Acrylic Canvas

Hi all

I just finished my Acrylic Canvas Painting. I love to paint landscapes and historical monuments.



Water, trees, fresh air, green atmosphere all around. Reflection of trees fall on the water as if green carpet is spread all over the water. Ducks are there, sitting as if they wish to talk to us. Water look so beautiful with the reflection of trees. Just a perfect atmosphere for an artist to capture this beauty in to their canvas.

Do you know this is a real landscape which I paint and its from Delhi...yes Delhi.

Such beautful scenes are still present in Delhi.

Thankyou God for making this Earth so beautiful. I wish we can protect and save this natural beauty.

Quilled Note Cards

Hi all

I am back with two mini Quilled Note Cards. Though I am not that much into Quilling but colorful quilling strips always fascinate me. Swirling, Rolling, Curling oh my God so much fun and so much wide this Quilling is.

I just came across Sathya, one of the fellow bloggers and totally gone mad after seeing her Quilled creations. So much depth, so much detailing, totally full of life. Then I seriously started thinking to try my hands on Quilling. Thank you Sathya for making me inspire so much.

After that I came across Pritesh blog. She tried each and everything in Quilling, combine various techniques together to form a quilled creation, open the new wide gate in quilling which is really close to art. Her creations also inspire me a lot. Thank you Pritesh for inspiring me so much.

So here comes my Quilled creations -






One more thing I enjoyed Quilling more with my fingers than doing with the tools.
