 I am back to my sketch book and my repeating triangles. I decided to add some colour to my sketches. Am still monochromatic here and have decided to experiment with more colour and also make some digital sketches. Much light and a great start into the New Year!

 This week I am posting a sketch that I did on beer coasters. This is a part of my "Jugendstil and Concrete Art Series". I had developed this series from a Jugendstil drawing of pepper corns on a pepper vine. This drawing reminds me of the sun and its divergent light rays. In the State of Tamilnadu, India where I come from, the return of the sun back into the northern hemisphere is celebrated as Pongal: a week full of festivities that commemorate the natural cycles. Much light and a great start into the New Year.  Many of us travelled to be with family over the holidays. I hope it did us all a world of good to relax and revel in the laughter and fun, frolic and fellowship, that only family and friends can provide. Again I am grateful for everything in my life. From this place of gratitude, I welcome this New Year 2020 and wish all you a Happy, Prosperous and Joyful one! Much light!  As a sign off post for Christmas, I am posting a selfie that I posted some 2 years ago. Wishing you and your families a relaxed holiday and a time for contemplation, and gratitude and gathering strength for the New Year 2020. May it be filled with joy and fulfilment! Much light and see you all soon in the New Year.  As this year draws to an end, I have much to be thankful for. I shall begin with all the people in my life: they have enriched my life in various wonderful and sometimes in also excruciating ways. Thank you for being there, listening to me, making me smile and laugh, wiping my tears, making me swear, hugging me tight, complementing me, criticising me, patting me on my back, helping me, pushing me to my limits, teaching me those lessons, ... What would my life be without you all? I am thankful for each one of you! Much light!  This week's post is again from my sketch book. This was inspired by my leaves and twigs composition I posted last week. My triangles are stretched a little bit and the end product is markedly different. This reminds me so much of Anni Albers' tapestries. I look forward very much to interpreting this sketch in a larger scale and am quite excited about the outcome. Much light!  Here is another take on the twigs and leaves arrangement, this time devoid of colour. The contrasts make the sketch come alive. Unfortunately for me, as I did this sketch last week, Berlin was in a grey soup and a little bit of light would have done me a world of good. I wish you all and myself, much light! |
