Colorful Spring Tree

'Spring'  is the season when the flowering plants bloom. It appears as if earth has turned into a kaleidoscope of colors. Everything seems so alive and full of color. I really think that this is the time when nature is at its best. Spring is related to the idea of rejuvenation and regrowth of new life. So, here's a new watercolor painting to mark the onset of spring season...

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! :)

My first painting of the New Year 2015

My first painting of the New Year 2015: Daffodil flowers
This is because daffodils symbolize new beginnings / rebirth. These flowers with unmatched beauty often bloom in clusters. They are often used in bouquets or flower arrangements. A bunch of daffodil flowers as a gift ensures wealth and happiness. Gifting a single flower is considered to be a bad omen. Thus, flowers should always be given in a bunch.

Yellow Daffodils

Their scientific name is Narcissus. Their common names include ~ jonquil and lent lily. They are popularly called 'lent lily' due to their long association with Lent. Let me tell you that, Lent is forty day long period of preparation for Easter sunday. During this period before Easter, many Christians do not eat certain type of food as a mark of respect to remember the suffering of Jesus Christ. 

These beautiful flowers are infact, a sign of end of winter season. They are the March birth month flower. They appear at the onset of spring. They have six petals and there is one flower per stem. Their basic color is yellow but generally white daffodils are also common.  

Many poets including William Wordsworth have composed poems on them. These ornamental flowers are a favourite with gardeners and florists for the simple reason that they have long life and have pretty, attractive blooms. The daffodil is the national flower of Wales and the symbol of many Cancer Charity Organisations. They also have medicinal value. 

Hope your New Year is off to a wonderful start.

Have a nice day! :)

{Beautiful Landscape}

Take a break from your sternous routine and spend some quality time with your family members in the lap of nature. We should open ourselves to the beauty of nature surrounding us.

{Pond with cat-tails}

{Autumn hues: Colorful Trees}

There is healing in the trees for tired body and mind. These paintings encourage us to appreciate the beauty of mother Earth. Someone has stated so beautifully "Lose yourself in nature and find peace".
