A Painting Day

Yes... I had a painting day after a longg longg time... It seems like ages before that I have drawn something.  All credit to my husband... He brought me a canvas book. I actually never knew such a thing exists until I came across one in Staples. Its is a book  with canvas sheets. It has about 10 canvas sheets and is much cheaper compared to the framed canvases that you get. The amazing part is that now I can draw as my heart desires. Generally whenever I buy a new canvas...I'll always be in a dilemma  What to draw? How to draw - All back, color, knife painting ?... Will it turn out good???.... Good lord  !!!... I just spilled black paint on the  drawing...Its ruined !! So most of the times by the time I am done with the painting..I'll be exhausted... But not this time... I whipped up the drawing in like less than 45 min.. I was just standing there splashing colors here and there....:) It felt good.  Have you seen my other paintings??? Not yet... ??? Do check out my painting section ...and drop in your suggestions and comments... Here's the link :http://nichuspace.blogspot.in/p/paintings.html That's the very serious me...

A Journey of a Canvas

Yeah I know a weird title.... A journey of a canvas and that's exactly what I am going to share with you today. I had an unfinished painting at home for almost an year now. I started off very excited about painting this new idea I had in mind... But somehow did'nt materialize the way I wanted it to be. It was basically a bunch of flowers in a jug sitting by the window. Everything came up well except for the jug of water. It looked awkward... I kept trying and It didn't come out well... Finally after one year... I decided I had to put this painting to good use... and one frustrated afternoon,I grabbed a swab of black paint and wrote a quote over it in BIG BOLD LETTERS.... I completely ruined the stuff... Although the quote goes as follows "Things are never quite as scary when you have a best friend"...  it was a scary piece of work... ha haa... I know its sounds familiar isn't it - the quote. Yes it from Bill Waterson's Calvin & Hobbes comics... I simply loves those too... My fav... I always end up laughing at the same joke that I have read over a hundred times...
Well My Canvas...yeah.... My hubby came home in the evening and there it was right in front of him in the hall a not so great painting destroyed by quote that was painted over it soo badly.... He was very unhappy.... If this is called ART... he said you shouldn't be drawing.... ehhh .... that was you know made me feel bad....
Well so my next thought was what to do next.... One fine evening we dropped by a art shop and picked up a cobalt blue paint and metallic blue spray paint. I have never worked with spray paint before. I had already experimented so much on this particular canvas that I didn't bother to ruin it once again. So i got down to work next day in search of a perfect set of leaves which would be my inspiration to the next new painting.....
I found them right around my house. and this is what i ended up with .... follow along and let me how you like it... do you think the first painting was a better one??? let me know...

Random Vibes !

Inspired by Wendy at Living Creatively I drew this... Random Vibes !!!
Its only now I realised there are sooo many things in and around you which deserve to be drawn.... Works of art hidden in everything...from a door knob to a ragged piece of fabric... One just needs to open up to appreciate them... Once you do that you'll begin to see everything around you in a new light... It'll make you happy...

 

Signing off with a thought that's so very true

Captured a moment onto a paper

Was just lying down on my bed looking outside... Thinking about something that I dont remember anymore. Just then something caught my attention... A small butterfly fluttering around. Thats when for the first time in all these years I noticed I had such a wonderful view of nature. I Just had to look outside to appreciate the wonder that god has created for us... And a small butterfly helped me see it. I couldnt let go that moment. I ran and grabbed a paper and pen and captured that moment into that scrap of paper !

Painted Zipped Pouches

Yes... I have still not let go of my urge to stitch and I just completed stitching two new pouches.Yes one from an old jeans and another from an old trouser.. Do you want to see how it looks like??? Here you go...
And yeah I clicked all these photos from my papa's new iPhone 4S :) I just loved that device...

It was a plain looking pouch. until I added a dash of paint to it. And here is the final product...

Do you like them??? I just loved making these... Planning on making a few more since they are in high demand by my cousins :)
