Zebra Stripes All the Way

It was a 'stripey'day; I painted three zebras!Actually I had so much fun with the first one, I went to paint more.These zebras are very exciting,so different from other animals.I could play and play with the stripes endlessly.Hope you like them,too.

Blue

8" x 8"

Now,a blue cow :) Art is like therapy to me, helps alleviate my mood when I am feeling blue...the day was stressful, my mind full of doubt, fears of having made some wrong decisions- but since I could not change that in any way, I painted.And painted... already feeling better!

Happy Together....

Watercolor on Paper

A fun piece in loose style watercolor.I saw this couple resting on a bench in our local market May be they were tired after shopping or just enjoying the sun. I changed the background and shifted them to a park to avoid a parked car and a shopfront behind them :)

Hope your preparations for Christmas are going in full swing.

I received my package of art material this afternoon from Ken Bromley.I have ordered Arches paper for the first time; it is so expensive!Can't wait to try it.

Little Girl and the Butterfly

This is my niece, a chirpy ten year old. She has a shy smile that I love to bring out on paper.I have tried working in layers on her face this time, hoping to achieve the right skin tone-but  the choice of colors for the butterfly went wrong, as it now seems merged with the wall...should have used lighter colors on it :(
