Lake Side

When I was in school I always got the first place for all the painting competitions held at school. I feel a tug of pain when I realize I do not have those paintings with me now. I did not have a camera to take a copy of it too. During those days I have reproduced many paintings from art books I found in my school and college library and also greeting cards I received. My friends used to make sure they give me a card with scenery in it. I used to gift my paintings to them and I am sure they still have them. This is one such painting I have reproduced from an art and painting book.

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.

Butterflies

Flower Bunch

I have reproduced this painting from a greeting card I received many years ago. There is no artist name on it. Though the card looks very dull, a closer look at it you can see the beautiful butterflies on the flowers. This made me to paint it with some bright colors. I have used the same colors as it was on the card but brightened it up a bit.
