August Sketchwalk

August Sketchwalk at Kampong Java Park, behind KK Women's and Children's Hospital. I have special memories about this place during my both pregnancies. I used to have a stroll in this park after the check-ups, maybe I just wanted to be with the beautiful greens and flowers, sad that this place is going to be demolished for development.

Mother's Day

I'm not a fan of the much commercialized celebration of "Days" like teacher's day, mother's day etc., instead I wud advise my students to make handmade cards or gifts if they want to gift their loved ones....but last week my son bought an artificial rose from his bookshop for me(with the extra money he had), he said everyone bought gifts for their mums too......and I shud admit, that moment of receiving a gift from those little hands is very exceptional, he later promised to give me a handmade card too :)
And what I did with it? as usual............Gouache (Cad yellow, Cad Red, Alizarin Crimson, Cerulean blue).

Rangoli

Rangoli for a corporate Deepavali event at Bedok......with a 3 1/2 feet "Kutthuvilakku" and decorative Diyas. I decorated the transparent sheet Rangoli with Kundan stones and Gold liner, since my client specifically requested for rich colours, I attached a white background to enhance the brightness of the colours.

Handcrafted framed Rangoli

Tampines Town Council recently placed an order for 5 unique handmade sets of Rangoli....... a special privilege is that these custom made sets are going to be signed by 5 of our Honorable Members of Parliament!!

Usually done on floor, Rangolis are designs composed of geometric patterns and shapes, together with rich colours. There are numerous possibilities in pattern and colours by rearranging the geometric shapes and I am always awestruck by seeing these designs and colours in Nature as florals, snowflakes, skin patterns of creatures on land and sea...so on.

Since the order here is to be framed, I had to go for a different medium than usual. I made these a little more special, the users can change the background for a different look......needless to say, I had fun and joy in creating these sets during this festive season. A sneak peek of the designs here........
