IF: Rambunctious
2008-12-15 04:22:00
I have rambunctious hair. They have a mind of their own. I was born with a big bundle of wavy hair. I have tried straightening, perming, different hairstyles ,creams and shampoos and lots of stuff. When I want them to look wavy they become silky and straight and vice versa.The first two drawings show what happens when I try different hairstyles.The middle row shows what happens before, after and l

I look similar to my mirror image -LOL... I am kind of lost of what to write today. I love mirrors. I could spend lot of time looking into them. There are times when I see my paintings in the mirror..just to see if they look pretty. Sounds crazy but I am in love with the mirror. It shows me what I might ignore otherwise. It shows me how others might think . I believe that the mirror image is basic

This month's face challenge at Embrace the Face is White. This is a pencil sketch I did yesterday .Coincidently it fits the theme perfectly.

Rain Drops
2008-12-03 03:30:00
I have very fond memories of rain in India. In India there are fixed months for each season and it rains only between June to September. Rain in India is often linked to hot tea , pakodas (snack), romantic time , holidays ,festivals, kids playing in water accumulated , making paper boats and the pleasing scent of the wet soil which rises into the air. I finished this painting yesterday themed on

So I changed my layout today. I think I totally messed it up. Did you ever have those moments in your life when you like something and get it and then totally dislike it . I am having one of those moments. But now that I have went through the effort of changing the background I think I will keep it for some time till I find the motivation and time to change it back ,maybe today or after 10 days de

There is a Balloon farm up the hill. Each Balloon is not only colourful but is also full of beautiful dreams, hope and love. I went to this farm and picked up a few balloons.

Prayer for Mumbai

Mumbai is facing brunt of terror . I rarely watch TV but since the past 2 days I am watching all the news channels day and night hoping for some good news. As a Indian and a maharastrain, I feel sad and helpless to just watch the terrorists play havoc while innocents fall victims .No creations today, just a heart felt prayer for all this to end safely and for justice to be done.

It has been snowing all the time since a few days and the temperature is just above zero degrees and I am loving it. It is beautiful outside -snow capped Alps look dazzling when the sun is shining.I have been working on few of my paintings.

My very first mandala with acrylic paints in yellow , maroon and shimmering copper. I had not planned on painting a mandala but it just happened . It represents all the good things in life and how all nice things attract similar good things/people/ideas in life . Sometimes the good times get slowed down while reaching us due to some difficulties but eventually everything falls into place and li

This time I am into White & Silver Christmas Decorating Theme. I have already started working on the decorations. I want to create the glamour of a white Christmas.

"Hey Teddy , Dolly ...Tell me how do I look ? Do I look pretty like Mommy?" When I read this week's IF's topic 'Pretend' I actually thought it was a difficult topic to illustrate. But then when I was thinking about some other childhood memories I remembered how much I (and for that matter all small kids) love to dress up like adults , wear mum's sho
