Just Be…
Yes, two little words…but deep, very deep in fact. We need to learn from nature! Here’s a little poem I wrote some days ago, and here’s an art jot supporting it… Live like the birds, the flowers and the trees… Look at them, they have no worries… What will happen and what will not… Things…

Tangles – Alphabet Art
Ah! The smell of a new sketchbook…I know it’s been ages! Yes! I think I say that each time I post here… Well, at least I am doodling again. Art journaling has been on my mind for a while now, and after spending hours relishing all the beautiful strokes of geniuses on the world wide…

He asked me what it means to die…
He asked me what it means to die… Why each and everyone has to bid goodbye To be born and brought up And then to finally leave… Leave behind friends and family to grieve… There is a higher self inside each one of us that drives us like a driver would a car This never…

Van Gogh Inspired
I like the painterly Van Gogh strokes…no doubt he liked them so much, it is simply therapeutic..the short swirly strokes add so much of life into the artwork. This one in particular had to have the swirls. I am tempted to add some more. This is what I created last night. It does look very…

WIP – Bougainvillea
After a long long break from my easel and pastels, I ‘think’ I am getting back to it. Feels good! Scumbling is so much fun… My keyboard, well, I am working alongside my painting…is all nice and pink as well 🙂

Tulip – WIP
I paint in spurts and bounds, one teeny weeny painting, and then a long break. Just need to shake off the laziness and get down to some serious pastelling. I kind of promise myself each time I paint, that this time it is going to stay…I mean the painter in me 🙂 Well, here’s another…

On the way to Palampur – WIP
Just came back from a lovely little vacation in the hills. On the way to Palampur, clicked several hundred pictures…couldn’t resist as everything seemed so divine and beautiful. But sometimes what your mind can capture the camera fails to. This is a work in progress, this time I painted a small one (as suggested by…

Orange!
Pure pigment, pure bliss…Pastels are simply irresistible! So finally after almost a zillion days I am back at my easel, pastelling! It is therapeutic, I must say. Clicked a picture of these in a garden, don’t know what these are called. Let me know if someone figures it out! My son is now 2 years…

Flower Power
Lately I have been thinking of experimenting a little…been wanting to paint a simple/abstract like painting. This one is a small approx 10″x10″ of a bouganvillea, done on neutral gray canson paper. Before I started off, I was quite unsure about what it would it look like. Well, I can say, I am quite happy…

Blossom
Another one from a picture on Wetcanvas Reference Library. I really enjoyed working on the background haze…

Lemony
A bowl of lemons…lemon has always inspired me. I like the smell, the texture and ofcourse the taste!

Hibiscus
Yet another Floral Portrait! This time though, the color palette is very intense. Nature is so AMAZING! It’s a pleasure to see these wonders of nature come alive under my fingers 🙂

An Apple a Day
I painted this one from a picture posted in the Reference Library of WC (Wetcanvas.com). It was simply irresistable! Loved the play of light and shade.

Trinity – Water Lilies Re-visited
This is one of my favourite subjects.Painted a closeup of the same, sometime last year. This time I just wanted to re-visit the ‘pond” painting. The leaves are very loosely done, with bold strokes of greens and yellows. The same technique follows on in the stems, rather more loose so to speak. As always, it…
