Happy Holidays Greeting Card

Hello everyone!

So, today I came up with a new card for my "Summer Season'' card collection. 
This card features a really nice beach and the scenery so clearly highlights the holiday theme and our craving for a nice long break from our busy lives...

This beach card is painted using watercolors, since I wanted to capture the holiday feel, I've added a nice little umbrella to it. I've kept the card really simple and as you can notice there's not a lot of attention to detail.

But oh, what a coincidence! There's a very similar theme and photo inspiration at the 'Inkspirational' and 'AAA Cards' this week. So, I thought I'll pop in my card in both the challenges. Smart, right? 

 Challenge #88 - Photo Inkspiration

                                  Game #45: It's So Hot! 

Soo... Happy holidays, people! :D

P.S. Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to let me know what you think of the card in your comments below. 

I would also like to enter this card for another challenge 'C4C297 Happy'

The challenge was to create a card that includes the word 'happy' on it. :)

Thinking Of You Greeting Card

A big Hello to you all... 

I hope you all had a great weekend. So again, I came across this competition called the "Color Throw down Challenge" (I seem to be coming across a lot of challenges these days) :P

Anyway, this card is my last minute submission for the above-mentioned challenge #353. So, have a look at it guys and do let me know what you feel about this card through your comments below. I would really like that! :D

I added a soothing background and painted the deer. Then, did the foliage of trees. The sentiment was handwritten later on to match the picture of a lonely deer.

The required color palette given to us for making the card consisted of Yellow, Purple & Green- which happen to be my favorite colors. I have used pastel shades of the mentioned colors for an elegant effect. 

Hope you all like it! 

P.S. Isn't the purple tree pretty? ;)

NATURE - The Art of God

                             

                                               "Nature is the art of God"

                                                                                                                             - Dante Alighieri

"Blue Blooming Beauties"

This nature quote will inspire many of us. Its not that I'm telling you something new . Its just that you pay attention. We are all familiar about the under mentioned facts but it is just that in our extremely busy lives, we don't pay attention to these little tidbits. Halt! stop for a while... Takeout time to relax and enjoy life more. At least, make an effort. Simply try  once and see the change/transformation in you. All this will help you in becoming a better individual. Life will be much happier when you start enjoying the little things in life. Delight in the beauty that surrounds you.

• Living for others is the rule of nature. 
• When you look deep into the nature, then you will realize that at times, nature plays the role of a teacher for us. 
• Feel blessed and enjoy the 'gifts' of nature. Appreciate the beauty around you. 
• Let it soothe and heal you. It is certainly cheaper than a therapy. Let nature be your medicine. 
• Make it a habit to spend time in nature.
• Learn to be patient from nature. Nature doesn't hurry.  

Pause and Remember -

"Life is a precious gift.

Use your days wisely."

Here, are a few of my recent watercolor floral paintings which reflects the divine serenity of nature. Life is full of colors... Enjoy each color with joy! Let yourself be surprised by nature. I believe flowers have a feel good factor whenever you look at them.

"Red Symphony"

"Cherry Blossoms"

Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

After all flowers express feelings better than words.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! :)

Pretty Pink Daisies

This week my choice of flower is "Daisy". Pretty Pink Daisies - fabulous flowers... I love painting on this subject. Why? 
The reason being its simplicity and innocence that it portrays. Also they are exquisite, visually appealing and always attract my undivided attention. They are my favorite. They are just so pretty!

These delicate flowers seem to be overflowing with happiness. Often, they are regarded as a symbol of purity especially the white ones. The cut Gerbera daisies make stunning bouquets and indoor flower arrangements. I have a deep personal liking for these stylish and sophisticated flowers. I bet their mere presence will brighten any occasion with their brilliant hues.

A simple fact about them which I also didn't know till now that they are named after a German botanist Traugott Gerber.

In this floral watercolor painting, I have painted pink daisies. The stem is generally upright and support the flower. Its center has a brown core. These are perfect summer floral plants, found in a wide variety of shades of white, pink, yellow, orange, red and purple. The daisy flowers are phototrophic which means that they always turn towards the source of light like sunflowers and belong to the sunflower family.

Here's the artwork in progress:

Oh! And did I tell you that how much I enjoyed painting these florets, with my favorite music put on and how the brush strokes were just going with the flow. In the end, I was quite pleased with the finished painting...

Have a nice weekend!

Design Spotlight: Seema Hooda

DECEMBER 11, 2014

tags: singhroha art

Our Design Spotlight falls today on Seema Hooda of Singhroha Art, a new artist who joined GCU in October of this year. Let’s all say “hi!” to this talented artist!

_________________________

Hello fellow artists! My name is Seema Hooda and I’m a watercolor artist from India. For me, painting is synonymous with self-discovery. I was in teaching profession for the last few years. I quit that to pursue my artistic dreams.

Since childhood I have been very passionate about painting. I have worked almost in all media, but watercolor is my favourite medium. I simply love the free flow effect created by the blending of colors, each time producing a unique pattern. I believe I have an obsessive compulsion to paint something new every time. As a matter of fact, it is good because that’s how creativity is retained.

I enjoy making greeting cards. And I feel that sending and receiving cards is an emotional affair as lots of thoughts go into the process of selecting an appropriate card.

You will find that most of my artwork and paintings are mainly florals. Actually, flowers fascinate me! I just can’t resist painting florals as I’m constantly intrigued by their beauty. Flowers are the most wonderful creation of God.

Please visit my blog to see more of my artwork.

 Have fun designing!  :)
