Friends

Just when I was done complaining about how hectic it gets when you work six days a week, we spent a lovely evening at this beautiful place. Lovely garden and great company, couldn't be better than this to wind up that long week.

Weekend Workday

What working on weekend feels like. 

Wind

Frequent rain has been a welcome change here in Hyderabad.It gets windy these days and you see old leaves making way for the new ones.  

Hanging out

There were a lot of sketches done this week. One of which was these two friends hanging out. I wish there was more time to play around with some colour on this one.

Poppies

I think it is going to take a while until I switch over to sketching mode once again. Random drawing done over the weekend. Poppy flower look alike. Among all its symbolism, I like it being associated with dreams.  

Workshop Postponed

Little Manu Art workshop had to be postponed until further notice. We remain optimistic and will keep you guys informed on all fun things to come. 

Little Manu Art workshop

As the date for workshop comes closer, excitement level is pretty high! SO, next weekend is going to be a whole lot of activities planned by Little Manu for this Art Workshop. Sharing a few more cards done by somm for kids at Joy home for children.  

Little Manu comes to Hyderabad

I am excited about upcoming workshop at Joy Home for Children in Hyderabad during first week of June. This five day workshop will be conducted by Little-Manu. A few cards are in the making right now, copies of which are planned to be shared with the kids there as little token of love from SOMM. A lot more about this little collaboration and stories coming up. Tejashree and her team are working on wonderful ideas  to make this a memorable experience for children at this orphanage. 

Dr Kallam Anji Reddy Memorial

A few of us from office visited the recently completed Dr Kallam Anji Reddy memorial in Miyapur, Hyderabad. The place is serene and beautiful. I'm sure it definitely has left all of us inspired.This completed project by Mindspace takes you through Dr Anji Reddy's life  and influences. This place sure does leave an imprint on your heart, where is presence is felt immesly. I definitely see myself visit there again. If you wish to read more about this project,Dr Anji Reddy Memorial_Archdaily is the link. And if you are in Hyderabad, one place you must visit. 

A short story from Goa

Here's a sketch of few objects which used be in my grandmother's old house. Well, this isn't the exact arrangement they used to have but many of these objects would be seen around the house. Yes, gradmother who we fondly call Bai, used to have a trunk with her favourite nauvari sarees and a piggy bank back then. I doubt the trunk stayed intact but I think the piggy bank still stays safe with her. 

Dreams

I'm so excited to share this recently completed work titled 'Dreams'. It has finally reached its new home. It was awesome to start the weekend to know he loved it. Its a 18 x24 inches canvas painting. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it. Keep dreaming. 

Dream on canvas

We are currently busy packing just finished painting. One of the sketches has found a new home. Have you seen the earlier sketch 'Dreams', its a 18x24 version of this on canvas. Can't wait to show you guys the entire composition, and know how you feel about it. For now, just the sneak peek because it is yet to reach the client. Don't we all love clients who don't put your work on a strict deadline, I enjoyed working on this one. 

100 days of 2017

Sometimes it helps to step away from the chaos. There is no better filter than reaching out to your friends on social media sites individually. And when that happens ,in a short span you realize how fast life has moved forward.Thank you for your support and appreciation. Next few years are going to be busy, busy with a lot more new sketches , stories, paintings and much more. If you have a potential sketch story in mind, please do share it. I would love to give it a try.
