1. I am finally able to get back to the blog.
2. I finally, FINALLY (Yayy!!) finished my most meticulous painting till date. Something that had been in the making for almost 2 years now.
I started this painting in the beginning of 2014, when I was picking up my brushes and paint again after a while. Whenever I sat down for it, it always felt like I had completed a sizable amount of work. However, whenever I looked at it after I called it a day, there was always so much left to be done! That I was picking up painting after a big enough break made me nervous and scared that I might spoil it. For a year and half, the girls were faceless, only because I could not pull myself together to add their features.
Finally last week, when it got too boring and exasperating for me to see this unfinished business of mine for so long now, I started again, albeit in bits and pieces. But this 'bits and pieces' part was intentional. It helped me take a look from a distance and get the improvements in place before it was too long.
This is how my baby turned out:
It is a 12" by 16", acrylics on canvas, titled: "Banter".
Working with and on my Sita and Gita for such a long time now, I feel they are family. :)
What I like best about this is that whenever I look at it, I can almost smell 'Mharo Rajasthan' sitting here in Hyderabad. Tells me, that Art was, is and shall always be a unifier.
That, for me is an artist's high!
And getting back to my dearest blog, this for me is my Blogger's High...!!!
