Playfully with colours !!:)

Last week when everything was going wrong I  started playing with colours !!
After almost 10 years  have tried something new old !... Once upon a time which was very close to my heart ...Yes, painting!.. To be precise Jamini Roy  replica/copy !!

Hmmmm... After M.Sc. it took  a back seat ....reasons are many...well that is completely another story!!...

Now, let us come to the point...last weekend I've tried it...after a long long  time....and more or less happy with the outcome...!!:)...It was just a test run...!! All you know painting needs a lot of time and patience (and am in short of both!!)....
A copy of Jamini Roy's 'Mother and Child'....which is one of my all time favourites...intentionally I've changed the colour scheme ....

Here, is the making...my humble attempt...; 



 And finally am here...

I know, I know flaws are there very much...am no expart !..

So, all my lovelies..all super talented ladies out there...please drop in your suggestions...only you can guide me! ...Would love to hear from you as always :)

At present am crazily busy..... in the middle of packing !....and my two great great helping hands (yup, our brats) are always trying to disturb  make things easy for mama dear (as usual !!:)) Would try to put up a few posts on Christmas/Holiday decor before I leave....

A Passage to India

It's mid of November... Diwali is over (though the afterglow is still there :))...Thanksgiving is coming.... and it is raining continuously in Singapore!...This tropical beauty queen is all wet...the clean roads are cleaner and the green landscapes are much greener now  :)...

Last weekend was just like that !!.....The seductress Singapore was all dressed up with flowers and colours and greens ! Though Saturday was a crazy busy day with all to-do-lists, shopping and all that....Sunday was a bit different !!....Officially Sundays are fun days if hubby is in Singapore...if he is not travelling zig-zag across the continents !!....So, when the dad and the brats were in full mood (as usual) the mom decided for a family day out at Asian Civilisation Museum.....:)

ACM  is one of the pioneering museums in the region to specialise in PAN-ASIAN cultures and civilisations...and is an integral part of the three museums of the National Museum of Singapore.

The Museum's collection centres on the material cultures of the different groups originating from China, South East Asia, South Asia and West Asia....from which the diverse ethnic groups of Singapore trace their ancestry. Today am showing a part of it's South Asian gallery (Gallery 7) and the rest will come in near future [It is impossible to cover up the whole Museum in a single post!!]....

Spread across two galleries, the South Asian collection explores the wealth of diversity in the region  through themes such as religions, science and the performing arts. South East Asia was the birthplace of two of the world's major religions: Hinduism and Buddhism. The Museum's collection of stone representations (statues and stupas and models) of the Hindu  Gods covers different regional styles and includes popular deities such as Shiva, Parvati, Vishnu, Brahma and Ganesha.....Today let us enjoy the India section...which is enriched with all these incredible stone sculptures...!!!

So, this was my weekend in a capsule!...and now am going to add this link to Patty's weekend wrap up 6.
