IF. Similar 2008-12-08 09:02:00 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

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 Read more:Drops
