Her hidden problems..

Every good thing comes with it's own share of problems, Yes!! She strongly believes that. Being attractive hasn't really done anything good for her. She wants to hide her eye catching looks (the real problem) from the outside world. 

She waits for her old age to get the problems resolved automatically. 

Both the trouble-makers and sufferers know the fact hence let the story be left untold itself, without digging it too much. 

Here is an abstract work depicting the above theme.

Directly from the Heart of a Mother !

Hello All, 

 Now finally, the time has come for me to make a comeback to blogging after 7 months,  sometimes it is a ton of work and you just need to take a break from doing something which you really love.. we ought to prioritize things. 

As you all know, being a mother is perhaps the hardest and most rewarding job a woman will ever experience, just like the fellow mothers, I'm busy with enjoying the motherhood to the fullest, keeping my hobbies and other interests in back seat..
Even if I concentrate on my work, a corner of my mind keeps thinking about my daughter. When there are so many things running around in your mind, you will be running here and there and suddenly her call,"Amma", makes me forget everything, including the important works to be done too :).. 
 
When you reach home and you know she is waiting for you, and watch her eyes glow on seeing you, makes you the happiest person in the world!
Cuddling her, listening to her stories, making her sleep, falling asleep with her etc,,make me feel like Life can not get any better!

Time flies like anything, soon she becomes "big kid", and I just don't want to feel guilty in future for what I have missed..I have realized that my canvas can wait for me but my daughter can't,, realized that no one's life is perfect and that cannot be so, live every moment fully and understand that there is a reason for every struggle you go through, trust me  that makes you better each day.

I think its enough of justification for my break now ;)

So coming to my work, Here I'm sharing one of my old paintings, "The tiger"..exhibited in our last group show at Venkatappa art gallery..

Chitra Santhe - 2018

Hi,

Sharing couple of pics .. this is how I had setup my stall

Learning and Loving Abstract Paintings

Hello All,

   I have uploaded few of my recent abstract paintings here..

                                                     

                         
      An attempt to show how Mother nature is trying to balance her all the elements....                                                                         Acrylic on Canvas - 3' / 3'

On my recent visit to Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, took a boat ride. The guide who accompanied us was having 30+ years of experience there and had the knowledge of many birds in the sanctuary. He explained how the climate change is affecting the birds, which inspired me to do these two paintings.

                                                         Birds in changing climate - 2

My husband always wanted me to learn abstract paintings. Because of him, I have started exploring good options to learn and came across a workshop being conducted by Mr. Shirish Deshpande... I have enrolled for the same and enjoyed every bit of it. He is a very giving and selfless personality .. sincerely he is one of the best teachers I have come across. He has made me to enjoy the whole process of abstract paintings .. learning and loving abstract paintings ... lot more to come.
