I love painting during the monsoon! The smell of rain on dry earth, the gray clouds scudding across the sky, the rain lashing down, it just makes me want to paint and paint and paint!
I have been working on a new set of my abstract landscape paintings. I paint these on paper or canvas sheets in Acrylic mainly as it dries quickly during the rainy season.
I usually add mixed media elements to the finished acrylic painting and then rework it..over and over until the image matches up with the one in my head.. of course happy accidents do happen but I know where I am going with each piece 90% of the time.
These paintings depict two subject matters - "Angel song" and "Freedom".
Everywhere you go in India, you are surrounded by religion and faith of different kinds. These are some times tangible, sometimes audible, sometimes visual.. usually a combination of the three. " Angel song" is my interpretation of all the calls to prayer, vedic chants and choirs I hear around me. India is an incredible mix of cultures, faiths and religions.. at the end of the day I think it really boils down to spirituality and faith.. no matter what religion you believe in, what traditions you follow, the voice of one of true and pure faith rings out like divine music and can always be heard soaring above the rest.
Thats what I have tried to paint... that beautiful song.. the songs of angels.
Freedom means different things to everyone. To me freedom is my hearts desire to fly free. Free as a bird soaring up in the sky, free as a child on a swing..
The paintings in this series are abstract landscapes with the domes and minarets of a city below and soaring birds above.
