the Nature painting

It was usual day, came from office had dinner and then started my PC. Was wondering what to do as n was not in mood of watching movie or reading. I don't know even after was very tired and without any mood of coding or watching movie why did I even boot my machine. Thus decided of cleaning my gmail inbox with 200 pending emails. And while was doing this stuff thought of chatting wid someone so that the process of cleaning wont remain that boring :P

thus while chatting wid a friend he mailed me a link of photo album which he captured while on the way to him home town. The place named Ghy. The entire album was with awesome shots. I was just to impressed with the beauty of the place. Thus the idea of painting one of those all pics came in my mind. So only after taking permission i painted the below paint.

The shading was not that good, rather it was after so many years was painting nature. But whatever it may be with this painting i am breaking the 2 months of record

the ethnic wall hanging

the sunday was real boring this time and too add more in to it I watch "kismat konnection" with the fast forward functionality of the movie player. Thats the best advantage of watching movies on PC than on cable or in theater :P, I mean I cant watch boring things continuously ..... and after watching the movie was in almost dead state ... I just switched off my machine and was wondering what shall i do now .... as n was not in mood of going out ... not even cooking ... and then just thought of sleeping (the best thing to do when u have nothing to do :P)

and then suddenly i saw the marriage invitation card, I don't know whose marriage was that .... but the card had beautiful "Ganeshji's" photo ... so just thought of reusing it.

so I opened up my cupboard and took out all the craft work and waste material box and started making a wall hanging .... most of the times rather than using waste material i end up using my ethnic ear rings or some times some necklace threads :P. Rather I will say most of the times I purchase big big ear rings for such purpose only.... Never mind unless and until I am making some use of it who cares ..... So thats how this master piece of "THE ETHNIC WALL HANGING" i made ..... and unlike all other times my all time critic loved it ..... :)
