Virtuosity.... my new one

I was clueless when I started with this one... mostly an empty canvas, some random colors as remnants from Friday night's intoxicated dreams, added with very odd, frenzy mood over the weekend.

All I could think of, is about the color yellow, green and pair of grey-blue eyes, that has dominated my week. The eyes were thoughtless, improvising and had visible strain lines, from long exposure to the modern day e-readings. I don't know how they found their way to my disrupted dreams as they dominated the script of my thought flow.


I was curious to conjure the lose ends and make a picture and as I tried to think through, it all came back as flash of colors and drops of blood. Instantly, I was scared and went back to my Bible (The Interpretation of Dreams: Sigmund Freud).

The analogy said that the color Yellow: 

Has both positive and negative connotations. If the dream is a pleasant one, then the color yellow is symbolic of intellect, energy, agility, happiness, harmony, and wisdom. On the other hand, if the dream is an unpleasant one, then the color represents deceit, disgrace, betrayal, cowardice and sickness.

The color Green:

Signifies a positive change, good health, growth, fertility, healing, hope, vigor, vitality, peace, and serenity. The appearance of the color may also be a way of telling you to "go ahead". Alternatively, green is a metaphor for a lack of experience in some task.
To "be green", means that you are environmentally conscious. Green is also symbolic of your strive to gain recognition and establish your independence. Money, wealth and jealousy are often associated with this color.


Blood represents:

Life, love, and passion as well as disappointments. To dream that you are bleeding or losing blood, signifies that you are suffering from exhaustion or that you are feeling emotionally drained. It may also denote bitter confrontations between you and your friends. Your past actions has come back to haunt you.

Well to be honest I do not remember where the blood came from, but surely they were dripping.

Alas! I couldn't make much sense of my dream but I wanted to capture the essence of it, before I lose the trail of thoughts.

Hence I painted what I saw or experienced on 27th March 2011. I call this painting 'Virtuosity' and not because its a fancy for intellectual savoring, but because it was never and would never be real.

So, until next time.............

A looooonnng day!!!

I am overwhelmed with lot of items pending in my 'to do' list... This list is always full and am always reluctant to pull these things to climax...

One of my strangest thought today would be missing my Bangalore days... when I would just chat up an entire afternoon with my friends and colleagues.. rush for a sudden pedicure appointment between meetings at work. Some hilarious weekends with child hood pals and some lazed Sundays at home...

I don't seem to enjoy anything intensely as before.. may be it is the ease of achievement that ruins the fun or too long a wait that kills the joy! I don't know but I really struggle to get inspired even to pick up the brush and scratch the canvas...

The best part is, I still manage to travel and keep myself occupied with thoughts and hope of the 'best days of my life'

Here is my other painting, done for my desk at work, but never brought it to work (lazy me)

Its a small one 16 cm. by 14 cm.


I find this one too bright for me to look at, when am at work.. hence discarded

Until next time...

This is my first post...

No prizes for guessing that this is my first post on my blog.. I just thought that its gud idea to have a space of my own to key in what I feel like.. May be I will refer back to this when I am old ... We can all look at this and laugh about, 'How silly was I'..


Hope to post some of  pictures of my painting.. it can serve as my e-memory when I forget when I painted the same and what was I thinking!






This one was painted yesterday (06 March 2011), Sunday rainy evening.. it was getting dark.. and I painted a candle! Simple eh!


My friend felt, the 'flame should have been mild'. Well technically I agree with him. But I believe, when I say, "What u see black, I see white.. what u see colorful, I see grey.. what u see white, I see colorless.... come lets paint a picture.. your vision, my colors!"


Let's see how it shapes... no harm in getting it wrong.. :)
