Memories

Living away from family and home-town brings in many memories that we always cherish,
and after my last trip to my home I always wish I can go back to the place I belong to..

You always miss your home, no matter where-ever you are.

Indeed I live here with my husband and daughter, but I always miss my home, my home-town, the place where I am belong to..

My last trip home was special, and will always be. I enjoyed my most of the time with nature, beautiful mornings and singing birds..

And my this painting is about them only!

Sunrise from our building - I think I have never seen Rising Sun before.. So beautiful and calm..

How lucky I was, that I met these beautiful birds almost every morning. 

I am not a morning person but those days, I never mind to wake up at 5 AM. Its just I wanted to see them singing, flying and having fun on this beautiful Indian Coral tree.

It was March and this beautiful tree was blooming. Gorgeous red flowers and my beautiful green birds, what an awesome color combination.

After coming back, when I gathered all these memories, they inspired me to create this painting.

Memories - Acrylics on 5 in x 7 in Canvas.

I took 2 days but I was not able to think any other name for this one. 

It has all those moments that I'll cherish life-time, feelings that can never be express. Those beautiful mornings, Blooming red flower tree and singing bird.
My dear Parakeet I wish I could hear your songs every morning..

Hope you like my work!

Have a great day!

Self Portrait - Rachana

I must admit that I took such a long time to share my this painting.

May be I was little scared to share it...

Today I am sharing the painting I completed with so many patience and so many great attempts.

Every artist would try to make self portrait at-least once , and this was my third attempt. 

Rachana - Self Portrait - Acrylics on 8 x 12 Canvas

I never thought to make self-portrait until I took my this picture for Mitti Design's  Zumka earrings collection..

As I mentioned earlier, I always wanted to make my portrait, but every time I ended up mt thoughts
after making sketch.. But this time sketch was so perfect and I was so happy to take next step..

Sharing picture of initial sketch.

I always had fear of spoiling it, so I didn't add any extra things in it. I just wanted to make it perfect.. :)
After so many thoughts and lots of patience I finished this painting on the New year's evening.

And took time of some 20 days to finally share it with you all..

 Parakeet was not the part of my initial sketch, but I always had a feeling of something is missing in my work.. And my husband's imagination of Parrot saying something to me, completed my thoughts.

So, how do you like my new painting?

Don't forget to Leave your comments -  share your thoughts with me, to improve my work.

Thanks for visiting. 

Sakhi - A dear Friend - The Color version :)

Hello my dear readers!

Things always turn the best with patience..

This is my second painting (I guess) I made with lots of patience..lol... More than 4-5 months.. :)

But that works the best in creating such a great master piece..

Presenting my final painting, My lovely ladies - "Sakhi - A dear friend" in Color :) :)

Experimenting with colors this time.. 

And choosing back-ground was a biggest challenge.

I tried more than 4 colors for it.. finally I fall on Magenta :) 

I love love love this color, it just enhanced its look.. What you think????

Days of Summer !

This painting is inspired by my dream..

Days of summer, Mango tree and lots of birds singing!!

These days I am missing my childhood summer days badly...

Sharing some Lines from my husband's diary...

નથી ભીંજાઉં મને ચોમાસા ના વરસાદ માં,

ભીંજાઈ જવું છે મને ઉનાળા ના તાપ માં.

કોયલ, મોરલા ને પોપટ ના સાદ માં,

આંબે ખીલેલા મહોર ની સુવાસ માં,

ભીંજાઈ જવું છે મને ઉનાળા ના તાપ માં.

New Sketch - Lady with Parrot

Last Sunday was my Baby-shower, 

and I took such a long break for its preparations and now for rest.

No wonder I have been lazy these days :)

In my break time I made this sketch, Lady with Parrot.

Old Hindi movies can be a great source of inspiration some times, Open hair and heavy wind..!!

When Lady and Parrot comes in mind, I remember Dithi's Art..

She makes it the best.. I Love her style..

And for this painting I made her hair like Dithi's "Durga"

Well, lets see when I will work further on this.. 

My first target is to complete Radha-Krishna painting. :)
