Whats Happening Folks?

Why is everybody so silent?

I have been waiting for people to send the pictures so that I can post those pics on the new blog. Even I haven't had enough time to create the new blog, but that hardly takes any time. I am just waiting for everyone to send their pics so that as soon as I create the blog I can also upload some good amount of content on it.

OR, 

is it that everyone is busy painting?

Ms. Usha - 'Plein Air' Painting camp at Lal Bagh

March 27th was a very memorable day for me. Not only because it was our Telugu New Year - Ugadi, but also because I spent most of the day at Lal Bagh - Bangalore, doing what I like most in my life- namely painting.

We, the members of 'Bangalore Art Forum' met at Lal Bagh on this day and completed our first activity namely 'plein air painting' successfully; as scheduled.

It was a very pleasant day, as only Bangalore is blessed with such a wonderful climate; as far as I know. Painting the nature under the shadow of the trees with a gentle breeze blowing against the face, and with six other artiists for company was an exhilerating experience. Artists who painted along with me are senior aritist Jagdish Kadur, Jyothirmoy (founder), Subodh, Sankar and Prabha.

'Plein Air' painting as it is popularly called in French; actually means 'painting nature on location'. It is the ultimate challenge for artiists of the realistic school of art to do this. I am looking forward to many more activities that is going to make our 'Bangalore Art Forum' a grand success.

What are you upto?

To All Folks of the Forum,

Its been some time after we had our art camp at Lalbagh. But, why is there so much of silence here. Lets atleast discuss OR post something about our experiences that day.

To start with I have a few questions which we can try to answer:

1. What do you think about the place (Lalbagh) we chose for our activity? Could it have been better OR not?
   
2. Did we have a good time with fellow artists, discussing about our work, their work and others  works?
   
3. Was there any learning which you took back home? If Yes, did you try applying it when doing  any painting?
   
4. Why don't we put on display our works which we started/finished that day at Lalbagh. It  would be a good example for others to see what we have achieved. It might as well motivate them to join us the next time :-) Just being very optimistic.
   

Hope this will ignite the artist within each one of you and we will soon see some fire here.
