Happy New Year

Wishing everyone a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Holiday Sketching

The short, which was supposed to be a winter plus Dussera holidays, has come to an end. I enjoyed it with my son. I am feeling really lonely today without having a little fight over what to do next, he always saying get something to eat, and me asking him to reduce the cartoon channel volume. We did a lot of outing too, only my son and me. We picked a packet of metallic color pencils and did some color pencil sketches with it, here they are.

Calm..

There are many reasons for the birth of this painting. First I was prompted by Deepa to paint, then I was gifted with a fabulous set of colors by my good friend who always encourages me to paint (she is my school mate), and other thing is I am taking part in the event Picture In Your Mind which is hosted by Ikshaa.

I started with a reference photograph. But it turned out to be something else. So I call it my original and picture from my mind. I apologize for disappearing for a long time. I always need a trigger to paint. The triggers can be a good set of paint, a good sketch paper, my mood, and some encouragement. And hence this painting and as always it is not what I expected. I could have done better.

CALM – I was at peace while I finished this piece.

Fun Sketching

A jar of goodies. This is done with crayons by my son Sid. As I gave him company for his art work, I did some color pencil sketching which was fun.

Here are my random sketching.

Homebound

This is a scene which I painted from my mind's eye. The inspiration is from a trip I made to Chitradurga recently. Chitradurga is beautiful place with lot of greenery around. I did not like the way I painted the tree. I did this around a month ago, and I took time to like it, that is why the delay to post it. And also I had been neglecting my blog off late and also I have not been going around the other blogs. I had been really busy with work. And of course the recent terror attack also has dampened the spirit a lot.
