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.

Spring

I started this blog thinking that I will have more of my craft work to show. J insisted that I am more inclined to painting than doing crafts for which I disagreed. Now J proved to be right. I have more for Sketch Diary than for Glass Beads. Here is another of my landscape from the diary. May be I will name it spring. I love when it is spring, lot of chirpy birds and flowers all around.

Landscape

I love doing landscapes. This is imaginary. Since I am not trained at this, there may be a lot of errors about the shadows and lighting. I don't know. From my point of view, it is looking nice and I had hidden it in my diary for at least 4 years now. Now it is out here for everyone to see.
