A bit of London

I have been thinking that while I am in London, I should paint something of the city.But since I not really good in painting architecture and cityscapes , I was stalling it for quite some time. the 'Eureka!' moment happened yesterday when I was going through my camera pics.I took this picture when we went to the Thames two weeks ago.These musicians were stting under the bridge and playing a lively band!..I took this pic from the bridge above. So, we settle for this!
A little bit of London, surely. If you have been to Thames, you can't miss the artists, musicians, and the funny man Charlie Chaplin ( he is next on my list!) on the walk besides the river. I loved them all.

A day in London

The Trafalgar Square dotted with people enjoying a clear day...

A fine youngman chasing around the pigeons in James Park ..I would have liked a close up but he wouldn't stand still!

Feeding the ducks and ejoying every minute of it...

It is a male Mandarian Duck. They originate from asia ( China, Russia nad Japan),are frequently featured in Oriental art and are regarded as a symbol of conjugal affection and fidelity. A Chinese proverb for loving couples uses the Mandarin Duck as a metaphor: "Two mandarin ducks playing in water".

It was a bright day yesterday --so I decided to venture out with my son. I had a motive, too! The art store near the Trafalgar.! So Trafaga Square it was, with a stroll in nearby James Park . It took me a bit long to locate the store.One wrong turn and we got lost in China Town! Thankfully we came around to find the store after an hour but my son got so bored in the process that he wouldn't let me 'enjoy' the experience! So I had to be fast here and still he complained that I was taking so long! I got some nice watercolors and papers from there and hopefully I am going to put them in good use soon!
And not to forget the National Art Gallery...I took a peek there too --a grand affair. I think it will take a whole day to cover all of it ..

In London

Hi Everybody....I am back, writing this post from London. I am here on a month long vacation and I hope that I would paint and post some paintings and a lot of photographs of this beautiful place! To start with, however I have only two-- one is the rose bush that I saw yesterday in a frontyard of a home while going to the super market, and second is the scene outside my window --its raining ,off and on since morning -- and you can see the rain drops on the window pane. There are a lot of trees in our backyard and I like the the view.

I will be painting something tomorrow, i guess. Goodbye, till then.
