Sorry folks for not being active on the blog of late. Been busy with other things. Just check out this fallen tree on the beach painting of mine. Just love painting beaches, One of the best paintings of mine that I am proud of. 

My venture into Abstract painting Scenario

I am not the person to do Abstracts – it was my way of thought for some time. But you know as a firm believer of the saying If there is a will there is a way I started out. It was difficult to get the concept right. But when i let my thoughts and imagination roam free it came out just right. Here is the 3^rd one of my abstract series- The Universe. 

Acrylic on Canvas. I feel the colours have come out right this time and certainly loved it. U can call it a picture symbolic of global warming or find other hidden meanings in it. By the way this one is for sale in the unframed format.

My fascination for the sea has become the theme of many of my paintings. I saw a picture of a beach visited by the then Prime Minister Deve Gowda on the daily Malayala Manorama and just could not resist painting it.I do not exactly remember the name of the beach. It was a rocky beach where the  high tide has ebbed with the breeze blowing hard. As usual there were the coconut palms in the background and the sandy beach.  Now it has been framed and hangs in one of the rooms of my flat.Just check out this painting called "The Shallow Beach".And many thanks to Ex. Prime Minister Deve Gowda for bringing this wonder of nature to my notice.

So folks from the raging seas to the rocky mountains- It has been quite a journey. For a long time I did not paint again. I was down with chicken pox and just didn't get the right mood to do it. After a long gap I started doing some fabric painting from lessons I learnt from the TV, asking neighbours etc. So now I had some leftover fabric paints. and the problem with them is they dry too fast. I decided to do a painting on cloth canvas. And is the result is for you to see.

The Blue skies, the mountains with a green carpet the dried up creek, the bushes - Nature at its very best!

The second pot I did which came out well. I had some leftover paint with me. So I just freaked out with a paint brush and on it I did the design with fevicryl glitter paste. I finished it out with a coat of clear varnish. This pot adorned my kitchen cabinet for some time. Then it shined as the center piece for my glass topped dining table. Now it just adds to the charm of my living room.

I do think I should write more on my other hobby Pot decoration. I started doing it for fun when I got hold of two earthen vessels used for storing drinking water. It felt good shaping flower petals and leaves using  chalk powder mixed with Fevicol. It was a bit messy at first then I go the hang of it and could do it more fast. Will post photos of my Pot decoration works soon.
So folks here is one of my first pot decoration works

Should say it looks messy what with the clear varnish coating I did on it staining a bit. 

After a long gap I felt the urge to paint again and the outcome - The painting Rough Sea hangs in my living room now. I am quite fascinated with the sea waves dashing against the rocks and the water running over the rocks. This was done with water colours on paper. NOW I started feeling confident that I can do better and decided to do more paintings. Guys hope u all like it!

Doing a portrait style painting has always been one of my dream projects. So here I am with the portrait of a dancer. I felt quite satisfied that I could absorb all her beauty  and present her in all her splendour.The dress and background have come out well. Hope u all will like it as I did.

I am improving folks!. Really should go for professional training so that I can do more portraits.
Lots more to come.....

Now that my blogging has officially started I feel that I should definitely start writing more. Coming to the next painting of mine. I started experimenting with crayons left behind by my kids and lo! behold a scenery right off the natural canvas of the Himalayan Valleys. For this I started using handmade paper with a rich texture which was reflected in the painting.So folks what do you say?

So friends here I am with a new blog of my own just to feed my passion for painting! When I go through the years I see myself not too skilled in painting in my school years. No going to any art school to get any training. But it was after my marriage I think I tried my hand at painting. I found some dried up poster colours and with that I started.

My first painting was resembling the horror flick - The Zee Horror Show. And to my surprise it came out well. Thereafter started my painting saga........

Well starting from myfirst attempts, I now stand proud to say I am not too bad with colours. So here is a sample of a few of my humble attempts

The Snake charmer. This painting decorates the walls of one of the  rooms in my flat. So folks now that am truly into this just wait for more updates and hope this will inspire u all too
