Falling Emotiions (Autumn) - My First Impasto Knife Painting

Time is a healing factor. Also, time is a learning factor. It is almost a week and my pain levels are little under control. Though, I do not feel the same way as it was till last Tuesday (:. But I guess God is there to take care of my life for me ;). I spoke to my art teacher and as a process of selection, I was assigned the task to study and make a sample painting. You can view the painting at this link - http://archanaartgallery.blogspot.in/2013/06/impasto-knife-painting-falling-emotions.html

I chose Impasto Art Form with Palette Knife using Acrylic Paints (Link - to know more about Impasto - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impasto). The best of the Impasto paintings are the ones painted by Leonid Afremov. It was the first painting I saw in 2011 at my teacher's residence in Hyderabad. It was one of the favourite of my husband and a friend. His painting - When Dream Comes True is a true reflection of wonderful colours. Last one week, I read about Impasto Art Form and watched many videos. I took the concept using Acrylic Paints. My teacher had loved my work and I am selected :). 

Impasto looks beautiful when you see it from a distance.

I have named my painting as 'Falling Emotions'. Impasto is a spread of colours and I used knife to paint the trees with leaves representing emotions. Autumn represents falling of leaves as one can see around the trees. Impasto mainly highlights the knife strokes in an unsmooth manner as one can see in this painting. As a challenge, I chose butter knife rather than a palette knife to experiment a different texture. The two trees are reflection of friendship that is bonded by true human emotions. I used all the vibrant colours to give this painting a life. Emotions are well highlighted with the brightness of different colours. I am quite happy with this form of art and I have long way to make many more. Maybe, someday I might reproduce 'When Dreams Come True' or some other masterpiece of Leonid Afremov. I guess art represents our inner voice only!

New Look of 'So You Think You Are Living'......

I am sharing the link to one of my favourite song and hope my readers will like it. Maula sung by Ali Azmat.

I am liking the new look of my blog. It is good to see bright colours as they give us energy and positivity. Sitting on the bed for long is boring but colours make me feel good. I am making a painting and will blog it in a while.

Feel the colour red and just feel the song. Attraction in any relationship is very important to carry it forward just like respect, trust and love.

A New Interface...

From complete bed rest to 80% bed rest, I was reading about different blogger interfaces. I made it a private blog for an hour to give my blog a new look. I have lot more changes to be implemented in the coming few days. I need time to read and use the appropriate features.

I am also changing the interface of my Arthritis Blog so it will be inactive for a while.

I chose this interface as 'red' always attract me. It is a color of love, strength and success. It is a colour of energy. I am too late to share last month's stats. We had almost 831 hits.

Due to technical problems, I am not able to share the image file.

On Complete Bed Rest(:

I just slipped from treadmill as my blood pressure dropped. I just could not move . I did not realise what happened until I was taken to the hospital and the diagnosis showed  the need of complete bed rest. No movement for some days. It is my daughter's birthday and it feels bad as I planned to make cup brownie and kheer for the day. I have hurt my back at the same point where it got injured in 2006 in an accident while travelling to office.

I have so much pain that I cannot get up or move so I will pray for my daughter until I meet her on 5th July in Hyderabad, if I recover quickly.

Complete bed rest, no movement other using a rest room is such a tough job. It is late at night and I thought to read a book.

It is hard to rest for a person like me. I miss my baby doll today. (:...I just cancelled my chocolate making classes for this weekend. My all plans are postponed until I can sit and get better.....

A Gift for my daughter!

My daughter's birthday is coming. While painting this canvas, I was constantly thinking about Sphoorti and all the children at Sphoorti. I name this painting as 'Sanjana'.

Unconditional Love - latest post in FG.

My friend told me that I am unhappy as things did not happened the way I wanted, and it really hurts when that was the last time you conversed with a friend. At times, life does not give a chance to tell that my friendship for my friend was unconditional. Any relationship is beautiful when it is away and free from terms and conditions. I never wanted anything from my friend. It was more hurtful when after doing so much and being truthful, you are judged as if you had some personal interests in being friends with him or her.

Let us start this month on a note to live relations and friendship without any terms and conditions. Let the people in our life feel their true worth, and let us live the friendship beautifully.

Yesterday's post in FG is a poem about unconditional love. My readers can read me my poem at the link below:
