Sound o Music

anyway..
this was again one o our open canvas event.

Walk ,dont Run..

Lush

Quick Impression

This is from memory,It was a long drive down to Malwan.Enjoyed a short holiday with kids on the beach ,snorkeling and boat rides.Probably next time I will be able to paint.

Another Open Canvas..

Open canvas is what we call our this activity.There was live music going on .Derek Julian improvising on his guitar and we six artists painted six canvases enjoying his music.
The idea is ..I had a very uncertain image of what I wanted to do and as the music started I want to let the music dictate the colors and strokes..on the other hand Derek was improvising looking at the canvas being painted.It wasn't meant to find any parallel between the two mediums but to just get inspired by each other. As for me it was Euphoria defined..

column House

Transparent body and opaque topping..sometimes works.

open canvas

the Red

I fiddled with a "crop" from an old photo in photoshop.
Saturation level increased to extreme right and

Mendh-pal

Bike

this was parked in the courtyard of a building .you can see one tree still standing in between the 4 concrete walls constraining it from 4 sides.
A little shower makes a huge difference..in fact all the difference.
My studio is up there in the same building

Coffeeday

What am I trying to do here,what is my focus and the visual statement..a desire to paint loose and abstract..pleasing large audience..painting light......coffee.. or..just shutpnpaint..

Sunset

I don't usually paint sunsets,whenever I tried somehow painting looks too melodramatic for my liking .This one mix media ,I am quiet happy with the look..what say..

examination point

we usually have our last day session of my workshop at this spot.A nice corner opp University building ,lot of us can sit together and paint.This is usually the outdoor session of my watercolor course and I insist students to work without looking at what I am doing.a sort of exam for them
coincidentally the building we paint happens to be a corner of exam department of Univ.
the paper used here is montval which is bad, slippery paper made for watercolor.the bad paper sometimes challenges to bring the better in you.

Deserted or peaceful

Manali Roofs

"faithfulness in emotional life and consistency in a life of an intellectual is one and the same thing
a confession of failure."
Oscar Wild character Lord Henry says something like this. A consistently great quality and wins can be a management virtues but in art you have to be a "loos"er from time to time to go further..
