Asalam Walaikum,

I just wanted to share my latest canvas painting with all the readers. I feel like I'm improving on my sunset sky blending. Before I would only use red and orange, but I have kind of learned how to blend in some other colors like black, blue, and purple. Personally I like how it turned out, I may even do a bigger version for my living room. I'm pretty excited about that.
I would love to start selling some of my paintings but just don't know how to get started, I'm sure I will figure something out. I have heard of a website where you can have your own little paintings shop among a whole bunch of other artists but I have forgotten the name. If anyone knows please do let me know. So anyways here is a picture of my painting, it is a painting of a man making Dua out in the desert by a mosque at sunset. I find this painting has a powerful message and gives me a feeling of serenity. Hope you all like it:)

I never realized I could enjoy painting so much. I was inspired by i-hijabi to touch on this topic about my own experiences with painting. When I was younger I always enjoyed paint by numbers, drawing, coloring and the like, but which child doesnt enjoy the endless hours of coloring fun. In high school I started drawing lots of anime style cartoons and realized I wasnt too bad at it, but as time went on I got busy with other aspects of my life. Fastforward about 5 years and here I am in love with art once again. Now I realize maybe all my years of drawing and painting weren't for nothing, now I enjoy painting and sharing my art with others about Allah and Islam. Ive found somewhere where my hand can be put to good use, and hopefully inspire others along the way! So dig out your paintbrush, crayons or pencil and go wherever your hand takes you.

Here are just a few examples of what I have done so far, but MANY more to come, Inshallah!
