Kick your way to...

"Kick"
Ballpoint Pen on Paper (8.5" x 11") .   

Any given day is yours if you kick it in your way and start it.

It's been a while since I did a drawing with ballpoint pen. No one dislikes going back to childhood. Today, I wanted to take myself into my childhood, especially into my teens when I used to do more realistic free-hand-drawings straight with ballpoint pen. I kept my paints & brushes away and picked a ballpoint pen to take myself into my teens.

Drawing is always fun. Ballpoint pen gives a special joy of fine hand movements that Artists enjoy. Sometimes, in Art, it's good to go back and take shots at some basics. It only makes the foundation stronger.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” ~ Wayne Gretzky

Happy Drawing!
Kick your day, you way!!

The Language of Soul...

You soul is your true self. Know the language of your soul, speak to it, feel it and be with it.
Just be you, be with you and refresh your soul!

Every Painting is a challenge to the Artist. Apart from the usual challenges, the main challenge I had in this painting was to show true age of the girl most probably entering her teens.

"Dance is the hidden language of the soul, of the body." ~ Martha Graham

Happy Painting!

Happy being you!!

Nothing is easy...

Nátyánjali - My tribute to Indian Classical Dance
Watercolors on Paper (11" x 14")    

Nothing is easy and nothing comes free either. The more the efforts, the better the result. Any work that requires skill is always challenging. Ones own skill levels vary depending on the mood and surroundings.

Arches watercolor paper is not my preferred surface, but have been trying on this lately to keep challenging myself on surfaces that I think are harder for me. To make it even harder, I tried it on the reverse side of the paper which is usually not recommended. After all, if everything is so easy, what's the point of doing it again and again. Easy ones are the ones that are routine. Harder ones are the ones that make us learn and grow.

“If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. That’s why they call it artWORK!”

Happy Painting!
Enjoy hard-work!!

Presence in Absence...

"Presence in Absence"   
Watercolors on Paper (13" x 4.5")

Darkness disappears when light appears. Presence of light is the absence of darkness and vice versa. Have your presence even in your absence through your works and through your soul.

Make your Soul grow and glow in what you do!

"In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present."

~ Francis Bacon

Happy Painting!
Happy Soul!!
