Some Friends Of Mine

Those misty falls, with waters clean

So sparkling white, in diffused greens

And soaring birds, of flights so fine

Spreading peace, are some friends of mine.

Treasures Unseen!

That chosen path, turns sharp ahead

To unknown seems, the flight of stairs

Waver you not, have nerves of steel
There lie beyond, treasures unseen!

A Simple Life!

Open skies, and the yonder hill
Reflecting calm, a mind so still
Where thought and act, together thrive
All I need, is a simple life!

Light and Shade

Light and shade, shade and light

An interplay, that's woven bright

As we walk, the path we chose

The light and shade, comes and goes!

Kreativ Blogger Award

I was given the Kreativ Blogger award by Krista Hasson.

Here is how it works:Remember the rules for the Kreativ Blogger award is to list 7 things about you (so we can get to know you a bit better) and pick 7 deserving artists to pass it along to. Notify them and link to them from your blog.

7 things about me:
1. Watercolors and landscapes have always captivated me since my childhood days.
2. I am thankful to all who have inspired me and made it possible for me to paint
3. The small verse that I write accompanying the painting is the inspiration I get get from nature and try to capture in the painting. Everyone, of course, will have have their own independent inspiration
4. I wish I could interact more with other artists and learn from them.
5. I am thankful to my family (especially my wife) for putting up with all the mess related to painting that is a regular feature at home.
6. Painting is process where I pleasantly lose track of time.
7. Most importantly, painting is an inexplicable way to generate the same emotions in the viewer that I feel myself, without the barriers of language, place and time!

I would like to pass this award along to the folowing 7 artists for the creativity in their blogs. There are many others whom I would like to include here, but have to stay within the stated framework:
1. Milind Mulick
2. Sanjeev Joshi
3. Nick Simmons
4. Balaji Venugopal
5. Jan
6. Kat Farmer
7. Chris Beck

Do visit their blogs and see their works. I really appreciate the enormous contributions made by them and all others to this blogging community. Wish everyone a happy blogging activity!
