That day I was alone roaming around in the city, passing by the colourful flower market of Muntplein. Suddenly I noticed Several Chinese Lantern which were hanging there in the flower shop, creating a beautiful orange roof. I could not stop myself from buying it impulsively. It was a difficult task to keep these branches safe in the public transport. As soon as I reached home I kept these babies in the most beautiful vase I have.  For quite a long time these branches keep decorating our house, sitting quietly in the Vase and taking my attention every now and then. 

One day in a very dull, dark and rainy day, when all the options of going out were of no use, these delicate orange buds of Chinese Lantern tried their luck to grab my attention. So I thought to work on my photography skills. That dull cloudy day was lucky enough to create an atmosphere and giving results of light and shadows. To take a bright photo I just used one blue scarf which was lying there since several days. As I always find Glass tempting I just used the petty dish which we use to lit the 'Diya' to our god. Since our god is very adjustable he did not utter a word when we use his own property. All the set-up, my macro lens and camera was ready to take few photos.

I took photo from every angle and was satisfied with the result but when I took the photo of these Three delicate Chinese Lantern I did not know that I might use it later as a reference photo for my upcoming painting but the two bright colours Blue & Orange were successful enough to keep me engaged. I looked at the photo several times and I find it tempting. Suddenly one day, I decided to start this painting. I made come changes while making this painting but I tried to keep the main setup and colours same, as far as possible. I spent around 20-24 hours to work on this painting, Painting it in several layers, thinking about every minute details is a difficult part of every painting so I can not say that I am fully satisfied with the result.  Actually I am never satisfied with most of my work and that helps me to keep going untill I get what I want, which again I never get and so I never stop trying hard :)

Recently, I got an opportunity to display this work for around one month in a group exhibition in The Netherlands and it has been reviewed by many art-lovers. 

Do tell me what you like / dislike in this work. I am ready to take your criticism in correct way, it will surely help me to improve further and develop my hobby.

Thanks & best regards,
Shilpa

Life is fragile , what we have today will not last forever. Beauty, wealth and health everything will diminish with the time...what remains in our hand is to feel & share the love & light whenever we come across it! Is this tulips and the droplets conveying same thing ??

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:

Blossom in Autumn- Acrylic Painting

Here is the Sneak peek of one of my Latest Painting which you can easily co-relate with current season Autumn of europe...but wait ! why the tree is bloomed, has so many flowers and also has dried leaves unserneath (not visible in this sneek peek, contact me if you want to see whole painting) in this dull rainy season..strange right!? 

Yes that is because my eyes see this Autumn differently....how?? then read and understand the  following poem ( in marathi )....

Key Features:
Mixed Media Acrylic Painting
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…

Info about OM:
Om or Aum is of paramount importance in Hinduism. This symbol is a sacred syllable representing Brahman, the impersonal Absolute of Hinduism.

Om represents both the unmanifest (nirguna) and manifest (saguna) aspects of God. That is why it is called pranava, to mean that it pervades life and runs through our prana or breath.

If repeated with the correct intonation, it can resonate throughout the body so that the sound penetrates to the centre of one's being, the atman or soul.

There is harmony, peace and bliss in this simple but deeply philosophical sound. By vibrating the sacred syllable Om, the supreme combination of letters, if one thinks of the Ultimate Personality of Godhead and quits his body, he will certainly reach the highest state of "stateless" eternity, states the Bhagavad Gita.
