• Art: The Yellow Car

  

  Having attended the art exhibition in Dhaka, I felt a desperate itch to do a piece of art myself. As I hadn’t done a watercolor since September 2022 and I wanted to get my hands moving , that’s what I decided to do. Here’s my first painting of 2023- a watercolour painting on an A4…

• Art: Imperfectly perfect

  

  This is my second oil painting. I call it ‘Imperfectly perfect’ – the image is inspired by a painting I saw on Pinterest. With this painting done, I want to go back to drawing and shading. I think it’s important every once in a while ( once a year or 6 months) to practice sketching…

• Art: Sunshine in my vase

  

  ‘Sunshine in my vase’ is an inspired watercolour painting done on A4 size paper. I loved how it turned out. Painting these yellow flowers lifted my spirits at a time when I needed to be positive. I painted this just before my short stint at the hospital. It helped me through the waiting time- waiting…
