Study(John Fernandes)

This is another study I have done from a great Indian artist John Fernandes. I really admire his work.
He was equally skilled in mediums like pencils, charcoal, crayons, watercolours and oils. John's paintings captured the innocence and delicacy of women. 

Tender Mermories

 I have done this painting from a photo which I had taken from the internet. I don't know the name of the photographer, but the actual credit goes to him/her.
        While painting this, I felt very nostalgic. I remembered how I used to go to school with my father. I was little shy when I was a kid, so he dropped me to school every day. I still remember walking beside him holding his hand, without looking up even once. I still remember the safe and secure feeling I used to get around my father. I enjoyed this painting even more because it made me remember the tender memories of my childhood.

Fun Time

I had been to market with my mom today. I usually avoid doing so because she loves shopping and she takes forever to buy anything. We bought these tomatoes from a street vendor. I painted them when we got home.

Three Musketeers

This is the study I was doing yesterday. I still need to improve my composition skills. And, I think I should focus on my background a little more. Some times its become so hard to take care of everything at the same time :(

Study

I like Richard Schmid's paintings a lot. He is a great artist. I really admire his work. Actually he is like a teacher to me. Even though I haven't met him personally, I have learned a lot from him. And, I am still learning many things. This is a study I have done from his painting.

Yes Boss

I used to like painting before, but now I am enjoying it even more. Every painting seems like a fun ride to me now. I am learning something every single day.
I like the rich blue color of this pot and I am glad that I was able to capture it on my canvas.
PS: This is my first attempt to paint the glass object.

Companion

I had been to Himalayan trek a few months ago. This river accompanied us all the way to our destination. It had crystal clear water and was surrounded by rich green pine trees. I have painted this from the photograph I had taken there.

Cinderella shoes

This is one of my earlier painting. I had bought these shoes from a street market in Thailand. Even though they have become all old now, I still have them because they are almost like  a souvenir  to me now.

Tempting Bananas

This bunch of bananas was looking so fresh that I had to try very hard to resist the temptation of eating them while painting.

Little buddy

This is the cute little bunny which I had got from my friend. I still adore it like a little girl. I used to think that I have all grown up and mature now. But I think that little child is still inside me somewhere waiting  for the opportunity to come out. I just wish I could keep it alive forever.

Dawn

     
          Since childhood I was a studious girl. Like an ordinary Indian child I did my schooling, received a degree and started a promising career. For few days I enjoyed all the new things going around me. But after all this excitement settled down I started feeling different. Even though everything seemed right from society's standards I continually felt something was missing. And, this emptiness grew larger and larger each passing day. At one time it became so unbearable that I left my job and started searching alternate answers.
           After exploring many things, I understood that I feel most happy when I create something new. And… I settled on art. Its not like I accidentally stumbled on it. since  all my life I was doing art in bits and pieces. I had just not thought of it as a serious possibility.
           I have just started my journey as a painter and learning new things every day. I want to share my journey with you guys. Please help me to grow by sharing your opinions. Feel free to comment on any painting, I am open to any criticism.
