                                                      the big one

                        the smaller one...it was easier to manage :)

hi,
    resolutions....with this year i took one resolution...that i`ll paint big....so no more only painting in small sketchbooks...but trying to paint on larger canvases is the big thing on my list :)...

stones

o listen
o sense how
even the smooth stones sing
the stories of their youth
about the lashes of waves
and their journey!!!!


happy new year
hi, i took a looooong break .....yup almost two months....amidst festival,wedding,vacation i hardly had any time or energy to paint. but i m back now with all new vigour....:) for long haul again :)

so we went to a beach location for vacation....my lil girl ran across the whole beach and collected all kind of stones....it was a delight to watch how much joy simple no worth stones can bring...(and the thought entered my heart that how in our grown up world we run after priced `stones'). like always we collected and saved all of them and brought them back home. my succulents are always in need of stones....i keep growing my succulent collection actually :D....so painted a few for my succulents ...i hope u like them :)

                                                     five lettered word that says it all....

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

                          the empty diyas in centre waiting to be filled with oil and lit up....brightening our diwali :)

another flower post

hi....
     yup i love making flowers.....i cant stop making them...every time i hold my brush i want to make a flower :)
  so another flower post from me....i took a break from blogging last week.....i hope somebody out there misssed my blog ;)...hehehehe
hope you love my flowers....do tell ...love.

heart and flowers :D

the background is the wrapping paper i made with my lil girl for upcoming festive season... it was fun !!!!

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 :)

offering

“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
