THE UNTAMED SPIRIT

Breaking through the silence
Breaking through the night
Running with all his power
Running with all his might!!

His nostrils flare,
With noble delight,
His wide white eyes,
Full of fight.

He is a King,
With Pure White coat,
Charcoal hooves,
Upon wind he floats.

The breeze of heaven,
Flows through his mane,

The symbol of Freedom...

for spirit within...
He gallops through my heart,
And back again.!!!

Does this wondrous horse
Live only in dreams?
Or maybe in the bright sun...
As it beams.

Or maybe just maybe
He lives in our hearts
Forever and ever...
Never to part.!!! 

I have used the analogy of the spirit being like wild horse, but let’s look at that for just a moment. Wild horses are amazingly beautiful, and majestic out in the wild,....
The spirit is the same.... The spirit is amazing, beautiful, and majestic....
I created this expression  with Acrylics on paper....using this FORM....The untamed horse in motion....as I thought it would reach out as an ambassador of Passion...Freedom...and  Will Power.
In the series of my "Horse paintings...i have used multicolour  on the horse but this horse  chose white for itself as I consider...White should be the colour of the SPIRIT WITHIN!!!

HOPE OF A MIRACLE......

Twinkle Toes...how you...

courtsey to the Bright stars...

Twist-a-bend with the sparkling fairies...

Spin with the princess ballet....

and leap with the magical gazelles...

to chords of David's symphony....

that god sends your way!!

Give me just a sprinkle of your dust ....of CONSTANT JOY...

just a pinch of your magic....of ETERNAL ENERGY....

Just enough to carry me....

Happy and Contented...through my day!!!! 

I made this expression ...as "A Hope of Miracle"

Their are times..when certain things become mundane and never changing....that is the time when your imagination works towards fantasizing ....for MIRACLES....

I have used the Tree to symbolize the never changing aspects of life....and I added the fairy as my Fantasy...to Hope for a Miracle...The Bright Crimson Ball is the Energy ...I want.....to Find Happiness and Contentment in my life.  

MEERA ..Devotion personified

MEERA ...I adore  this historical character..for all its amazing qualities!!!
The beauty of the Rajput Princess,
The strength of her conviction and belief,.
Her faith in her lord,
and her individuality...to be what she is.
She believed in her lord and sacrificed all the material things...faced oppositions.. murder attempts and went on to love her krishna...and stay lost in her thoughts.
 This poem which talks about her love for Krishna and how nothing else matters to her:

Nothing is really mine except Krishna.
O my parents, I have searched the world
And found nothing worthy of love.
Hence I am a stranger amidst my kinfolk
And an exile from their company,
Since I seek the companionship of holy men;
There alone do I feel happy,
In the world I only weep.
I planted the creeper of love
And silently watered it with my tears;
Now it has grown and overspread my dwelling.
You offered me a cup of poison
Which I drank with joy.
Mira is absorbed in contemplation of Krishna,
She is with God and all is well!

मेरे तो गिरिधर गोपाल दूसरो न कोई।
जाके सिर मोर मुकुट मेरो पति सोई।
तात मात भ्रात बंधु आपनो न कोई॥।
छाँड़ि दी कुल की कानि कहा करिहै कोई।
संतन ढिंग बैठि-बैठि लोक लाज खोई॥
चुनरी के किये टूक ओढ़ लीन्ही लोई।
मोती मूँगे उतार बनमाला पोई॥
अँसुवन जल सींचि सींचि प्रेम बेलि बोई।
अब तो बेल फैल गई आणँद फल होई॥
दूध की मथनियाँ बड़े प्रेम से बिलोई।
माखन जब काढ़ि लियो छाछा पिये कोई॥
भगत देख राजी हुई जगत देखि रोई।
दासी "मीरा" लाल गिरिधर तारो अब मोही॥

VISHVAATMA.....The Supreme Controller.

Y

The Love for Krishna  The Supreme Controller has again come out on my canvas...
My mind is always attached to him. Again and Again...I am inspired to bring out his presence .....in my art creations....and this time ...I made this  embossed mural  ...of the Blue eyed Krishna...as Vishvaatma..as he is the supreme controller of the universe ....My inner universe!!!
The holder of the SUDARSHAN CHAKRA.... holds the Universe on his finger

Oh Lotus eyed one...
You are the ultimate Sanctuary of this manifested Cosmic World.
You are the Know er of  everything.....and You are all that is Knowable!
You are Air...Although you are one...you spread throughout the sky..and the planets...and all the Space!
You are the Supreme Controller!
Oh Limitless form....this whole Cosmic manifestation is pervaded by you!
O Lord of the Universe,....I See you....No End, No Middle and No Beginning.

REACHING... THE INFINATE!!!

,

The dusk descends...

Like a misty veil,

Behind the trees.

A silence rises...

Within,

Like a spring!

A fountain...

Of solitude,

And stillness!!

Can you feel it…hear it…see it….?

Be quite...

Be silent...

For ..in silence…lies

The infinite meaning

Of the words…

Spoken and unspoken!!

I painted a cluster of these tall  eucalyptus trees...

from my memories of our childhood days...when i was very young and the perception of height...width...distance...and time was three times more than what it actually was  !!!

Tall trees...when seen from below gave a wonderful feeling....

We can aspire to reach the sky.....just by growing tall!!!

Aura of Bliss

Imagination is the Divine aspect of mankind... upon whose wings...we may fly...and thus realise all our finest possibilities..

As William Blake Said.....

I rest not from my great task!

To open the immortal worlds, 

to open the immortal eyes....of Man...inwards...

Into the worlds of thought...into eternity...

Ever expanding in the Bosom of God, ....THE HUMAN IMAGINATION.

Imagination gives us Wings...to reach to the far off lands of possibilities....

The only ingredients required for this journey is ....PEACE..with oneself...and the ability to open the eyes...INWARDS!

Whenever I look inwards...I find myself ...in the SURREAL world ...with the AURA OF BLISS...where my core radiates warm colours ...of Chrome and Crimson ...and the horizon...seems to be a part of me!!!

This surreal ...abstract is acrylics on paper...i have made the wings transparent ...to show that they are imaginary....the figure sits in SUKH AASAN...depicting the comfort with herself...and the colours...which form the aura....are warm colours  to suite the theme.

CELEBRATIONS OF EXISTANCE

I dance for me....
The silent vibrations from within...
Rhythm of the unseen.
I dance for me...
My steps follow their own direction...
My heartbeats echoes their sound.
My dance is pure..
My dance is Whirlwind...
I dance the Spirits Within...
I dance me.....I dance for me.

Its an acrylics on paper...i used a smaller figure this time.....to give myself ample space to dance around....
I love the fall of the fabric the dancer is wearing.....i tried to give it maximum texture  with pallet knife....applied layres of paint to bring out the desired look...I guess i should have used a stretched canvas instead of paper to make the puffy layered gown look more adorable....
