Welcoming Elephants

In Indian mythology Elephant is one of the significant animal. In Sankrit it is called Gaja and it depicts number of positive attributes, including abundance, fertility and richness; boldness and strength; and wisdom and royalty. It has been said that Lord Shiva unknowingly killed Ganesha, who was guarding at door and later lord Shiva had to replace Ganesha's head with Elephant as he could not find the original skull. 

In hinduisum, Lord Ganesha is the God of Good Luck and Auspiciousness and is the Dispeller of problems and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the God of wisdom, wealth, health, celibacy, fertility and happiness.

30 Paintings in 30 days:

A Begining and end of each year always bring a feeling of renewed hope, a desire to 

change the things and a time to let go, time to chill with friends and family and to cherish the great moments of the year that just passed and time to make some future plans to make coming year successful !

For year 2015 I was also looking for something different to begin with and then this amazing opportunity blossomed through http://30paintingsin30days.weebly.com/

My goal for 2015 is to make time to paint every day, so starting a new year with this new exciting challenge. I am nervous, excited as well as trilled as I never did it before. Some of my artist friends are doing this successfully and I was also thinking to do it since long but since I am mostly in Realism, it is quite hard for me to complete one painting in day due to lots of details in the painting as well as due to limited time I have !! So to make it successful I have to change my original style a bit but surely it will give me more opportunity to paint and enjoy the various subjects !

I have several themes in mind but for the time being I will just go with the flow...

Hope it will be a colourful treat to your eyes as well and you will also enjoy this new venture with me, Let's see how this crazy roller coster ride goes !!

Madhubani Painting- Elephants

Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that the Artist has lots of free time but Handmade presents can be a real treasure if it goes in the right hand who admires it ! Glad that the new owner of this one is very happy with the output !

#NLgifts, #ChristmasGift, #NewYearGift idea !

Just Chill....

Just Chill....We, specially youths, use this word every now and then...it might be a sympathising comment to express compassion for their overwhelming budy to supress the anger or irritation and to advise him or her to ' Take it Easy'...but it is useful for all of us in this hectic life although it's not always easy !!

Here in my case, this is the probable name of my new painting started few months back ( ya you read it correctly..few months back :) ). Hope that my painting itself will tell you if the name suits or not. Actually this is a summer painting but I am making it in winter but the theme can be still suitable for Christmas..why?..let's not discuss it..you will realize by your own. This painting is also a part of the series of Paintings- Fruits.

Lots of fruits mins ultimately lots of details..specially in Realism and it is time consuming too! So let's see how it goes !

I aim to show you the progress of the work piece by piece and I will wait for your inputs. Do not hesitate to comment if you find something odd in it. We all can learn this way..and offcourse I would love to receive some alternative names for this painting from you as well.

You can comment either here on the blog or by sending e-mail to vibgyorfinearts@exto.nl

So Just Chill and enjoy the journey, here are first few photos:

Regards,

Blossom in Autumn

60X90 cm

These sort of textured paintings look dramatic if focused with special light effects.

सोनेरी किरणांची झालर लेवून
तू माझ्या खिडकीत डोकावत होतास
कोजागिरीच्या चांदण्यात
मला नाहून टाकत होतास

घट्ट मिटत्या काळोखात
छटा माझ्या आजमावत होतास
तुझे चित्र साकारण्यात
दिवस माझा सरत होता

रोज निराळ्या पिवळ्या रंगाचा
रंग मला उमगत होता
तरीही माझ्या पटावर तू
काही केल्या उमटत नव्हतास

कारण…. बहुदा…
शरदातील त्या पानगळीचा
मला कधीच अडसर नव्हता
माझ्या दारच्या पळसाला
सतत तोच बहर होता…
