Rubber, Stubs, etc.

Hey, everyone! I hope you've been enjoying reading my posts. Today, I'm going to share an artwork that I've been meaning to make since quite a while.

As a teenager, I was always fascinated at the idea of riding a bike. So after a lot of cribbing and crying, my dad taught me. And so started, one of the coolest phases of my life.

Now, I usually drive around but, I was a biker girl once. So this is more like a throwback painting for the times I've ridden my old yet awesome bike.

Coming back to art, it took me three days to finish this acrylic painting. I tried a lot of new things in this artwork and it worked out great for me. The cigarette stub, the hair and the jacket are a few of my favorite things of this painting. But the highlight for me, is the attitude that the artwork portrays. It is blunt, crisp and clear. 

So there it is, yet another pop art piece, just to commemorate my ride. And so, with this painting, I want to give a shout out to all biker girls and ladies who love their rides. In conclusion, I would just like to share a quote I firmly believe in, 

"Four wheels moves the body. Two wheels moves the soul."

Please share your thoughts in the form of comments and let me know if someone out there wants to own today's painting. Yes, it's on sale! Those of you interested, please mail me at swapni9@gmail.com 

Celebrating Time

*Deep breath* 

So, hey everyone. This blog is something that I've been planning since quite some time. The idea behind it is to just while away my time and yours too. Jokes apart, as an amateur in this field, I'm doing this to share some kick-ass ideas, thoughts and experiences with like - minded people, interact with new crazy arty people, and of course, share my art on a global platform. 

Art is something that I've been interested in since I was a kid. I would paint walls with my tiny little hands until I was whooped telling me not to do so. Why not?! Art comes from within the soul and is an awesome way of self expression, as most know. 

So if you are interested in what goes inside my squeaky little brain and soul, you should go check out my work and follow my blog. 

Here's a painting that I did for a special friend on a very special occasion. Since he's big into rock music, it wasn't too difficult to imagine what I wanted to paint for him. But since I love research and also whiling away my time, I started looking at what could be different ways of interpreting rock music. I came across a lot of things...A LOT! But nothing struck me as an inspiration. Then my lovely friend, Pinterest, gave me an idea of doing the most obvious thing. The rock and roll hand sign! Thats it. Got my acrylics, brushes and my canvas, sat down for the entire day finishing this piece since I was too excited to give it to him. Use of bright and vibrant colors gives this, 30''X 23'' painting, a very Pop Arty feeling, which is what I was going for, BTW.
