Daybreak!

It feels like not so long ago when I was sitting in class in my neatly tied up pigtails learning about the 18th and 19th century, and I imagined how it would feel to be a part of the 21st century which at that point in time seemed so far far away; almost like a whole new era....

But before I knew it not only did I waltz into Y2K, but I even watched a whole decade fly by. WOW! That makes me feel pretty nostalgic!

Hmm.. and what has all this to do with my creative side? - you should ask. Well, for those among you who did run that thought in your head, sorry to disappoint you, but there isn't much of a connection. Just a bunch of emotions the new year has thrown in.

Although, I admit, there are two obvious lessons learnt here: Lesson #1 - time flies, and Lesson #2 - "Little did she know (at that time)..." :-)

Hence, before time plays another trick on me ... it's time for me to get my work do the talking. I need to get the artist inside, outside (literally)!

The idea I share with you is an abstract one, different from what I have tried up untill now. I call it 'Daybreak' as it carries the vibrance from a sunny mix of colours and that coupled with the dry flowers giving the 3D effect brings out a warmth inspiring a different beginning... (I think I need to try out a couple more of these!!! This time with ornaments! what do you think??)

These different strokes does give me the confidence of continuing to attempt many more variations in my work.

Now, as a connoisseur of art that's what we all love to be a part of, don't we?  :-)

Your strokes are really amazing Shilpa! You have an amazing talent. Cultivate it. You know what they say...if you have a creative streak then you should cultivate it...9 to 5 jobs are for us, lesser mortals:) hehehe...

Your color combination is really nice and very pleasing.

Painting, knitting, jewellery design, blogging…so what else can you do? The list seems long.

All the best!
