This is my latest work, Reflections 2 completed on May 6, 2009. This look me 4 hours to complete. This was taken at Yosemite and I changed some colors etc. I took off from work to do this painting in a beautiful sunny weather at the back of the house.

It is natural human tendencies to think of all that we don't have and miss enjoying all the blessing that are showered on us.

I enjoyed the beautiful day, my desire to paint, making time to paint and the 4 hours went by so fast. I long for these moements.

Well...you have heard of wirter's block.....I have blogger's block. A week ago I started my first blog. Then all week, I have been stressing about what else to write. My mind refused to think beyond my first blog write up.

After my inital block, I am attempting to get over it. This is like writing a journal. As a teenager there was not much freedom to live as I want. Hence journaling all my desires and wishes were noted in a journal with an advise from an elder...for about 2-3 weeks...:)

I like to share my thoughts, my passions, my dreams and like to learn from others. I have several great websites connected by RSS feed to my email. There seems to be no end to learn and underdtand in life and share the goodness all around.

I am going to make an attempt to blog twice a week to start with. I may not get any responses to my blog...but then, it is not just the results, I am enjoying this process, flow of my thoughts. I have several topics, I want to share my thoughts. Stay tuned.

I am glad I am blogging. I am more glad that you have read this. I will be happy to hear from you.

Here I am...venturing to start my first blog on my art website....I will have to figure out how to streamline and share my thoughts in this site...

It does not have to be all art related.....it could be anything.

If you are visitng my site and finding this, I like to hear from you tips on maintning my blog.

this is good for a start...what do you say?

Thanks for viewing my site
