Another Series of Small Paintings on Flowers(work in Progress)


One thing I like about putting my paintings on the computer is that I can get to see easily how the colours turn out...sometimes I do not get the colours I intended, and subsequently I will change or improve on the same picture..
In this case, the large leaf behind the flower is AWFUL.....and OMG, the background is not good...I think I am not good at making it look 'modern'


The picture below after some 'extra' work done...looks better the one above...

More Sketches




Blue Flowers(Work in Progress)

A break from making  much needed paper wipers.  Went on to paint the blue flowers I wanted to do long ago eventhough someone had asked as to why I wanted to paint it at all when I had much more prettier flowers to paint.  I just like to paint the uncommon things, and hope to do that even more.



Roses from the Garden(In Progress)

Suddenly my rose plant began to bloom continuosly for the past two weeks and there are buds still .....enough to 'cheer up' the surroundings for Christmas...
Instead of snowing, we are having showers of rain, even when the sun is shining just a short while before(QUEER), and we are kept busy bringing in and out the washed laundry.


First attempt at soft pastel and also at painting a transparent vessel.....phew the roses are hard...leaving that
for a while , going for some fresh air before I proceed with my practice.

Random Sketches

Sketching pictures from photos in the computer is indeed challenging and eye straining.
Here are two of the sketches which I am not going to change/erase and redo because of some
inaccuracies. Can I ever draw from memory?
