Morning photos of nearby farms

A vist to nearby farms, its looking like a good place for doing some paintings as well...

The book shelf

I wanted to fix a nagging storage problem for my books and CDs... They are currently stored in boxes. I haven't unpacked them yet since I don't have proper place for them yet. Sounded like a good opportunity for a carpentry work :) after doing the T junction in college workshop this was the first real object I tried to make.

As being familiar with Blender, it helped to make a quick prototype model in it with the scaled measurements.

I got the plywood cut form the vendor since he had the proper equipment to cut it straight. But he made odd mistakes in millimetres which I had to rectify at home anyway :) since it had to be perfect for the design to work.

Landscape painting outdoors

Landscape painting outdoors... from a follower of impressionism (role models: Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Renoir)

Original photo at the place

This is a spot at our nearby park location in early sunday morning of the winters. Good artists get inspired anywhere and from almost anything, but guys like me need good subjects to start painting :) I chose an easy subject here with lot of clear visual volume (by turbidity in air) between objects. It makes it easy to identify colour patches. I did not concentrate on the shapes much here, my focus was colour (outdoors we have to work fast as the colour changes quickly with the light), maybe I will retouch that later (I need to work on the sky and the shapes a little bit anyways) The painting is one session, Acrylic on paper.

Well after a long time (possibly 6-7 months) I sat down for a painting session, that too outdoors! All thanks to a good painter friend of mine. He does good stuff with water colours.
