an abandoned abode nestled in the mountains - plan to turn this into an oil painting

the old house with the stairs - it lies in one of the paths I use for my walk. i love its dilapidated look and have sketched it often.

Cuing off! I sketched this from a picture in the sports page of a newspaper. It's a brilliant picture; it captures the hand eye coordination being applied so well - I just had to sketch it. As an aside, although I've always been naturally good in most sports, never mastered billiards and cricket. In my younger days - those teenage and the twenties years - the boys would show off their prowess at billiards, while we girls giggled. Many a romance bloomed in the billiards room :)

a sip of cola for a thirsty girl - I love pencil shading to create those creases in her jeans, the strands of her hair, the wooden slats she's leaning back on.. :)

I love painting flowers and fruits.. and leaves and trees and clouds and the sea :)
the new bride

a cube, a cylinder and a sphere - in shades of grey. I love hopping from the chaotic world of abstracts to the controlled world of defined shapes.
