'' -Mark Twain</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The sun begins its journey daily, going through different courses till it retires as a fair traveler in the west, yet promising a bright rise again. Known for its beauty while it paints the skies gay, it sinks to its rest. So that's how, the beauty of a sunset became my primary source of inspiration. The very thought of sunset evokes a mixture of contradicting feelings. For some, sunset is the end of the day symbolizing the end of hopes, feelings of despair while for others it's the step towards a new dawn, thus, new hopes...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Just a blurred picture in my mind and an inspiration to paint sunset was all i had till i came across a friend's snapshot. It was somewhat of a silhouette, with a sunset in the background. That's how the concept of the loner happened. However, painting a loner was somewhat tricky; for one, you lack the inspiration to paint when you are in high spirits. The ideal moment to paint, remained the moments when i actually related to that feeling. At a glance at the loner, it's hard not to miss out on the way he appears to be staring vaguely, in despair and relate that 'lost' feeling. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The drowning sun beneath the long dark lines of mountains and clouds that have piled up, lights withdrawn, no birds in sight and the gloom of the coming night dwells on everything. Each and every element just add on to setting required to create the feel i wanted to convey.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Talking of medium used, its acrylics on paper, except for the wooden 'seat'. Its a blend of acrylic paint and colored pencils, basically done to highlight the texture of the wood. It was challenging to paint a sunset for i had to keep in mind the various blend of colors that it entails yet paint it with a fine finish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As said before, the feelings evoked when looking at the painting of the sunset is based more on viewer's state of mind. Hence, while one individual might easily relate to the feelings of despair or loneliness and the darker sides of life; some others having an optimistic approach, might see a world of hopes even when there's none- thus, waiting for a new dawn. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Few days ago, I found this bottle among some old art works. I tried glass painting some years back. Not perfect of course. But not bad for a first attempt. The intention was to try it on a round fish tank, that is why, I chose the theme of nature; wild plants and its wild creatures. However, I wasn't able to find myself that kind of fish tank in time, so managed with this bottle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Trying to make good use of it, I used it as a piece of interior decoration, adored with colored pebbles, shells and corals. It adds value to an empty side-bed table. It very much suits the decor of my room and its color palette. Hah! Those readings on Interior Decor was never a waste of time! :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I started out this painting as soon as my final year exams of university were over. Finally in holidays, I had a lot of ideas, endless plans that I wanted to put on my to-do lists. Lying somewhere in between of being a student and having a job, lied this great opportunity- to be idle and catch-up on hobbies and all the crazy things I would not have had time to do otherwise. This painting happened when bored, I was browsing through my favorite fashion magazine, Femina, checking on the the trendy winter wears. Then came the hard-to-miss section- Food and Recipes. Quick dinner recipes made easy, too irresistible not to catch my attention! As I was grabbing my pen and recipe book to jot the dishes down, I noticed how worn out was the cover. Just then came an idea, to combine my two interests. Why not paint a cover for my notebook of recipes collection? It would be a pity if I couldn't paint myself a creative and pretty cover for my Recipe Notebook. The very night I started out with the paint work. Few good food I had browsed through earlier in the day and good wine seemed to be something I was motivated to freeze with my paint brushes. Two months' of work, and here lies the painting, completed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white;">Oil pastel on paper. These are the cuddly toys of my art teacher's, then 4 years old daughter that i painted during a visit to her place. I wanted to lie focus upon the soft and fluffy texture of the dogie. Thought oil pastel would be best suited for that, though a few of you would have opted for another medium. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;">Acrylics on satin cloth, for I wanted to have that shiny finish. Being a foodie, a peek in the Indian cuisine, spices and delicious food became a source of inspiration to paint. Pickles are the accompaniments of almost every Indian dishes. I wanted to capture the traditional way of preparing various types of pickles, which i represented by the use of mortar and pestle, the wok and Indian spices and ingredients. Its my very first work that was exposed at the University of Mauritius in the 2007. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
