Back with a bang!

‘Love at first sight’ I would call it. But on second thoughts, it seemed to difficult too attempt.

Bent down, I reached to the folder in which I had kept the sketches my art teacher had given me back at school for inspiration. This was my first step to reunite with my paints and brushes. Unconfident of my abilities after a hiatus of two years, I had decided to start with painting on traditional paper chart before I took back to canvass.

Now, before I could get hold of the folder, a sketch of a landscape lying near it caught my attention. I loved the landscape at the first instance, but on second thoughts it looked too difficult. Keeping it aside,I took out the blue folder and browsed through the other samples I had. But it turned out to be futile as none appealed to me as the one I had seen first . I sighed. I had no other choice. I decided to play it by the ear and finalised my love of first sight as the painting to be.

THE WORLD IN IMAGES

DAY#8 THEME-NATURAL WORLD & LEADING LINES Exploring the natural world with a camera in hand, I shot the subtle bends in the Aloe Vera plant. Details captured!
DAY#8 THEME-NATURAL WORLD & LEADING LINES In quest for a pattern, I noticed the stem of this bonsai which reminded me of a magical tree in a cartoon series. The lower part seemed the body and the branches resembled its hands sprawling all over.
DAY#12 THEME- WARMTH & THE QUALITY OF LIGHT The task was to go out and use the sun as a light source to capture the scenes. This picture aptly depicts how a subject lit from the side creates a mix of light and shadows to created beautiful shots.
DAY#9 THEME- WARMTH & THE QUALITY OF LIGHT The image truly captures the effect of sun as the light source. The color of the leaves varies from dark green to light green depending upon the amount of sunlight falling in them.if you zoom in, you’ll see a beautiful play of light and shadow on the leaves.
DAY#11 THEME- POP & COLOR This is an abstract painting of an Indian bride painted by me. The red dress stands out against the black background.
DAY#12 THEME-ARCHITECTURE & MONOCHROME The monochrome effect gives a beautiful touch to the image of the simple old architectural frame of the house.
DAY#12 THEME-ARCHITECTURE & MONOCHROME SUNLIGHT FALLING DOWN ON THE HOUSE MAKES THE SCENE LOOK EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL
DAY#16 THEME- TREASURE & CLOSE UP MY TREASURE-My paintings
DAY#16 THEME- TREASURE & CLOSE UP My cherished paintings are a part of my treasure box. The image shows my art file in the backdrop. The painting on the top shows a dream I depicted in this still life. Did you notice it?
DAY#17 THEME- GLASS Glass is a fun surface to experiment with!
DAY#17 THEME- GLASS Introduction of a reflective surface in the shot truly adds a layer of complexity to the image.
DAY#19 THEME- DOUBLE Double can be interpreted in many ways. Here’s my take- similar pattern on both sides of a door.The handles add to the twin effect.

WHO COULD SAVE THEM FROM MY PAINT BRUSHES?!

Here’s the wonder I created from my school canvass shoes, which were lying unused since I completed my schooling. It was on my mind to do something creative with them so that I could atleast wear them in daily life..

So the motivation and and actual  free time to act upon this when I was ill back in 2013,so much that I was at home fora number of days. Lying on bed idle whole day was getting too much to handle.on the top of it, I was not able to watch TV or socialise on internet  to kill time as my eyes pained from the strain. So I got this genius idea to paint these shoes.

I have not painted anything since, but I guess I should heed to my mother and start this dormant hobby of mine back again. Wish me luck and motivation.

Thank you  🙂
