Pod of Love !

Hey all my friends of the big blogging world
I love you all



                                                              your visit makes my day
                                                       your lovely notes and comments 
make my heart smile



your words boost my spirits up
with you I can be what I am
and say what I want to say




                                                       So my dear dear friends thanks...
                                                  thanks for being an inseparable part of my life !




Recently I read a quote by Buddha which said 

"You yourself as much as
anybody in the entire universe,deserve your love and affection. "

So do remember to Love Yourself ...   
embrace yourself for what you are
and shine on :)

You are meant to make an impact !





Are you wondering what this is?
Well this was a seed pod 
which I picked while on my morning walk
I brought it home and opened it to have a look inside...
the seeds fell down.

While my fingers were engaged in playing with the pod
I just happened to put it down in a shape which resembled
a valentine :)
and so thrilled was I that I called it my "Pod of Love"

I am painting it red and gold and my creative juices
are giving me ideas...

Do you have any?



For this "Pod of Love I am loving myself "

    
Sharing my "Pod of Love" with PPF,APR,IA and MOM

    The pod looks awesome and the painting looks serene and, I should say, reminds me a bit of you.
    Ritu, you may really like Gitanjali Rao's short film I have on my latest post. I have a link on there. Matchbox covers I find on your background too. Would love to know your reactions.

    You have such a beautiful way of using colours on your paintings, like no-one else I have seen before. So very talented, and such a peaceful, serene face.
    The serendipity of the pod heart has created an unusual valentine for the APR challenge, natural and organic.
    I enjoyed the post and the quotes from Buddha that you have used. A very peaceful post to read - with relaxing music too!

    Your art work is lovely - and the idea of just being to pick seed pods like that is an exotic one to me here in the UK! :)

    I believe you captured the feeling of self acceptance in Buddah's teaching, with the gentle smile in the portrait and the soft color palette. I love what you did with the pod too. Blessings!

    Thank you Ritu!

    This is beautiful! Can I borrow it? Or link to it from my blog? Then I can be lifted in spirit whenever I feel down.

    Love your golden red seed pods!!!

    Thank you for kind words on my blog! I actually have little time and possibility to work with clay, I just took the opportunity.

    Love from Ilona :-)

    Such a beautiful, colorful painting. Those wise words are music to our ears! Unless we love ourselves, we cannot possibly love others. And without love for others, the world would be a very sad place.
