Be Simple to be Great...

Telugu Simplicity - Watercolors on Paper

Simplicity is the ultimate beauty in life. Be simple, lead a simple life. Start each day like a beginner. Keep learning, learn from mistakes, get better and turn everyday into a perfect day.

"There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth." - Leo Tolstoy

Travel back in time with memories...

Statue at NewPort Mansions
Watercolors on Paper

When I visited Newport Mansions, Rhode Island this summer, a bare-breasted woman statue found in Rose Garden of Rosecliff Mansion caught my attention. This painting is based on a picture I took. The mansions are filled with stunning Sculptures, beautiful Paintings and wonderful Art works. Rich people who got those mansions built truly had a sense for Art and they lived their full life in those mansions with nothing but Art and beautiful Nature around them.

This statue of a woman is located in Rose Garden outside Rosecliff Mansion. I am not sure how many people passing by on the way to the beautiful ocean-front back yard stop by at this statue to admire the beautiful sculpture work. It was really stunning!

I am glad I seized the moment of my admiration of this beautiful statue in my own painting now.

"Time moves in one direction, memory in another." - William Gibson

Put memories into your works and travel back in time. Keep Painting!

Seek the light inside you...

Woman in Dark - Watercolors on Paper

Unless you seek, you won't find the light inside you. Let the darkness around you help in finding the best of you. The best of you only comes out in darkness. Even starts can't shine without darkness. Walk with your passion and let it glow you like a start in the darkness.

"Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in light." - Helen Keller

Keep Painting! Keep finding the light inside you and glow with it!!

Attempt to advance...

Portrait of a beautiful woman - Watercolors on Paper

In order to advance in anything, you should continue doing it. Each attempt advances you towards the goal you set to yourself. So, set a goal and make sincere and unlimited attempts to advance more and more towards the goal.

"One does not advance the swimming abilities of ducks by throwing the eggs in the water." -Multatuli (pen name of Eduard Douwes Dekker), novelist (2 Mar 1820-1887)

Keep Painting and Keep Advancing!

Make Sincere attempts...

Windy - Watercolors on Paper

In order to succeed, one has to make a sincere attempt first. The more you attempt, the more you succeed than you fail. A failure is also an attempt towards success. You measure your own success, do not let others measure. Enjoy the result of each sincere attempt, failure or success, it doesn't matter actually.

"A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do." - Bob Dylan, singer-songwriter

Keep Painting!
