House in the woods

          I  was doing another color study today with purple and yellow colors and the good news is, this time I did not end up with piles of colors. But I liked the idea of painting with limited palate. This is improving my color knowledge  a lot. So I did this painting with yellow, alizarin crimson and blue colors.
     I had taken this photograph 4 months ago in a small village near the foothill of himalaya. It was a bright morning and the sun rays were making the yellow grass and the trees to glow brilliantly. There was this little barn in the shadows of the tree. I had sat there for an hour peacefully, basking in the warm sun light. I enjoyed the feeling once again while painting this scene.

          

Grey hair Young Eyes

I am posting once again after a long gap. Its hard not to get discouraged when there is no one to teach and you are on your own. But somehow I managed to get over it and started painting again.
       I had met this man in a pahadi area near foothill of Himalaya. He had an interesting face and most interesting sparkling eyes. So I took his photograph (with his permission  of course:P) . I really enjoyed painting this after a long time.
