Chase it ?

Artists' Play Room called for sketches and drawings...so here is a sketch from my sketch book which I am going to color soon!

Happiness,they say, is like a butterfly...the more you chase it the more it flies beyond your grasp but if you stop going after it ...sit quietly...it may come down and flutter around your shoulder ...whispering sweet notes:) 

All you need is a little sunshine...open air to breathe in... freedom...love ... some flowers...and happiness will surround you, invariably!

'Eccentric'' is the challenge

The Diva's challenge called for the use of 'eccentric'' circles in our work.

So, I tried and tried and finally came up with this ...

My rainbow sherbet peacock !

The Summer of Color is an 'icy' cool challenge as it has taken its inspiration from 'Ice creams' :)

Now the theme for the first week is the flavour 'Rainbow sherbet' . I love using bright colors in my art especially when the theme here reminds of my very own country India :)

I chose to draw and paint a peacock using the theme colors fuschia, orange, yellow and white.

His rainbow plumage vibrant and beautiful...
His majestic walk elegant and cheerful...
A carnival of glowing colors...feathers of unique fashion
A beauty with a difference ...God's magical creation...

A peacock to me is a constant source pf inspiration.

Thoroughly enjoyed creating a rainbow sherbet peacock :)

Abundant love...bridged in !

The  Diva's challenge demanded the use of tangle 'Bridgen'.

Here I have bridged in abundant love :)

I found this tangle quite fun. Once you are at it, it just flows...smoothly ...effortlessly.

Loved it abundantly!

I don't know why I am reminded of this quote...

"All you need is love.But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt!"

...may be I should have a piece right now :)

Surprises keep me going!

It was a big and a very very pleasant surprise to see that the theme this week on Artist's Play Room

is "Let's Zentangle' :) This is what I just love to do and can keep doing hours together...relentlessly :)

After all it is yoga for mind !

I have done a number of posts on my zentangled pieces and am linking only a few here!

Please feel free to go through the blog for the other posts inspired by this art :)

Now this delightful surprise was a mere excuse for me to indulge myself in creating and dedicating a work of art purely to this week's theme :) and so here I am...

Yes I am a dreamer

with soft but sparkling dreams...

I hold the power 

to dream my dream ...

 I fly against the winds

for I have grown my own wings...

I soar high among the lacy clouds

and feel the whispering breeze

I see a rainbow...paint another

I float...and I breathe...

my lungs full with that sweet scent

and my heart ...all content

I feel His magic

 the sweet notes tinkling in the air

I am blessed ...I am free...I smile 

and to dream again... I dare!

Not an empty page...

I said I will paint my own rainbows
and find my own song...
and the twinkle in my eyes grows
making me smile all along...

The wind beneath my hair
gives me a soft lift
and my heart wants to share
and make memories...a little gift

Cheering each moment that comes by
whispering... 'it will be happier'
...and my dreamy eyes
tell me that I am alive...even better

and I smile again... promising
to be true to the best in me
Yes I long for nothing
but to remain the very me...

Instead of  an empty page
I want to be a splash of colors,
spreading joy and love
forever...even longer!
