Finding a Bigger Bubble...

More than two months passed before I picked up the paints again. The urge to paint was incredibly overwhelming but there was always something or the other standing in my way. I felt like I had regressed and needed a pick me up. I delved off the inspiration of my first monochrome painting, 'Touch' and the fact that the second one 'When Green turns out to be True Blue' was actually that I emptied out most of my poster green paint onto the canvas board. Working with my hands and poster paints with the music on sent me into a trance like state which even had me jump out of my skin when my dad came to speak to  me. :) An hour and forty five minutes later, I had this.
From the Rushes...
Every time I look at this piece, it gives me a sense of renewal, like a phoenix rising from the ashes or a child peeping from behind the rushes with a sparkle in his eye.

For the fascination that I had like the little child that appeared to me in my mind, when I did this, it just wasn't enough. I wanted to add more colour, I felt the need to intensify the next one. But one thing that stuck in my mind were the words 'Flow' and 'Fluidity'. It became my expression of how I have come to sense everything around me blended with the peace of mind I feel inside.
Finding the Flow...
While the big bold textures and hues of From the Rushes brought out one side of me Finding the Flow allowed to me to delve deeper. And more of the urge to be bold again was to spill over derived from the queer sensation that a purple sunrise instigated in me.

  2. OK... I will be serious. I like the paintings very much, but perhaps you should explain what each painting means. Modern art isn't just about designs and splashes of color. Talk about what feelings you are trying to show in your paintings. :D
