festival of lights

In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose – what we want most to be we are.” 


hi....i wish everybody happy diwali..the festival of lights :) . it symbolizes victory of good over evil....i truly hope we win over the evil inside us !!! 
i made Rangoli...i admit its amateurish   and i did'nt do it all alone...and the idea was not solely mine...but it was the only creative thing i did whole week....and only one i wanted to share with everyone ;)
i hope u guys like it...:) . (Rangoli, also known as Kolam or Muggu, is a folk art from India in which patterns are created on the floor in living rooms or courtyards using materials such as colored rice, dry flour, colored sand or flower petals.)

                                         made this one full of powdered colours in front of my house 









made an eco friendly rangoli inside my house.....i used flowers and leaves from my garden to fill it up :)


                             
                                                                  PEACE

go cheap !!!

hi.... early on when i had started painting...and obviously my paintings did'nt turn out too well i`d blame it on the cheap colors / paints...its easy ;). some time later i got the hang of better quality colors / paints...i  had to stop using that escape route :D
        so yesterday...i was sitting in my art room...and feeling all lazy...my palette plate was empty..i had to refill it...nd i did'nt want to do even that bit of work...imagine :). so i started playing with my lil girl`s cheap  watercolor  set...and it came out well...for all my laziness...i think so :)   what do you think ;)..do tell me :D



                                                        i truly believe that saying :)







cheap watercolors are also good fun....art does'nt need fancy stuff !!!






                         
                                           just like that :)

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.” 
― Rumi

" Once, Parvati asks Shiva to chose the one form among her 10 forms which he likes most. To her surprise, Shiva reveals that he is most comfortable with her Kali form, in which she is bereft of her jewellery, her human-form, her clothes, her emotions and where she is only raw, chaotic energy, where she is as terrible as time itself and even greater than time "


hi...
this week i made Kali. Kali comes from the Sanskrit root word Kal which means time. she is normally depicted as black..the literal meaning of word kali . To me she symbolizes strength ...feminine strength. so hail to woman power...may this world become a safer place for us and our lil girls... may people see us not as commodities or things but recognize our inner strength which is the most important thread that binds the society together. Kali

just like that

hi....
   somedays its impossible to create....but i try.. :)
   i m super busy these days....atleast mentally....but i managed to squeeze in some time and painted the cover of my girl`s daily journal.....yup she does keep one like me :D
 painting for her relaxes me...because she is always appreciative of whatever i paint...she does`nt criticize me ..which works for me best ;)
but of late i have realized that this habit of painting something everyday...just a tiny bit...or just sitting nd thinking about painting (no that does`nt work :) )... really does work for me...even when i lose my mojo ;)...

 rule no.1 for all budding artists - paint daily





                       the front flap of my girl`s journal....it had to be a flower with this quote :D




                                      the back page....yup it had to be a bird :)




just trying to show the layers :)



the layers ..... i just love layering

buddha

“Thus Gotama [Buddha] walked toward the town to gather alms, and the two samanas recognized him solely by the perfection of his repose, by the calmness of his figure, in which there was no trace of seeking, desiring, imitating, or striving, only light and peace” 


hi.... this week i got inspired by Buddha..again :). i painted it on a canvas and gave lot of layers to it...the background. Hours happily spent.....hope you guys like it :)

two pages

hi ,
 this week i painted two pages ...actually one was meant to be the background ...but it turned out so colorful and absolutely gorgeous that i didn`t had the heart to turn it into background page. I hope u`ll agree with me....although its absolutely random doodling...but it hardly took any time...i noticed...earlier i had to think...had to look for inspiration...but this time it hardly took anytime...and i was not really worried about the lines or the colors...so there is a kind of looseness in the whole doodled page...which i like. :)
   our big bird...in our flock of three...has gone out of station for few days....nd we are missing him terribly...so my second page is devoted to him :)...so that`s me and my doll sitting out and waiting for him to fly back... :).


                                                               collaged the two pages



                                           two pink birdies ...waiting :)



                                 hey look at the sun and the house...they r collaged from an old layered paper i                                                                       had made.... :)



                                                       aint it colourful !!!!!



the two pages !!!!
