This time am sharing another love, done in acrylics and it's one of my favorite one's poppies, airy , light, carefree.

The signify regeneration- beginning-end and all in between.

Botanical Explorations 1

I have always loved flowers not only they are beautiful but it's just the way they make you feel, instantaneously happy and calm. There is a little exercise that I had been doing for a few days, painting flowers sometimes in watercolor other times in mixed media. As a subject I find it to be very very forgiving and diverse. As I had mentioned before I like organic shapes and flowers fall into that same pattern. I don't know to be a kid I always thought that botanical are really hard to paint but later on in college when I had Botany( the study of plant life) as a minor I had to draw diverse type of flowers and leaves and anything and everything in-between as a part of my credits and only then I found them to be magical and very satisfying.

Waiting and obey

This is something new that I have started posting few days back in my other social media named Now -quotes, all the quotes are from my own little brain . I wanted to share them to someone who may be depressed or lost or people who are just starting out. Please feel free to share your feeling generously about events, incidents , challenges and any failures which you may have encountered . I am looking forward to attaching a forum with this blog where we can share thoughts and help each other in out different journeys.

Coming Back

I would start by saying a big sorry to all the people who follow this blog, you see as an artist its more like scientific research - you read stuff like art history, try to think what can you include in your own work and simultaneously work on your self made modus operandi.

Also as like most artist if you are not Damien Hirst or Andy Warhol its always better to stick to a day job and that's what I do.I am a web and application developer. Don't get me wrong I take my journey as an artist very seriously but if you don't have anything to eat the next morning you can't make art , anyone who had been a struggling artist knows this very well.

I think the last post that I wrote was a year back in June 2015 and that is very shameful for a blogger to his/her reader to ask for such patience, but you know what I am lucky in that sense I still have people visiting in my blog - I can't be thankful enough for that.I won't promise much but I can promise atleast one post per week from now.

Moving to what am working on lately are this line artworks with color pencil and occasionally I experiment with water color as well.

I really like organic patterns it has been a great part of my work because it comes very naturally to me so in a way they are naive and soulful , I think you get what am trying to describe here, I won't acknowledge them as doodling which is a very generalized term - because although the shapes are spontaneous they do have long hours of reading and experimentation behind them .

Returning after a long time

A big sorry to all my readers ,I took an approximate break of 6 months and that is really long I know but I needed to take care of my visual art stuff and with bunch of shows coming up there was a rush to build up the inventory.

So without going anywhere else lets take up this topic of returning as a topic of the day.For me returning is a natural process of life something which we all need to do once in a while, return to our roots,return to left over projects,complete task which are forgotten and for all those little things I keep a journal , this is a separate one than the usually stuff of grocery, parties, meetings , shows and all those other events that invade my life.Some I really love because i have meet some amazing people and got to learn a lot from there others are like "here I am tell me what I need to you" and rest I don't care.

How about you ? Do you sometimes think you need to return to something that you might not have done for a long time and really badly want to do?.Find time do that and you will find it is very rewarding to the soul . We all need that may be it's like climbing a tree or jumping on trampoline or visiting /calling a friend ,baking your favorite cookies,going through old photo albums , remembering grandma anything really go do that before it is late.Return where you want to and you might be surprise your next journey may actually start there,
