27th December 2022 Ann Su and Beena Hello everyone, as the year is coming to a close, I thought of writing about this painting done by Ann Su. This painting is in watercolour, and she used a white pen for the highlights. I loved the way one of the flowers on the mask gives…

A Christmas Tree
25th December 2022 Beena Merry Christmas to everyone 😊😊😊. I love the month of December. It is a time to reflect. I reminisced about this year, as it has been challenging since Mika’s passing. I have come to terms with my loss as I see so much needless suffering in this world. Why…
Dreams
24th December 2022, Beena Hello everyone😉😉. Sometimes a painting reveals so much about our unfulfilled dreams. When I sent out the picture of the Aurora Borealis, I was amazed by how many of you always wished to see it in real life😍😍. Today I wish to talk about the dreams you guys shared with me….
Wonderful Life
23rd December 2022 Ms Kala Pohl The movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” is one of my favorites…it’s on my must-watch list every Christmas. Often, we don’t explore the impact we have on someone’s life…or what they have on ours. What paths would our lives have taken if we hadn’t met? I believe that every…
Lilac
22nd December 2022 Kala and Beena Hello everyone😊😊. I was awestruck by this painting by Kala, who did it on Procreate. The lilac flowers in the foreground attracted my attention. The first recorded use of lilac as an English colour name was in 1775, with various hues of lilac in nature; pale, rich, deep…
Nothing Goes to Waste

Impermanence
15th December 2022 Beena Hello guys😊. I painted the snowman. I have always been fascinated by snowmen from a young age. Even though they are out in the cold weather, they seem lifelike😉😉. They appear to survey the happening around them. I used even to think that they could hear us😆😆. Sadly, just like…
Confidence
10th December 2022 Beena Hello guys😉. It has been a while since I posted my musings. Sometimes, being busy is good, but I had no time to reflect😤. I had not painted with watercolour for some time in the art class; we tend to paint mostly with acrylic😉. Hence, I got back to my favourite…
Wise Birds
10th December 2022 Ms Vasanthi Arasoo Drink where the horses drink; the horse never drinks bad water. Put your bed where the cat sleeps; it loves calm. Whatever fruit the worm has touched but not penetrated, it is always looking for the ripe fruit. And plant your tree where the mole digs, for…
A Xmas Gift
12th December 2022 Ms Juny Abraham I love Christmas. Hence, when I saw this Christmas tree design, I decided to make it😊. Macrame is a form of textile using knots; the most common knot is a square or reef knot. The earliest recorded ones were in the carvings during the Assyrian and Babylonian times….
