On The Foothills

Laid my hands on watercolors after a very long time.This medium definitely needs a lot of practice.I did feel a lot rusty as the strokes wouldn't come out smooth.But, the fact is I love using watercolors.If the result is good,it boosts up your confidence and if not, it can be a good learning experience.That is optimistic me.:)

Down The Muddy Lane

While painting this piece I was reminded of the hot sunny days ahead.People have been waiting for spring   desperately in some parts of the world but here in my state,in India,winter is very short lived.Before you actually feel it,its gone.This year though,it lasted a little longer than usual.Woolens finally had their turn to see the outside world.But now again,one can feel the rising temperature,the harsh sun and hot and humid weather will be soon here again.:(

Ceaseless Flow-SOLD

Last ten days or so had been extremely busy for me.Never found enough time to paint.I am glad this weekend I managed to paint something.This is a quick watercolor work which is done from a photograph that I clicked a few years back when I visited Simlipal National Forest with my family.Have some great memories of the trip.Not very satisfied  with the way this piece turned out but I was simply happy to paint something.This piece also goes as my first entry to the blog In The Moment Challenge where the topic for the challenge is "Tranquil".

My cousin is getting married on 20th of this month and so, I will be away from the painting zone for some more time but I am super excited for a family get together. Wishing all a very happy Valentine's Day.:)

Happy To Be Single-SOLD

Last week was completely dedicated to this painting.It wasn't that this piece was laborious, but that I couldn't find  much time to paint.So,I am happy to finish this somehow.

I thought of submitting this piece to TGP where the recent topic is "Adapt".I did not start it as a submission piece but when Tanya Amberson posted this recent challenge,I  found this piece to be fit for it. Waterlily being  an aquatic  plant has adaptations which supports life in water.Being a student of biology my mind keeps moving to adaptations in its cells and tissues.I better stick to my art blog.:)

Have a great weekend everyone.
