Posting this post nearly after 2 and half years. Was busy with my little one who have turned 3 years last month. So was almost on a break. Not that I did not do anything. To be honest yes, did not do much on art and craft. Made a painting on canvas, which was spoiled by my little one while I was giving a finishing touch. She wanted to paint on the same canvas while I was away to attend a phone call and when I come back and to my surprise the canvas was filled with all different colors.  So BOOOOOOM...... it goes. So decided that will not leave my painting book anywhere here and there.....

Completed this painting some days back. Almost took 2 months to complete. Used to do when the little one is off to sleep which is always after 11.30 PM - 12.00 and then you are so tired to do anything.  Better late then never.

So I will try to be regular with my postings. Lets see  how regular. :-)




This painting was inspired by Trishla Jain. I have attended her exhibition in Mumbai in February 2012. Her art is very colourful & vibrant. Loved every bit of the exhibition. While I was browsing thru her art work along with my friend we came across many celebrities. Among them were Neeta Ambani, Sunil Shetty, Akshay Kumar.




This is my original work inspired by Trishla. I have named this painting as Seven Sins. All the seven sins are mentioned in painting. Do check out....



Do give me feedback.

Abstract art can be a painting or sculpture that does not depict a person, place or thing in the natural world. The Abstract art is a collection of meaningless shapes and colors thrown onto a canvas. In such art the viewer interprets its meaning for him/herself. It can be a test of someone’s interpretation skills.

Abstract art is non-objective, non-representational, and nonfigurative. Abstract art is one without a recognizable subject, one which doesn't relate to anything external or try to "look like" something. Instead the colour and form is the subject of the abstract painting.

This form of art is Non realistic. Like any other traditional art where the artist visualizes what he / she wants to capture, in this art form there is no intentional visualization. The artist may start creating artwork without realizing the end result. This kind of art can be perceived in many ways depending on the interpersonal skills / creativity of the viewer. Many a times the audience is not able to understand what the artist is trying to convey. It is up to the viewer to perceive in their own way. 

I wanted to create a   Funky Abstract Style with bold colours, bright shapes and intricate designs! The shape was created spontaneously. I then painted in various shapes, one color at a time. For instance, first I painted in all the yellow shapes. Then all the orange shapes, then dark pink, light pink, etc.





I strive to create a balanced variety of shapes and colors. The idea is that the different shapes and placement of colors will cause the viewer's eyes to bounce around the canvas. In this way I seek to create a sense of movement and energy in this funky artwork. So I continue painting in these shapes until the white canvas is entirely covered.




The repetitive designs start to form funky, sometimes intricate patterns. There are many different shapes and colors, but there is an overall feeling of balance and harmony. I named this Painting as Teenager. A teenager is a confluence of passion, emotion, feelings, and distractions.  A teenager keeps questioning and is always mysterious about the future.  Aggression in teenager is represented in the red border. Red is associated with aggression. When I started this painting I was unaware of the end result.




After thinking a lot I decided to do Warli Painting. I started with the rough draft of the painting and thought I can complete it in a day or two. But I took almost 5 days to complete this painting. Of course during my spare time. Medium used is canvas, spray paint & Acrylic paint.




I am seriously planning to keep up to my promise of blogging regularly. 

Glass paintings are popular artifacts. It involves the use of vibrant synthetic colors on glass as a base. The overall appeal of glass and semi-transparent paints together provide an ethereal look. Glass painting is a drawing painted on the inside surface of transparent glass, executed with oil and hard resin or with watercolor and gum on glass sheets. The effect is one of stunning clarity and rich color ideally serving as a connoisseur's delight.

I have made these paintings few years back and these are hung in my corridor.



Its been ages that I have posted anything. There is lot to talk about. I have attended a Indiblogger meet at Trident.  The meet was organized by Stayfree, UNICEF and Indiblogger. The meet was for the women bloggers only. The meet  was about Women for change.This was my first blogger meet.  The meet was very interesting and insightful. 

Coming back I have decided to be regular on my blog. I do have lots of creative work to talk about but somehow not able to find time to write and post. I have made this paining 2-3 years back. I have made this on canvas using oil paint.




Hope your weekend will be a very special and fun filled one.
Have a great weekend ahead and stay creative friends!!!



Warli Paintings are indigenous of Maharashtra. The word “Warli” come from the word “warla” which means the piece of land. Warli is the name of the biggest tribe found on the Northern outskirts of Mumbai.

Warli Paintings tradition of stretching goes back to 2500 or 3000 BC. Warli paintings are extremely rudimentary wall paintings. They use a very basic graphic vocabulary like a circle, a triangle and a square. 


Earlier Warli painting used to be etched out on walls of Warli houses, but nowadays, they are being painted on paper, vases, mugs, bedsheets, apparel too. This art is pretty popular all over India and the world as well. Simple and aesthetic in appeal.

Our country is rich in creativity and each region had its own art form. We see the example of phulkari in Punjab, warli in Gujarat, chikan embroidery in Lucknow, weaving in the North-east, kantha in Bengal, miniature paintings in the state of Rajasthan, kethari, sujani and of course mithila paintings in the Mithila region of Bihar.
Madhubani painting also known as Mithila painting is an art form originated from Bihar. The women decorates their homes with this art form on walls, floors, canvas. They normally use natural and vegetable colours.
Vegetable colors are used making use of natural resources. For eg
  • Black – By blending soot and cow dung
  • Yellow - From turmeric, pollen, lime, milk of banyan leaves,
  • Blue -Indigo
  • Red - Kusam flower juice or red sandalwood
  • Green - wood apple tree leaves
  • White - Rice powder
  • Orange - Palasha flowers
Madhubani paintings add a dash of vibrancy in the room and enhance its appeal when used as home décor item.
I want to learn / try all the art forms of our country. This painting is created on handmade paper (one of the things to learn is to make handmade paper) and water colours.   



In his first incarnation, Vishnu has the lower part of the body like that of the fish (Matsaya) and the upper part like that of a man. He has four arms; with two he holds a conch shell & a wheel. While the other two are holding a lotus or a mace or are in the protection and boon giving modes.


Tree  represents  life and slow and steady growth. The painting is on a canvas and  the growth of this tree was also slow and steady. It took me sometime to bring this peice on a canvas though it looks too simple.

Have used only two colours.
