Beauty in simplicity!!

Today I am sharing with you a painting i did some time back.I had collected a brochure of tribal India/ India tourism long time back!! This girl's picture was on the cover. Since I like to paint tribal/rural Indian girls and women..I think they are so beautiful..No makeup..all natural..there is a certain glow on their face !! All the beautiful authentic jewelery they wear.. Vibrant colors and dances..!!! They a live a very simple yet happy and satisfied life!!

Sorry for the poor photography as this picture was taken by my iPhone.

I was fascinated by the jewelery worn by the girl.. Tribal Indian wear such beautiful jewelery, colourful clothes with unique embroidery..all handmade and with eye for details .. I would like paint more girls like these in coming years.. I have learned that I am good at oil rather than acrylics.. This one I have used knife and brush both..The strokes look much better in reality..I was happy with depth and dimensions of the painting!!

Happy Monday!!

Bird houses and more....

A trip to Greifensee or lake Greifen near Zurich we passed by a quaint little shop.. A little cottage like shop selling flowers and succulents .. I think I had mentioned earlier that succulents and cactus are one of popular indoor plants in cold countries.. They are considered as exotic plants..

The entrance to the shop with a old wooden door and pretty hand made wreath on it.. It had rained that day..The cottage was decorated by pots and plants and ....

Vogel villa... bird house.. not one but many different types ..some on sticks..some were hanging..beautifully hand painted in different shapes and sizes..

Some were two stories and some single house:)..some with square windows and fences.. some with round windows ..But of course exorbitantly priced( a little too unrealistic price I would say ..starting from 150CHF for the smallest birdhouse)
