Day3.....A finished work...An abstract by Manisha Vedpathak

I always find it difficult to title an art work when

it comes to a non-representational abstract.

This type of art does not have any fixed object

to associate with reality. But I believe it can make

the viewer feel happy/sad/angry without any concrete

reason.

As I was thinking of the title , I decided to play a

 fun game. I showed my painting to my driver, watchman,

the house helps , my daughter and asked them to tell

 me what they see in my painting. And here's what

I got ....a crocodile, some faces, a world map, ghosts????

clouds.

Would you like to be a part of this game? If yes, do

drop in a comment as to what you see in my painting.

And in my next post I will share my feelings when

I was creating this artwork.

 

 

To have your artwork appreciated by the viewer is a gratifying experience of having accomplished

something significant.

I think of a  lot of themes whenever I want to start 

a painting but eventually end up in doing abstracts.

I have decided that I will try to focus on my abstracts

but I will keep on doing some combination of

 abstract and figurative occasionally.

So here is one in the same line. African ladies washing

clothes.I would appreciate and love any comments on

my artwork.

Here is the finished piece which I mentioned in my previou post.

. My younger daughter has also joined her sister

to my home town for holidays,so it's only me and my hubby for a month

after which we will be joining them.so I am totally free.It is not that

my soul is free of responsibilities ,as one corner of the soul is always 

occupied with kid's thoughts like any other Mom.But yes, my actions are free.

And thats the reason I gave complete freedom to my hands and thus the name.

AFTER ALL SECRET OF HAPPINESS IS FREEDOM.

Though I am not happy with the title.I will be glad if anyone  suggest a better one.

In the above painting,I had no prearrangement of the composition,just

knew that I wanted to use the cooler tones of the pallette.The circles

were done with a comb directly and a pallette knife was used for remaining

except the design,a little  here n there ,was done by brush.Painting an abstract is

just like singing a song...let's say visual song on canvas. Thats the reason

I love listening to  songs while painting....actually I love music any time of

the day. Any suggestions for the title are most welcome!!
