes:
“Anima” is the inner personality; the soul; life. It is the source of the female personality while Animus is the source of the male.
From that, I guess you can just infer whatever kind of meaning you think I was trying to portray because I really can't find the will to explain it right now... Haha! But no, I'm not joking. I can still remember my reason for painting it this way but it's just too embarrassing to restate it again. Yeah, it really is. 
But if you're a follower of my Tumblr blog, you can rake through my past posts, and if you're lucky you'll see my entry for this.

Now I actually painted this during a time when I was feeling down and lost... which is kind of funny I know, because I used such lively colors. And yep, I intended it to look unfinished, with her hair like that and all.
Hmmm... I must resurface this hobby! ★
How about you? What hobby/hobbies do you miss doing?

Nice blog ...like to come back here again for your updated post.
My youngest sister loves painting and she's still in the process of practicing her skills. Will share this post to her. I love it! There's something very calming about this piece :)
wow, you've got talent. continue on painting. you've got some real skills in there.
I wish I could paint like you. =))) I don't even know how to draw a person. Just some sticks and circles. Haha!
Nice painting, Aileen. Paint more! I used to paint in high school. Seeing this, I want sketch and paint again.
oh this is really pretty! I love the color combination!
I love this painting. It's amazing how colors bring life to everything you draw. I miss drawing too. But I'm not into this kind of drawing. I often do cartoons stuffs. To maintain what little things I learned through reading drawing tutorials, I see to it that I draw something to my little journal as a summary of how my day was. I guess its a good hobby :)
You are a beautiful painter! The picture is lovely :) You should definitely paint more!

I admire how you express your feelings through your art. I can't even paint a single thing. My image of a human is made purely of sticks if you know what I mean, the old kid thing.
I miss doing sort of crafts. I don't have a particular hobby but I guess doing crafts is what I miss the most.
Wow! This is gorgeous! Me, I miss sketching..
Wow! This is gorgeous! me, i miss sketchin...
