Artist's corner- Shilpa Mehta

At Creations- The Art Shop, we are a small cohesive team with artistic interests and I would like to introduce you to Shilpa Mehta, who in her own words describes herself as -

"I'm a freelance artist. I've developed this very skill during school days. I chose engineering as my career option. Have been doing great in this field but, missed the creative work done during school time. As I realized my passion, I started working as a freelance artist. I believe life is a canvas and emotions are the paint. In the very light I paint what my heart says.

I admire Indian beauty and culture. My paintings are inspired by religion, traditions and nature. You will see mercy of god, emotions of women, beauty of nature simply made using different techniques of art. Looking for appreciation and suggestion".

I see unique extravaganza of colors and figures and features in her art.

Happy Ganesh (Ganesha) Chaturthi , Elephant God Festival Celebration in India and across the world

With upcoming festival of lord of wisdom, our dear elephant god, Ganesha whom several people across the world worship and admire for its virtues, let me wish you all happy festive times. My father particularly had such a strong hold and fine brush with Ganesha paintings. Of course he did several other arts as well, such as other folk art paintings, nature paintings, abstract, at the same time I think Ganesha paintings were so nature of him.

In his abscence, I am part of close team of artists who paint in their own great style and we have several new works. Hope the watchers and shoppers of my shop will love those as well. Visit Lod Ganesha section of my artshop at http://creations1000.etsy.com or follow the shop link on the right side of this blog.

Remembering my father- with this Energy Symbol Om (Aum) Original Painting

It is just a few months father, you have left this wordly world and while I do list his beautiful paintings with fond remembrance, I do miss him a lot. This energy symbol painted by dad indeed depicts endless cosmic energy, that just flows from one form into another and never really gets destroyed. Several meditation practises suggest the practitioners to focus on something peaceful, a symbol or an image in mind. This om (aum) symbol does provide such a 'object' for meditation session. Of course as all our works are, it's a vibrant home decor, wall art work. Check more details at my shop http://www.etsy.com/listing/77963564/sun-like-golden-energy-symbol-om-aum

Happening Sydney Opera House

In this photography work, I have tried to maximize the crystal clear beautiful Sydney Opera House, on one of those bright and sunny days, with blue skies and equally beautiful blue ocean surrounding the world famous landmark structure. I loved the walk along, as I mentioned in my previous post, and also the lively cafes nearby and the delight on people's faces as they see this landscape and immerse themselves into it. Well needless to say, the performance inside are also equally stunning. I watched sitar concert by world famous Anoushka Sharma, in the main concert hall of the Opera House. It was an experience. Hope u will enjoy this photograph as part of my urban photography series-

Sydney Opera House On My Mind...

Even after visiting this lively place for several sevaral times, I am unsatisfied, there is always some new thing to see, some new photograph to be taken, there is some new thing to be enjoyed, and well last but not the least some new shopping to be done :-)

The moment one gets off the Citirail train at Circular Queue station located in the heart of the Sydney CBD, the wind from Opera House can be felt, fresh breeze with lots of wharfs around waiting for the cruises and ferries to depart or arrive, make the walk to Opera House a refreshing start. In about 10 minutes you reach the world famous Opera House, an architectural masterpiece and home for world famous performing arts. You see it at different times of the day, you get different perspectives of this beautiful work.

The photograph I have displayed in this blog, is one of the vintage or classic style colored and yes, it is just one view of the lotus leaves that make Opera House, THE Opera House.
