tri-color paintings

More canvas paintings - But using 3 colors only - RED, BLACK & WHITE - 
"Black & White" the most common & impressive combination. But nothing blends in better than 'Red' which adds its richness and color to form this super-impressive trio.

Abstract painting - warm to cool

Abstract Painting

Thought of painting something different and more colorful. I remembered, how we drew abstract paintings back in school and then I thought why not take it next step further, with a theme.
So with this one, I wanted to capture the warm & cool colors in one painting.

I created another one, inspired from a peacock's feather

Kiss in the moonlight

Kiss in the moonlight!
                                                                                                                                            

One of the most romantic moments - Open fields, night sky with twinkling stars and the bright moonlight and the perfect time to kiss! :)

This one is dedicated to my husband and all couples out there! 

Art from waste!

Art from waste: I have always been a big fan of art made out of waste materials. In the past I have used empty cartons, thick sheets of paper, magazines, etc to create something useful like pen-stand or greeting card holder or just beautiful wreaths & wall-hangings. One more entry to the list of waste items is the kitchen roll, bathroom roll (the cylindrical roll left over after the tissue is used up). I just love this one as there is so much that can be done with these rolls. Just google "bathroom-roll art" and you will be amazed to see how these rolls can be used to make a variety of beautiful and useful art-works. 

Quilling with a twist!

Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. 
I started quilling few months back and since then I have found this art more and more interesting. I started off with traditional thin strips that are readily available in the market but have moved on to a little different version now. Few  weeks before Valentine's day I decided to make heart-shaped frame using different tones of pink and red strips. But I couldn't get the specific colors of strips. When I was about to leave the store with disappointment, I saw a section of papers with almost all possible shades. And I picked up the ones I was looking for, cut them into strips (thicker than standard strips) and started off my project. :)

Valentine's day special!!

Since then, I prefer buying sheets of paper instead of quilling strips. Created a couple of more frames & wall-hangings using the art of quilling.

My first attempt at 'Acrylic on canvas' painting

Day & Night

My first attempt at 'Acrylic on canvas' painting : Finally, after being scared of experimenting & playing with colors, mustered up some strength to explore a whole new stream of painting "Acrylic on Canvas"!! 

I have always been inspired by nature and its beauty and especially, the trees.. I am sure going ahead in future there will be many more paintings with trees and hopefully, more colors.
