Music!

A long due theme of Music! 

Wanted to try this 'painting on a black background' for a while and really wanted to try the Pink Floyd iconic prism :). 'Wish you were here' has always been one of my favourite songs and definitely is one of the first things that comes to my mind when I think of music! And what better way to paint music other than with colours...

Many flaws in the painting, the black could've been smoother and so could some other colours, but had to post it nevertheless.

Power lines!

Just a sketch after a really long time. 

Thanks for the inspiration http://goo.gl/jWeIk and of course the power electronics textbook lying on my table!

Tribal

Yesterday was truly one of the most productive days in recent times and yes one of the contributing factors was me painting after more than a month! I feel terrible to have not been able to paint, just have to manage my time better I guess..

The long due theme was Tribal. I have tried to give this artwork a 'folk' look with the blend of dark and bright colours, together with a figurine. Couldn't think of a better use of colours to depict the theme. I think my strokes with acrylic are getting smoother with every trial and I'm loving the effect! 

Independence!

Its been three weeks since I posted anything and I can see irregularity creeping in more often! Don't want to blame the work load...today I had to make something and post and thanks to Mr. Federer and his match, I decided to sit in the living room in front of the television without my paints, table and chair resulting in a crayon art. 

The theme was independence since it was meant to be for the week in which India celebrated its 65th independence day! The backdrop is inspired by one of Karthick's photographs http://goo.gl/6hr68. I guess freedom and birds go hand in hand and thats how I decided to make this one that best depicts independence and completed it with the Indian flag!

Aggression!

 

Last week's theme was Aggression! Yes I did miss a couple of weeks and hopefully can compensate this week by making another one soon. 

Many things came to my mind with the word aggression. One of them was volcanoes, nature's form of aggression! This post is an attempt to bring out the aggression in form of colours! I have tried to paint fire using acrylics. My second serious attempt at acrylic painting and I realized my strokes aren't smooth yet. Its probably going to be a while for me to get used to acrylics. Its fun nevertheless :)!

Peacock

I delayed my this week's 'theme art' by a day and wanted to compensate by posting two paintings this week. This ones just a recreation of http://goo.gl/zmu88. I think the day I told HK that I was going to start updating my blog regularly with paintings if not writings, she sent me this and said she wants me to make one for her.

Though its a little too late, I finally made it and gave it to her :)! The colours definitely look brighter in the original one, but quite happy with this one too.

Happiness!

This week's theme was 'happiness'. It was my turn to come up with a theme and happiness was something HK had suggested a couple of weeks back, used it this time!

I started with things that come to my mind with the word happiness...balloons, then flowers, leaves, a heart hidden somewhere and finally ended up with just a super medley of colours!!! And yes colours do make me happy :D! This is my second attempt at acrylics and the brush strokes are still a little shaky. Nevertheless posting it since it also makes me happy that this is my first ever shot at a canvas!
