• Art : Reflections

  

  I’ve been trying to paint using a limited palette. This is my second painting in the limited palette series. I call it ‘Reflections’. The painting is based on a photograph.

• Art: Dirt roads – Beauty in everyday things

  

  There is a beauty in the little things like flowers growing out of crevices of walls, in fallen leaves and in clear water puddles. Maybe its the contrast of the glassy surface of the water against the roughness of the road that comforts the soul. After two pencil shadings and a failed attempt at a…
