Alone in the world

swimming in the middle of a Distant Island.

When it was my time to go in the water,  the sun wasn’t even out because a big cloud was covering its light, I swam towards the others while adjusting the snorkel and within seconds I saw the sharks swimming below me, they were in different levels, some seemed very distant and others way closer to us, a bunch of them.

I felt so little, so alone and so full of life at the same time, I was in the middle of an ocean I don’t know, with people I’ve never seen in my life surrounded by sharks and the immensity of the ocean. Not too long after we dove into the water, rain started to pour over us and a beautiful rainbow appeared on the horizon, sun was out but still kinda hidden in between clouds, it was so magical, it was too much! Way too much, I’m happy to share this moment with you all, I’m forever wishing to share these experiences with people I love but I’m too long gone, too far away.

Thank you Cullen Morris, he was part of the crew and he got to snap beautiful photos like the ones in this post. Can you believe these ?

I’m forever grateful for my health first of all, second grateful for being up to a challenge.

Gracias por leerme  and Aloha to you all,

Bomba.

If you were seeing this painting anywhere, I don’t think you’d know I painted this, Is something I’ve never done before, I don’t usually use a lot of colors, I love using whites and lavenders with black so I’m surprised of how this one turned out because even tho is not even and is not perfect I do love all the weird elements in it, perhaps nothing really makes sense to you, the house it’s the main focus here, I feel like the inspiration comes from the houses I’ve seen while riding the bus on the route that goes on Kamehameha Highway by Pupukea on the North Shore, all the houses there are right by the ocean, some of them so old and unique, others more modern with asian accents, big and small and surrounded by plants and flowers and lots of palm trees, I guess I collected some of the details i’ve liked and dream about my ideal home. There’s me on the corner right below admiring the mountains and the waves. A clay vase I made, some flowers, a wave, more palm trees and overall just me exploring the brushes and the acrylic palette I have.
