Musings

Too much of gap...a frustrating phase and I was helpless or probably was busy with unnecessary trivia...will begin...from tomorrow..

Wedged Mountains...

 

Wanted to start off again with my watercolor schedule...thought the best would be to start with a basic mountain landscape....

A workshop long overdue.........

DAY 1.....
It was at the behest of one of my friends that I thought of taking a workshop on Wall Decor....6 ladies, glass and acrylic Colors, fabric and canvas...and it started.

FINAL DAY...
After 4 days of hardwork, I was overjoyed to see the brilliant outcomes...thanks to my students...so eager to learn and hardworking....finally I did it.

Of Gayan-bayan and Poong Cholom

 The 'khol' or the drum players are the inevitable part of Assam's 'Naam-kirtan' as well as classical 'Sattriya nritya'. The pristine attire of the khol players add to the beautiful beats and are a treat to the soul.

Ever since my childhood, I am fascinated by Manipuri drum beaters....with their pristine fine white 'uttariya' flowing in the air in accordance to their beats, they are a treat to the ears as much to the eyes...I wonder how they manage to synchronise their acrobatic movements to the rhythm of their drum which they call 'khol' or 'poong'. These works of mine are a tribute to them.
