The Unborn (A Painting)

After a long time I did a water painting. This time what I painted was quite different from my usual attempts.

The base of this painting is a doodle where I just closed my eyes and scribbled whatever shapes my hand drew. Once I felt I had scribbled enough I stopped and opened my eyes.

Then I concentrated on all the weird lines that lay in front of me.  And slowly an image started appearing out of these shapes. This is the image I drew over again leaving out lines that did not form a part of the image that I saw.

This was the final image I saw and painted. I call it 'The Unborn'. I saw a mother holding a new born child but I still called it 'The Unborn' because of the way the image turned out. It seems like the child is still inside the mother wrapped up away from all worldly harm.

I chose green to represent the mother because a mother is the provider all her life for the child. The child is in red - representing the childlike energy. And behind the mother is a yellow hallow - it represents the shielding nature of the mother.

I hope you all like it!

Bringing back old memories

I was sitting in my cube in office today and after a long time I noticed the paintings I had put up. These paintings and sketches are old - very old (almost 10 years old).
Since I haven't been doing much with paints lately I thought of sharing what I already have.
Looking at them just brings back sweet old memories, a blank paper, some active imagination, some inspiration and my paints.
Hope you like looking at them!
