Kite

So how are you all doing? Is everything going well this week?

Apart from today's fun illustration I wanted to share some special pictures you all. I'm scheduled to do the Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival on March 27-28, 2010 at the Georgia International Horse Park . This is going to be my first show and I'm excited, perplexed and afraid all at the same time. I'm going to be at #334. Drop by and say hello if you are participating or attending :)

We did a trial run today morning and here are some of the pictures.

Its a Caravan Canopy from Costo. It was pretty easy to set up. Between me and Tarun we were able to set it up with ease. Some more stuff like easels for the larger artworks, sand bags and one more table are still in transit.



It was extremely windy and I smashed a vase and broke a large picture frame. Thankfully damages were budgeted for.

And here is today's illustration. Flying kites always make me happy. The people and kites themselves seem to be having so much fun!

Poppy

This is what my friend Anusha calls my illustrations - Daily birdie supplements! LOL!
So here is today's dose :)

Loony

This one is called loony mostly because I feel loony :)

In the window

There is nothing better than Friday afternoon!! Don't get me wrong. I love what I do every day but, there is just something about the weekend, the endless hours of doing nothing, waking up late, eating all the meals with that special someone and the late night movies :)

Today's illustration is here too. Love how the blue bird turned out. I'm also working on another illustration with strings of pearls around this little fella.




On another note, Vibha (a non profit I volunteer for) is organizing a Chess and Table Tennis Tournament here in Atlanta. I completed designing this flier for them today. I had never done a flier before so it was challenging and fun! I'm going to get better with a little practice.

Love bird

Friday is almost here! Hubby has to work over the weekend so no out of town trips for us this V day. But something fun is definitely on cards. Happy V day to all of you! Have fun :)


I shipped out these two orders today. One order was sent with a thank you note on a heart doily with a red string.



The second was sent with a note written on the back of a commissioned portrait business card.


See you on Monday!!

Lily pad

My two favorite love birds again. This time on a Lily pad :)

Smitten

Happy February everyone! I just love this month, don't you?

This month begins with a little experiment with potatoes. This batch of potatoes had eyes all over. I sliced a part with a bunch of germinating eye buds hoping for it to grow like carrot tops do.


Love mustache like roots and the tinge of purple!!



Back to today's illustration. This one is a deer (and a hot one with red antlers ) instead of a bird.

One look at her and Mr. Antler is smitten!

This is the large window, covering one whole wall of my studio. There is so much natural light in this room that I never have to use any additional lighting for photography. Just the camera set on Hi light.

Precious Love

Precious love
You woke my heart up
It's been sleeping for such a long time
This crazy feeling I can believe in
Your love has found its way into my life
:)

This is how the door of my studio looks like now. I like the splash of green :)
Will post more pictures of the room soon!

A cuddle please!!

I have been working on this particular piece for over a week now. All the while my mind kept drifting to old memories of the walls of our house covered with bright pink Bougainvillea. It was a long time back and yet it is so crisp and clear in my head.

I'm calling it - A cuddle please.

Bed side table with some white porcelain pieces from Ross and red picture frame from Ikea. Notice the daises, we've had them for over 2 weeks now and they are still as fresh as ever.

Now that the bookmarks are here I slip one in with every art print.

V Day is almost here

Today's illustration is inspired by red, hearts, love... Valentine :)

And this little guy is called Mim.

I have also been experimenting with a little bit of photography. Though the pictures are not there just yet. Hopefully as soon as I figure out white balance and lighting the pictures will turn out much nicer.

Here is one picture of the packaging. This is how I'm hoping to do all the Etsy listings from now on. One picture of the art, another one as it is displayed and the third one of the packaging.

To all the hint dropping, top secret shopping and romantic getaways! Cheers!!
