In Between A Big Move

There has been a long silence from my end and undeniably all of a sudden. It was so necessary, I assure it. I was in between an unexpected move from Dubai to Palakkad, Kerala; my hometown. It was both a glad and a sad decision, at the same time! I miss my good old friends in Dubai and all the arty souls whom I adore and ARTE where I exhibit once in a while. All the same I am pleased to be with my parents and meet my school-college friends and all the pleasantries associated with it. My daughter is never tired of enjoying and exploring the 'outside world' after remaining in the 'confines' for a long time. The saddest part is she misses her Dad a lot; every day, every moment!!!

I haven't been able to engage in arty work since I arrived here. It would take another couple of weeks to get into that 'self-searching' and 'soul-stirring' lane; at the least 'get-inspired' mode!

I have been in between searching an appropriate school, taking admission, running errands for various other things, meeting people, making a new visiting card etc etc etc. I love my colony environment which I feel is a world in itself; with advantages and disadvantages :) I had some Great time being an audience of a few captivating performances...giving you all a glimpse of the Music and Arts Festival held at Puthur Bhagavathy Temple during April.

 

A performance that has to be seen to believe it...Fantabulous duo; one excelling the other! The feeling that Remaji imparted and evoked is indescribable...Fab Performance!

There are even more wonderful pictures of varied and colourful events...will post it in my next post.



Adieu for now :)
Take Care Folks!

Mural Lakshmi

There were days when I used to engage in artistic activities when I feel inspired...now-a-days, since the past two years I have been creating art almost daily...it has become a necessity; unless and until I am sick or something. It is a part of me I can not separate and I enjoy it a great deal. Also I wish to know and learn more...a sort of craving, a yearning...about art, artists anything and everything related to art from nooks and corners of every bit of the world. I just can't stop feeling it! What interests you? Does this strike a chord  with you???

It is not every week that I take part in IF but this is something I cherish each week. I do think about it and draw it in my mind's canvas but it's only a rare chance that I really get down to do it and draw it for real.

Madhubani Lakshmi

Taking Madhubani a step further and trying it out on glass felt good.... I liked the effect of it the lines and paints and the color that got added in it. To give an extra Oomph, I used stones and sequins and I am pleased with the result. What do you think?
