Dreams- sketch pen on paper

A young friend of mine dreams of becoming an IAS officer and a rockstar. He wanted me to draw him in these two avatars. I made these two quick sketches and handed them over. These were spontaneous , instantaneous and seemed to make the dreamer very happy! Iwish him success in both these endeavours.

Anywhere- Vistas..Water colour on paper.

Anywhere..somewhere...

I kept the strokes light and loose. Am planning on doing a few watercolours in 2011. Watercolours are so full of promise and I love the ability of a watercolour to capture light and present freshness.

Two years full!

Two years of active painting and blogging.
Throughout this year, I have discovered more uses of using the blog and learning through it.
Through this post, I want to thanks all those who gave me immense encouragement to believe in my work and take it to the next level. There have been periods of artistic inactivity mainly due to change in family role and work bindings, but overall it was a very good year in terms of Art. I have spent many busy evenings reading email feedback and art forwards from my blog visitors.
Its a good feeling to know this blog has engaged and interested people to keep coming back to view more!
Wishing all a happy new year 2011 and myself, another great year of serious art.

Tears for Fears- Water Colour Pencils

Before they become a thing of the past (at least in my kitchen) due to their soaring prices, I thought of capturing them in a sketch for posterity! This is a 'tongue in cheek" sketch of onions in artistic response to the current unaffordable prices of onions in India.

Slow flow.. Watercolour

A Watercolour again after a long time. This is done out of imagination, on hand made paper.
