The Bridge

By the River

This was my first try with the new pastels.

The moment I got them, the first thing I painted was this small hut, the blue sky and the river :)

I think this theme has been closest to my heart since childhood. Although the mountains are missing and the hut looks a bit shattered (I was in a hurry to complete it), I felt too happy to have a feel of these smooth pastel colors. Pelikan pastels are the best.

Setting Sun

One of the beautiful moods of nature captured with crayons.

I saw an old box of pastel colors in a kutti (small) stationary shop in Thippasandra market lying unwanted. Found it affordable as it was a very old set and hence the price tag was also not affected by inflation :)

The colors were one of the smoothest pastels I have ever used. I was craving to see their effect and chose this photo to paint which was clicked in the deserts of Rajasthan. Well to add to it, I feel to watch the setting sun in Rajasthan is one of the most mesmerizing moment

The Dawn

After a tiring day at office, I wanted to let the bright colours on paper fight the dullness of the mind.

Although could not suceed much as mind did reflect itself in the darker shades but the desire for brightness had also shown itself in form of the colorful rays of sunlight.

Buddha Leaves

This painting helped me take a step into the world where my  internal calling for painting can also give me a career. This is the first painting which I designed and posted on etsy.com for sale. I seek Buddha's blessings for the success of this new endeavour. I am going professional now :)
