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.

HorseWagon

This is a reproduced painting using color pencils.

DUSK

This is a usual scene you can see when you travel through Kerala by train. I love to see the silhouette during the late evenings and very early in the morning, the flicker of the tiny lamps shining in the hutments and in the boats which is already set out for their work for the day or returning home in the evenings. This gives me immense happiness. Simply weaving stories how it would be to be living in those beautiful places which is melted so close into the nature.

Don’t ask me what paper I have painted this and when.

White Hibiscus

This is a hibiscus from my grandmother's garden. The reference image is spotlessly white. I had to add some amount of pink, just to add depth and interest. I know it has lot of flaws, but I am leaving it at this point. I dare not do anything more on this white flower.

One winter morning

This is another scenery I stole from a greeting card. I have done this particular painting so many times. I just love this scene, may be because it suits my mood sometimes. Each time I have painted this, it has looked different.

Family

I found the other painting. It was actually in my sketch diary, and I had not taken a snap of it, so I thought I have done it on a paper and searched the whole house(with little hope). Whenever I find something after a difficult search like this, I will always think I should keep in mind to look for the lost things first in the easiest place but always forget the rule.

Black and White

I dont remember when I painted this. I think this was an inspiration after a program I saw in National Geographic Channel sometime back. I remember making two of this kind, I should search for the other painting.
