Sketchbook–Hands

I seem to be more fond of drawing hands than feet. Mrs. Jasani, back in art college, wasn’t impressed – she reviewed the assignment she had given (100 drawings of the hand) and said, “I’m giving you eight marks out of ten only because you completed the assignment. Don’t think it’s because you are good.”

I’m playing around with collage again, and it’s such fun!

Drawing–RainGirl

I like to see a thunderstorm,
A dunder storm,
A blunder storm,
I like to see it, black and slow,
Come tumbling down the hills.
A plunder storm,
A wonder storm,
Roar loudly at out little house
And shake the window sills!

- Elizabeth Coatsworth (1893-1986).

Sketchbook–Dattatreya Square

As the title says, this was done in Dattatreya Square in Bhaktapur, Nepal. We used to have many similar old buildings over here, but most of them are being torn down in favor of modern, totally unaesthetic  monstrosities.

Photo of the Week – New Hibiscus

We have added two new hibiscuses to our garden. This one was called ‘American Beauty’ at the nursery. They have a whole range of American Beauties, and I’m going to add all of them to my garden one by one.  The second one is a beautiful creamy pink; I’ll post the picture when it blooms.
